Marriage Among Siblings and Close Relatives: Biblical Faith and Historical Reality

 

Throughout history, marriage between close relatives, including siblings and half-siblings, has been a complex and controversial subject. To fully understand this phenomenon, it is necessary to consider both biblical faith and historical reality.

Biblical Faith Perspective
In the Bible, early human societies, according to traditional interpretations, were limited to small family groups. Figures such as Adam and Eve, and their descendants, are described as having established the initial human population. Within this context, marriages among close relatives were a practical necessity for the survival of humanity. The early laws regarding consanguinity—relationships by blood—appeared later, particularly in the Mosaic Law, which prohibited marriages between certain close relatives to uphold religious commandments and moral order.

Historical Reality
Historically, before the formalization of religious laws, marriage among close relatives was not uncommon, especially in noble or royal families. Such unions were often motivated by social, political, or economic reasons: to preserve wealth, consolidate power, or maintain bloodlines. Ancient civilizations did not have the same understanding of genetics or hereditary diseases, so the focus was primarily on strategic alliances rather than health concerns.

📜 Relations Between Siblings and Half-Siblings — Biblical and Historical Context


Period / Figure

Source

Situation

How It Was Seen / Consequence

Adam, Eve and their children

Genesis 4–5

Children had to marry sisters/nieces (implied).

Necessity to populate humanity.

Abraham and Sarah

Genesis 20:12

Marriage between half-siblings.

Accepted before the Law.

Lot and his daughters

Genesis 19:30–38

Daughters intoxicated Lot to conceive.

Implicitly condemned; Moabites and Ammonites born.

Amnon and Tamar (David’s children)

2 Samuel 13

Amnon forced his half-sister Tamar.

Scandal and tragedy in royal house.

Mosaic Law

Leviticus 18; 20

Prohibition of relations between close relatives.

From then on, completely forbidden in Israel.

Ancient Egypt (Pharaohs)

History

Royal sibling marriages (e.g., Cleopatra VII married two brothers).

Normal practice to preserve “divine purity” of the bloodline.

Mesopotamia (Sumerian/Babylonian kings)

History

Records of consanguineous unions among rulers.

Seen as consolidating power and inheritance.

Ancient Greece (mythology & some royals)

Mythology/History

Gods and kings with incestuous unions (e.g., Zeus with Hera, his sister).

Accepted in myth, socially taboo.

Ancient Rome (imperial families)

History

Some noble/imperial families with consanguineous marriages.

Rare, but tolerated in circles of power.



👉 Clear takeaway:

  • In the Bible initially tolerated, later prohibited under Mosaic Law.
  • In History practiced especially among royal/noble families for political or dynastic reasons, even when socially questionable.

 Modern Understanding and Law

Today, laws prohibiting marriage between siblings, half-siblings, or other close relatives serve two main purposes. First, from a health perspective, these laws aim to prevent genetic diseases that are more likely to occur when individuals with closely related DNA have children. Second, they reflect ethical and religious principles derived from biblical teachings and societal norms. The prohibition aligns both with modern scientific understanding and with historical faith-based moral codes.

Conclusion
Marriage among siblings and close relatives is a subject that bridges faith, history, and science. In the biblical context, it was initially a practical necessity, later restricted by laws to align with divine command and societal ethics. Historically, such marriages occurred for strategic purposes, but today, they are prohibited mainly to prevent health risks and to respect religious and moral traditions. By considering both biblical faith and real historical practices, we gain a fuller understanding of why these prohibitions exist and how they have evolved over time.

Trump, Putin, Netanyahu: The Illusion of Power and the Reality of War

 


Donald Trump has long claimed that he could end the war in Ukraine “within 24 hours” if he were back in power. He presents himself as a man who can dictate peace by sheer force of will. Yet the reality today proves otherwise: he does not hold the influence he imagines, neither over Vladimir Putin’s war in Ukraine nor over Benjamin Netanyahu’s brutal campaign in Gaza.

Putin the Dictator

Vladimir Putin has shown, time and again, that he is a dictator who sustains his power through repression at home and destruction abroad. The war in Ukraine, which began with his full-scale invasion in February 2022, has left tens of thousands dead and millions displaced. Despite global sanctions and international condemnation, Putin continues his campaign, revealing that no outside figure—Trump included—can simply “order” him to stop.

Netanyahu: The Other Face of the Same Brutality

Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel’s longest-serving Prime Minister, has taken a similar path of destructive obstinacy. His government’s relentless bombardment of Gaza after October 7, 2023, has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians, the majority women and children. Entire neighborhoods have been flattened. The international community watches in horror, but does nothing effective. The brutality inflicted on Palestinians today echoes the darkest chapters of history, with Netanyahu’s policies resembling—shockingly—the persecution his own people once suffered under Hitler. This is not “self-defense”; it is systematic annihilation.

The Myth of Power in Washington

Trump pretends he could stop these massacres overnight. But what has he done? He speaks, he boasts, yet the wars rage on. The United States, despite being a superpower, has proven unable to halt the bloodshed. The same goes for Europe, the United Nations, and other global organizations. They issue statements, they send aid, they impose sanctions—but none of it stops the killing. The truth is simple: these leaders—Putin and Netanyahu—act with impunity, and Trump’s words mean nothing against their actions.

Money: Created for Society, Misused for Control

Money was not created to enslave humanity. At its origin, it was meant as a tool to better organize society, to simplify exchange, to serve communities. But today it has become a mechanism of domination. Humanity now treats money not as a means, but as the measure of human worth. This is a tragic distortion. Life is not built on money—it is built on solidarity, compassion, dignity, and love for one another. When money replaces these values, society loses its soul.

The Real Power Lies With the People

Putin and Netanyahu are condemned not only by history, but by humanity itself, for the massacres they orchestrate. Yet the responsibility does not end with them. Ordinary people, across nations, continue to tolerate this reality. There is enough money, enough resources in the world to end misery and rebuild societies. But wealth is concentrated in the hands of the few, while billions suffer. People know this, but they remain silent. They complain, but they do not act.

A Call to Wake Up

The wars in Ukraine and Gaza expose a painful truth: the so-called powerful are nothing without the passivity of the people. Trump cannot stop them. Washington cannot stop them. The United Nations cannot stop them. Only a collective awakening, a refusal to accept war, occupation, and exploitation, can end this cycle.

Money exists in abundance; what is missing is courage, justice, and solidarity. Humanity must reclaim its true wealth: not currency, but the capacity to share, to care, and to love.

Until the people take ownership of their future, misery will remain the norm, and the illusion of power will continue to shield dictators and warmongers from accountability.

SAISI


Manifesto for Humanity

War is not power, it is destruction.
Money is not life, it is only a tool.
Real power belongs to the people who awaken.

Putin, Netanyahu, and all who rule through fear have already lost legitimacy.
Trump cannot end wars in 24 hours, because no one owns human dignity.

Our mission is simple and urgent:
End misery, stop wars, and return the planet to the people.
Life is not measured in euros or dollars, but in sharing, in love, and in justice.

The time for waiting is over.
The future begins the moment humanity awakens.

"Trump's Policies and Their Ripple Effect on LGBTQ+ Rights Across Europe"

 

In the early months of 2025, the Trump administration has enacted several policies that have not only impacted the United States but have also sent ripples across the Atlantic, affecting LGBTQ+ communities in Europe. These developments have prompted European leaders and activists to reassess their strategies in safeguarding LGBTQ+ rights.

U.S. Policies Influencing European Stances

The Trump administration's recent actions, such as the executive order to defund sex education programs that include references to transgender individuals, have been met with criticism from various quarters. European leaders are closely monitoring these developments, as they could influence domestic policies and the broader discourse on LGBTQ+ rights.

The Global Backlash Against 'Gender Ideology'

The term 'gender ideology' has been increasingly used by right-wing leaders globally to justify policies that undermine LGBTQ+ rights. In Europe, this rhetoric has found resonance among certain political factions, leading to legislative actions that threaten the progress made in LGBTQ+ equality.

Impact on LGBTQ+ Organizations and Activism

European LGBTQ+ organizations are facing challenges as they navigate the shifting political landscape. The influence of U.S. policies has led to a tightening of resources and increased scrutiny, affecting their ability to operate effectively.

The Role of Public Opinion and Media

Public opinion in Europe regarding LGBTQ+ rights is being shaped by the unfolding events in the U.S. Media coverage plays a crucial role in either supporting or challenging these narratives, influencing public perception and policy decisions.

The interconnectedness of global politics means that actions in one country can have far-reaching implications. As the situation develops, it is essential for European nations to remain vigilant and proactive in defending the rights of LGBTQ+ individuals, ensuring that progress is not reversed in the face of external pressures.

The ApolOgy of SilenCe

 

Straight in the eyes, an unpublished text praising silence: a misunderstood weapon capable of countering the horrors and degrading speeches of a world prone to making only noise; encouraging only speech even when it may prove useless.

There are two very different types of silence: sometimes we remain silent because we cannot speak, sometimes because we have something better to do. These are not at all the same thing!

The first silence, which I have experienced, like everyone else, traps us in the failure or impossibility of speech: the silence of aphasia, isolation, shyness, quarrel, incommunicability, sometimes even within a couple or family.

The second silence opens us up to the world, to ourselves, and to others: the silence of sensation, action, attention, listening, meditation, contemplation, sometimes love. Suffering is not the same as saying “I am in pain.” Enjoying is not the same as saying “This is good.” Loving is not the same as saying “I love you.” This silence is reality itself, life itself, which is not a word, nor several, but that which words speak about when they are true, when they approach the essential instead of masking it. This is what distinguishes confidence from chatter, literature from entertainment, and philosophy from sophistry: by the part of silence they contain or reveal.

Speech, at least the kind I love, is not meant to break silence, but to express it, celebrate it, share it!

A Text That Summarizes Today's Society

 

Welcome to the 21st Century

Here sex is free and love has become a pocket full of money.

Where losing your phone is worse than losing your values. Where the trend is to smoke and drink, and if you don't do that, you'll be left behind.

Where the bathroom has become a photo studio and the church, the perfect place to register.

21st century, where men and women fear pregnancy much more than HIV.

Where pizza delivery arrives faster than an ambulance.

Where people are more afraid of terrorists and criminals than of God.

Where clothes decide a person's worth and having money is more important than having friends or even a family.

21st century, where children are capable of disowning their parents for their virtual love.

Where parents forget to gather their family at the table for a harmonious dinner, talking about daily life while having fun at work or on their phone.

Where men and women often just want relationships without commitment, and their only 'commitment' is to pose for photos and post on social media swearing eternal love.

Where love has become public or a theatrical performance.

Where the most popular or most liked photos are those that seem to spread happiness; those that post photos in fantastic and paradisiacal places, surrounded by 'empty loves' and 'broken families'.

Where people have forgotten to take care of the spirit, the empty soul, and have decided to take care of and tattoo their bodies.

Where it costs more to have the desired body of the 'artistic world' than a university degree.

Where a gym photo gets many more likes than a photo studying or doing good deeds.

21st century, here you only survive if you play with 'reason' and you are destroyed if you act with the heart.

 --------------------------------

My generation thought that today's society in the 21st century would be: A Vision Focused on Love, Family, and Spirituality!

Rewriting the 21st century:

Welcome to the 21st century,

Where love, family, and spirituality are celebrated as fundamental pillars of society.

Here, sharing authentic emotions is valued much more than superficiality.

Losing your phone is seen as an opportunity to reconnect with oneself and others.

The bathroom is a place of reflection and relaxation, away from the turmoil of daily life.

Places of worship are places of peace and contemplation, where spiritual values ​​guide individuals' actions.

In the 21st century, men and women give equal importance to physical and mental health.

Solidarity and empathy are the pillars upon which society rests.

Fast food delivery is replaced by meals cooked with love and shared with family.

Fear is replaced by trust in humanity and the search for peaceful solutions to global challenges.

Here, clothes are seen as self-expression rather than an indicator of social status.

Friendship and mutual support are invaluable, far above any material wealth.

Children grow up in an environment where unconditional love is the norm, and where family is the foundation of their education.

In the 21st century, relationships are based on respect, communication, and mutual commitment.

Social media is used to share authentic and inspiring moments, rather than perfect facades.

Beauty is recognized in the diversity and richness of human experience, rather than in unrealistic beauty standards.

Here, personal fulfillment and spiritual growth are valued much more than the pursuit of instant gratification.

Everyone is encouraged to cultivate their mind, nurture their soul, and contribute to collective well-being.

Welcome to a vision of the 21st century where harmony, love, and respect are at the heart of every human interaction.

We value your feedback and comments.

Unemployed but not without Work

 

 The broadcast of this documentary (1h12) I was unable to translate it into English, which I am really sorry.

https://www.facebook.com/100001064094952/videos/399420342860399/

Documentary initiated by a group of RSA (Active Solidarity Income) is a French social protection benefit that complements the income of destitute individuals or those with low resources, to guarantee them a minimum income.

It is as citizens that they wanted to exchange and share their experiences and reflections on the situation in which they live.

The formula surprises many as the difference is not necessarily obvious. For an employee, the two notions merge, but for someone without a job, the difference is glaring.

Everyone interviewed considers that they work, but they receive an RSA allowance because they are not employees and are therefore considered unemployed. Their reflection stems from their analysis of the social, professional, and cultural environment in which they operate, and the observation is clear: in the eyes of society, they have no job, therefore no work, making them a burden on society.

Deconstructing this process is one of the themes of the film, in addition to the notion of Employment/Work. Added to this are the specific issues faced by each individual: difficulties in speech, health problems, mobility issues, precarious month-ends, and the often challenging judgment of others. All the people interviewed are insightful, both about themselves and about the world of work and the RSA system.

Faced with these testimonies, faced with these often moving but always sincere encounters, the choice of editing will be one of sobriety. The best way to honour all these people who have had setbacks is to respect their words, their hesitations, their convictions, and their humanity.

The people who initiated this film and participate in it prove through their commitment that they are not burdens, but fully-fledged members of the society in which they operate.
