Question: Are
we an incestuous race? The children of Adam and Eve were married among
themselves. – right.
Answer: No
doubt the children of Adam and Eve married between themselves. Earlier
on there was no prohibition in this matter simply because, it seems, that
there was no other way out. Later this prohibition came into affect. This
incestuous relationship, if you prefer to call it by this name, was rendered
weak in a particular way: The progeny of Adam and Eve was mostly born in
the form of twins -- a boy and a girl. These twins were born after many
years in between them. The boy of one twin pair married the girl of another
twin pair.
In this way, a weakness was incorporated
in the relationship. Later on, of course, this relationship was completely
prohibited.
