Yourselves?
The only way is to live according to the bible and God's word is totally against what you two are doing. First of all, you are fornication with this man and to make matters worse, you are first cousins
? Thats like sleeping with your brother Bizca!!!!! You need to put aside the fact that you love this man (it doesnt matter if you fell in love with him before you two found out you were related) and think about what it is that you are doing. Before God as Akabezalel said, SIN IS SIN (there is no small or big sin) and God hates sin. How can we then pray for sin to be protected? Im sorry but i can not pray for that for you. I am instead praying that our heavenly Father will shade His light on you that you may realise what you are doing and how you are hurting God and your family as well and totally let go.
| I took this discussion about cousin relationships to three other Christian boards and everyone was very supportive and they agreed that there is nothing in the bible against it. |

THE only thing GOD asks you to do is LOVE and Seek HIM first for all your needs...including advice... IT is funny to me that everyone seems to want to focus on the sexual sins and seem to forget JESUS' words...JUDGE NOT... I have learned that those who judge also judge themselves in the same manner and never find peace because they focus on judging rather than encouraging and loving one another.... If your foundation is built on LOVE then you know GOD is with you... SEEK HIM rather than people... unfortunately we are all human and we all act worldly in some way or another. Ask GOD for answers and when you open the BIBLE...OPEN it with LOVE in your heart... and you will find your answers... My fail-proof method when praying is that I tell GOD if it is NOT HIS WILL then take the desires from me... I am wanting a BABY...but it works for a man, too...I'm sure... IF it remains within you then you have your answer.... GOD loves us...so much more than we can even comprehend in our human minds... he does not want us to live in condemnation and guilt... his plans are to prosper us not harm us.... LISTEN to GOD...not MAN... your heart will tell you what is right when you focus it on GOD...and the thing GOD wants most is for us to LOVE...My love and prayers are with you....

Homosexuality or sleeping with a cousin out of wedlock or in wedlock ALL are perversion and sin. 1Co 6:18 Be fleeing the sexual sin! Every sin, whichever a person commits, is outside of the body, but one committing sexual sin sins against his own body. If you choose to live in sin that is your choice, God will not be able to see you or hear your prayers through your sin. Heb 10:26 For [if] we [are] deliberately sinning after the receiving [of] the full [or, true] knowledge of the truth [there] no longer remains a sacrifice concerning sins, Heb 10:27 but only a terrifying expectation of judgment and fiery indignation being about to be devouring the adversaries. Heb 10:28 Anyone regarding as nothing [or, rejecting] [the] Law of Moses dies without mercies on [the testimony of] two or three witnesses. Heb 10:29 By how much severer punishment do you* suppose will be counted worthy the one having trampled underfoot God's Son and having regarded [as] unclean the blood of the covenant by which he was sanctified, and having outraged the Spirit of grace? Heb 10:30 For we know the One having said, "Vengeance [is] Mine; _I_ will repay," says [the] Lord. And again, "[The] LORD will judge His people." [Deut 32:35,36] Heb 10:31 [It is] terrifying to fall into [the] hands of [the] living God! You are, for all intents and purposes, a heathen. You may not want to hear that truth but that is in the Bible and you have been given verse after verse showing you where having sex with your cousin is wrong. God will not hear you or see you until you repent and turn away from this course of action and come to Him. Joh 9:31 "Now we know that God does not hear sinners, _but_ if anyone is God-fearing [or, devout] and is doing His will, this one He hears. He has no choice but to let you have your own way and go to hell by the choices you make. You are in rebellion. You are using your Ex as an excuse to spit in God's face. You are using you lust for your cousin as an excuse to turn away from God in anger. You are old enough that I will not sugar coat the truth for you. Having called yourself our Sister in Christ (Brother) and having decided to deliberately stay in sin you force all of us to turn our backs to you and treat you as a heathen. 1Co 5:9 I wrote to you* in the epistle not to be associating with sexual sinners, 1Co 5:10 yet [I did] not at all [mean] with the sexual sinners of this world, or with the covetous or swindlers or idolaters, in that case you* then [would] be obligated to go out of the world! 1Co 5:11 But now, I wrote to you* not to be associating with anyone being named a brother if he is a sexual sinner or covetous or an idolater or a slanderer [or, an abusive person] or a drunkard or a swindler, not even to eat with such a person. 1Co 5:12 For what [is it] to me to also judge the ones outside? You* judge the ones within, do you* not? 1Co 5:13 But God judges the ones outside. "And you* will expel the evil [one] from among yourselves." [Deut 17:7; 19:19; 22:21,24; 24:7] Mat 18:15 "Now if your brother sins against you, be going, and show him his fault between you and him alone, if he hears you, you gained your brother. Mat 18:16 "But if he does not hear [you], take along with you yet one or two, so that 'by [the] mouth of two or three witnesses every word shall be established.' [Deut 19:15] Mat 18:17 "But if he refuses to listen to them, tell [it] to the assembly [or, church]; but if he also refuses to listen to the assembly, he shall be to you just like the heathen and the tax collector. You came to us, we have warned you and tried to convince you of this sin several times, this board is a church and you are still set in your path to sin and you refuse to listen. May God have Mercy on you. Gal 5:19 Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, sexual sin, impurity [or, immorality], flagrant sexual immorality, Gal 5:20 idolatry, witchcraft, hostilities [or, feuds], quarrels, jealous rivalries, angry outbursts, selfish ambitions, divisions [or, discords], heretical sects, Gal 5:21 envies [or, jealousies], murders, drunkennesses, drunken orgies, and the [things] like these; which I forewarn you*, just as I also warned [you*] before that the ones practicing such [things] will not inherit [the] kingdom of God. When you are ready to listen we will be here to hear you and lead you to the Father through Jesus Christ His Son in whom there is no impurity. Salvation is yours, all you have to do is repent (turn away, change your mind) in choosing sin over God, ask for His forgiveness through Jesus. We have all sinned and come short of the Glory of God, when we wise up we go to Jesus and ask Him to intercede for us, for our Salvation and Healing and Deliverance. God Loves you. You have tied His hands, He cannot help you while you choose sin as a life style. |
