How many types of early homosapiens were there? How many initial homosapien individuals? How do you think they procreated and with whom?
The concept of incest is only negative because generally and in the contemporary context, the results of incestuous relations are frequently negative.
Hence, why the frequent incest in Jesus' genealogy is noteworthy. Furthermore, even the bible denounces incest:

Leviticus 18:
6 “‘No one is to approach any close relative to have sexual relations.
8 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your father’s wife; that would dishonor your father.
9 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your sister, either your father’s daughter or your mother’s daughter, whether she was born in the same home or elsewhere.
11 “‘Do not have sexual relations with the daughter of your father’s wife, born to your father; she is your sister.
15 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your daughter-in-law. She is your son’s wife; do not have relations with her.
16 “‘Do not have sexual relations with your brother’s wife; that would dishonor your brother.
18 “‘Do not take your wife’s sister as a rival wife and have sexual relations with her while your wife is living."
All of these acts were committed somewhere in Jesus' family history, either by direct ancestors or close relatives of direct ancestors.

Just once, I'd like to imagine you having the courage to come right out with YOUR point, instead of being passive-aggressive and dropping one shoe and then waiting for someone to "take the bait" and then finally dropping the other one and coming to your main point.

Torture forever for animals and this is okay with you. Your gods are sick.
There a list of them in Revelation.

You don't know what you're talking about. Provide scriptural evidence for that assertion. Prove that any of those seven commandments was violated by any of Jesus' ancestors.
Originally posted by josephwAbimilek confronted Abraham about why he told people Sarah was his sister instead of his wife, Abraham said it was out of fear that he'd be killed over her. He then added in Genesis 20:12, "Besides, she really is my sister, the daughter of my father though not of my mother; and she became my wife."

Genesis 38: Judah impregnated his daughter-in-law, resulting in an ancestor of Jesus.
2 Samuel 16:22, Absalom slept with the wives of his father David.
Clearly, you're the one who doesn't know what he's talking about.

So you believe God is recording all my words and plans to play them back for me? Why?
I believe that all will be judged and most will be found lacking, with a sin debt balance that we cannot repay on our own. I have no idea how that will be made manifest; no doubt the mechanic will be suited to the individual being judged. I do know that we will be without excuse.

Originally posted by KellyJayYour creator gods are all powerful and all knowing, right? So who made hell, and who made people, and who sends people to hell?
Where in the world did torture for animals come from, are you on drugs, or drinking?
They don't sentence people to hell based on morality, instead they punish forever based on faith belief systems. How can you tell if your gods are evil?
