So sayeth the bible:
marriage is between man and woman: bride who cannot prove her virginity is stoned to death. generally arranged, with the bride having no say over the matter.
marriage is between widow and her brother in law: Gen 38: 6-10
marriage is between rapist and victim: the victim must marry her rapist and be raped again and again. (well it's not rape any more, they did get married and therefore the husband has the right to sex) Deut 22: 28-29
read the link provided for verses on the following:
marriage is between man, woman and concubines
marriage is between man, woman and woman and woman
marriage is between man, woman and her female slaves
marriage is between man and his prisoner of war
marriage is between male slave and female slave (female slave is assigned to the male by the master, with neither slave having a say in this)

so yes, whenever you hear someone saying the bible dictates that marriage is between man and woman, remind them what is also in the bible about marriage.

"If, however, the charge is true and no proof of the young woman’s virginity can be found, she shall be brought to the door of her father’s house and there the men of her town shall stone her to death."

Marriage in the bible, has also been between a man and 1,000 other women (Solomon).
Marriage was also between a man and his sister (Abraham & Sarah)
Marriage was also between a man and his cousin (Jacob & Rebecca)

Originally posted by ZahlanziRight, but Christians would simply claim that was out of necessity, since there were only two humans to start with. I mentioned Abraham, because there was no reason for him to marry his sister.
well, there was plenty of sister and cousin marriage right after adam and eve

Originally posted by sonshipSo what can we infer from this question? Either you read the Bible, read the passage about stoning (alleged) non-virgins to death, shrugged, and then forgot about it, or you didn't read the Bible. Which one is it?

And King Solomon himself loved many foreign wives along with the daughter of Pharaoh, Moabite, Ammonite, Edomite, Sidonian and Hittite women, from the nations of whom Jehovah had said to the sons of Israel: ‘You must not go in among them, and they themselves should not come in among you; truly they will incline your heart to follow their gods.’ It was to them that Solomon clung to love them. And he came to have seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines; and his wives gradually inclined his heart. And it came about in the time of Solomon’s growing old that his wives themselves had inclined his heart to follow other gods; and his heart did not prove to be complete with Jehovah his God like the heart of David his father. - 1 Kings 11
We must assume that you simply made the number 1000 up and were unaware of Gods warning or at very least somehow failed to mention it.
2. Sarah was actually Abraham's half sister, we must assume that you simply made it up that he was his sister or failed somehow to report the matter accurately.
3. So marriage was between cousins, big deal.

Originally posted by robbie carrobie700 plus 300 equals.....what? I know you're a creationist, but give it a try.

Does that make it better?
Originally posted by robbie carrobieThat's a very important verse in the Bible. It's not just some esoteric scripture very that only scholars know about. A Christian who spends as much time as Sonship being a biblical apologist should've known about such an oft quoted verse.

Originally posted by ZahlanziWhere in the Bible does it say a bride who can not prove her virginity is stoned to death? I believe you are confusing the Quran and islamic practice with the Holy Bible.
So sayeth the bible:
marriage is between man and woman: bride who cannot prove her virginity is stoned to death. generally arranged, with the bride having no say over the matter.
marriage is between widow and her brother in law: Gen 38: 6-10
marriage is between rapist and victim: the victim must marry her rapist and be raped again and again. (well it ...[text shortened]... es that marriage is between man and woman, remind them what is also in the bible about marriage.
A widow woman can get married according to your own reference from the Holy Bible, which prove your first assertion incorrect.
I did not check your source because I can tell it is not from the Holy Bible, but from some one with propaganda to support an evil agenda.

Originally posted by twhiteheadIt may or may not be a problem. A bad mutation is more likely to cause problems, like sickle cell anemia, if both husband and wife have the mutation. And that is more likely, if the husband and wife were brother and sister or very close relatives.
Is this a problem? Cousin marriages are quite common. I know of several in my own family tree, even a case of two brothers marrying two sisters that were their cousins.
