MCGI TOPIC REVIEW - What Does The Bible Say About Marrying A Close Relative?

The sermon against marrying or having a sexual relationship with a close relative opens the eyes to the wisdom behind the commandment of God. Many people today question why the Bible has set strict boundaries when it comes to marriage and relationship.

But the Bible has explained that science itself now confines the truth. The Bible in Leviticus 8:6-18 outlines the details of all kinds of kinship that are forbidden. So these laws are not just cultural traditions, they are divine safeguards to protect us from this physical, emotional, and spiritual harm.

Bro Eli made an emphasis on is that marriage within one's bloodline can result in serious consequences and can lead to more genetic disorder proving this. There has been shown that marriages between first cousins or siblings or within relatives can pose increased health risks such as birth defects and genetic abnormalities.

This discovery validates that God already declared thousands of years ago that we should not marry our close ones. We have been reminded that commandments are not just meant to limit our happiness but to preserve our life, our well-being.

This teaching is here to inspire us to trust more on God's wisdom. These words are timeless and even when we do not fully understand, it's always behind us leading us to a good life that we can enjoy his blessing and protection.
