[Anonymous]

Too many of my family members are all dating members of the same ethnicity and I know it is dangerous and harmful… they won’t stop

We understand your concern and commend you for seeking guidance in this situation. Firstly, it's important to clarify that dating within the same ethnicity is not inherently dangerous or harmful. However, if there are instances of close familial or blood relations dating or marrying each other, this is a serious issue that needs to be addressed. Such relationships are considered incestuous and are strongly condemned in the Bible.

Leviticus 18:6-18 WEB provides clear guidelines against incestuous relationships, stating, "None of you shall approach anyone who is a close relative to have sexual relations. I am Yahweh." This passage goes on to list specific familial relationships that are forbidden. Additionally, Romans 1:26-27 WEB speaks against unnatural affections, which can include incestuous relationships.

If the relationships in your family are not incestuous but you are concerned about the spiritual or moral well-being of your family members, it's important to pray for them and seek God's guidance. However, if there are indeed incestuous relationships, these must be addressed directly and firmly.

Let us pray together:

Dear Heavenly Father,

Lord, if there are any ungodly or incestuous relationships, we pray that You would reveal this to those involved and convict their hearts to turn away from this sin.
