Actually it does not,but MAY depending on shared recessive genes..
Brother sister marriage was a feature of the Egyptian royal family,which produced Cleopatra V11 and Ramses The Great, to mention just two. This practice was not restricted to the Egyptians.Eg Hawaiian Royal family. The Julio-Claudian bloodline also has some pretty close relationships.(especially with nieces)
Well then, sounds like Adam and Eve's children could procreate without too many birth defects, thanks for working that out for me. When you say it, it sounds much better.
People asked why it's wrong and I believe the reason: two bodies of the same gender do not properly work together is a good answer, what part of that is homophobia? I'm stating the obvious aren't I? And doesn't someone with a phobia need to have a level of fear and anxiety? Homosexuality is a personal choice, just like all choices, even though I'm saying its wrong doesn't mean people won't choose to do it and it doesn't mean I will stop them. I let people choose for themselves.

Homosexuality: Homosexual couples must use instruments or parts of the body that were not created for conception, such as the rectum, in order to have sex. Homosexual couples cannot procreate because their genitals are the same, therefore they will never have their bloodline will end when they die.
But there are many hetrosexual couples that cannot have children, are they also sinful becaue their sex won't lead to children?
No, sex within marriage that does not yield children is not sinful. It's not sinful because the couple have the right organs to conceive, sadly their bodies are not properly functioning. Homosexuals cannot say the same thing, two vaginas will never create sperm, two penis' will never make an egg. It's literally impossible for people of the same gender to have children, but we know that desire exists, but their bodies will never let it be so.
"And without faith it is impossible to please God, because anyone who comes to him must believe that he exists and that he rewards those who earnestly seek him." Hebrews 11:6
