1 | When ever you want to | Ex 21:10 | jlpangilinan | 102753 | ||
it is not a common custom to have sex out of marriage or having more than one wives anyone in OT. it is the heart of the people hard and always wanting to do that. For example God prohibit even to eat the fruit of forbidden tree but it happened. God even in OT want God the person to have only one wife: Ge 2:24 Therefore shall a man leave his father and his mother, and shall cleave unto his wife: and they shall be one flesh. "and shall cleave unto his wife" not unto his wives "and they shall be one flesh" the two shall be one flesh, and four wives will be "one flesh" David was punished because of his immoral relationship with bathseba, his son was died and even david ready to accept if the Lord will take his life. It means it is not really a common to have immoral life. 2Sa 12:13 And David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die. God forgive david when he repent. Christ said that having more than one wives is not a custom even in OT: Mt 19:7 They say unto him, Why did Moses then command to give a writing of divorcement, and to put her away? Mt 19:8 He saith unto them, Moses because of the hardness of your hearts suffered you to put away your wives: but from the beginning it was not so. Will see that because of the "hardness of thier heart" moses done a writing of law in divorcement. But in the beginning it was not so. Why it is because it so serious of NT? because it is the law of Christ, and Christ want us to leave in Holiness. 1Th 4:7 For God hath not called us unto uncleanness, but unto holiness. As He said He made a new covenant for us not according to thier fathers: Heb 8:9 Not according to the covenant that I made with their fathers in the day when I took them by the hand to lead them out of the land of Egypt; because they continued not in my covenant, and I regarded them not, saith the Lord. God bless, |

You make a good point. I agree that it was because of the hardness of the heart that these things were done, as is the case with most, if not all sin. I still have a problem with the frequency that we see acts of sex outside of marriage in the O.T. We never read in the N.T. that Paul was going down the road to Colosse or some place and stopped off by the way because he saw some woman on the side of the road. I think maybe the difference could be the presence of the indwelling of the Holy Spirit in the N.T. wdc |
