If a person can trace their family history back far enough they will usually come across one or more cousin marriages in their tree. First, until almost 1870-1880 is was socially acceptable. Second the further you go back in history the less likely someone was going to marry outside of their community because people just couldn't meet people from other communities very easily and third it was sometimes even encouraged especially when a family was in a certain social group.
The reason cousin marriages are discouraged is because if there is defective gene the chances of inbreeding that one gene is higher when you marry within a certain degree of family; if the genes are clean then there is nothing biologically wrong but in today's society most marriages below that of third cousins are considered unacceptable.

Abraham had his sister Sarah for wife and sent their son Isac go to his mothers' brothers'children for a wife .So Isac and Rebbecca were cousins. Jacob did the same. that would make the nation of Israel and the bloodlines of Christ an abomination ,if it's an abomination.However,these were gods' chosen according to the Bible

Well dang I guess we as a society should've urged that mother to kill her child in her womb. Can't have unplanned abominations running about, can we!
Long live the religion of Planned Parenthood.

All I know, is in a case like that it's not the child's fault. And yes, that would make both of the parents your second cousins.

what your father and mother have done dosent make you an abomination, nothing they do canbe counted as your fault, just cause your they're child dosnt mean that you did the sin your self, you arent held responsible for your mom and dads actions and never ever are you an abomination to god.

in a lot of western countries it's legal to marry your first cousin but it's not really really acceptable .... but it doesn't make you an abomination. on a DNA level you might be a little messed up though
the ancient egyptian royals used to marry brothers and sisters to keep the blood royal.

No. First, it's not your fault. However, remember this we are all related somehow. No one on this earth is purely one race and we all belong to the same first two humans ... Adam and Eve.

no. Cousins are legally allowed to marry, but the practice is frowned upon in western society
