Yes, that is the case. However it was not a crime at that time there was no law to define it as wrong.
I know that incest is not accepted now but yet at what degree is yet a question among different cultures. This is seen here from time to time in the topic of cousin marriages.

I still have the question if incestuious marriages alone really would have the effect stated by Ibn Juferi on religious sects. Or if in fact by stating it the way he did he completely blurred the issue of why there are so many religious sects.

If at first you succeed...try something harder.

Most people consider siblings having sex with each other wrong even in the absence of laws - for physical (ie. it significantly increases the chances of birth defects, which I'm sure you're aware of as a nurse) and psychological reasons.

An alternative to religion;

Yes now and I would by no means recommend siblings or even first cousins for marriage. Even in some cases not second or third cousins depending on many factors.

The issue with Adam and Eve's children from a Biblical stand point would not have to be genetic problems because they were so near to prefect. Degeneration had just began to occur and was not an issue. The emotion/psychological issues would not have been a factor because there was never any instruction, or social pressure that something wrong had occurred. Also there was at that time there no law against marrying your sibling.

Anyhow the conversation started out about why there are so many religious sects. Which actually has an easy answer. I just find it interesting how willing people are to throw in a totally off the wall topic and go with it.

However, if you would like to go with sibling marriages in a situation like Adam and Eve's children, well okay.

What would you have against siblings marrying if there was no worry of genetic problems, there was no law against it, and you knew they suffered no emotional harm?

If at first you succeed...try something harder.

Not at this time according to the Bible because this is the period of time for Satan to prove his claim that God doesn't have right to have sovereignty over his creation. So right now God is not correcting those type things by means of miracles. For God to step in and fix the mess before the appointed time not be a benefit to the big picture.

It's odd that antiquated scripture of dubious authorship and Dark Age allegory is sufficient to prove to you the existence of demons, and yet the host of evidence arrayed in favour of evolution by natural selection leaves you unconvinced.

Too fucking busy, and vice versa.

Hell

Shoel in hebrew in O.T both good and bad went to Sheol. The good went into a place called abraham bosom in O.T. It was not until Jesus went to sheol to preach the word did that place empty the people who listen

Hades is the same but there is no abraham bosom.

Gehenna the final hell aka Lake of Fire

Went Hades would be the place people wait until they be though into the lake of fire

In terms of Adam and Eve this is hard for one he warn Adam and Eve but give them a choice to make. He allowed them to choice. God warns them but does not stop them for eating the food

Have you come across this before UsagiTsukino?

`But I don't want to go among mad people,' Alice remarked.
`Oh, you can't help that,' said the Cat: `we're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad.'
`How do you know I'm mad?' said Alice.
`You must be,' said the Cat, `or you wouldn't have come here.'

This is not part of the Torah and only canon OT/NT for Eastern denomination. It is an anachronism strictly speaking and contradicts many parts of the Bible both NT and OT.
