Lessons from the Scriptures Part 4 – Incest is Best
This is a continuation of the “lessons from the scriptures” series. This is to show how great the scriptures are as a moral guide and how it must be the place to get your morals from, whereas we hell-bound agnostics are a people without morals since we don’t hold this ancient book up as a moral compass. Check out Part 1, Part 2, and Part 3.
O.K., incest.
Incest in the Bible? Oh yeah, even with the righteous people.
Let’s talk about Lot. Remember him, the man whose wife God turned into a pillar of salt for just turning her head? (Genesis 19:23) Well, Jesus considered him pretty righteous.
“And delivered just Lot, vexed with the filthy conversation of the wicked: (For that righteous man dwelling among them, in seeing and hearing, vexed his righteous soul from day to day with their unlawful deeds;) 2 Peter 2:7-8”
Lot was so righteous that he got drunk and impregnated his two virgin daughters.
Genesis 19:32-36
“Come, let us make our father drink wine, and we will lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night: and the firstborn went in, and lay with her father; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. Behold, I lay yesternight with my father: let us make him drink wine this night also; and go thou in, and lie with him, that we may preserve seed of our father. And they made their father drink wine that night also: and the younger arose, and lay with him; and he perceived not when she lay down, nor when she arose. Thus were both the daughters of Lot with child by their father. ”
Now that’s a party! This is of course not long after Lot offered his two daughters to be raped by a horny mob. (Genesis 19:5-8)
So Jesus called this man righteous, yet he (Lot) was willing to have his daughters raped, and ended up having sex with them himself. Yep that’s pretty righteous.
Now, some people may say “hey, he was drunk, he didn’t know what he was doing!” As many males can attest to, that is just a cover story that males will use to try and not take responsibility for their actions. It says that he didn’t know that he was having sex with them. Right.
Another excuse given is that the daughter thought that they had to “preserve the seed” of their father, and continue the human race after the destruction of Sodom, believing that they were the last tio survive. I’ve heard that before, “Hey baby, there’s a war coming, tonight might be our last night on Earth, and I don’t want to die a virgin”.
Moving on from Lot, the great Patriarch of the Christians, Muslims and Jews, Abraham, had his share of family fun.
Genesis 20:11-12 (New International Version)
11 Abraham replied, “I said to myself, ‘There is surely no fear of God in this place, and they will kill me because of my wife.’ Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife.
I’m so glad that the world has this wonderful book to help guide our actions and teach us the morals to live by.
