Praze2theLord, greetings This is all about Israel. Ruth had to have been 10 generations. This is NOT about Christians. There is danger when we spiritualize and try to apply promises and penalties that aren't ours. Though most of thet time, we only take promises OUT OF CONTEXT. Searcher |

Searcher, Ruth would have been the 12th generation per Matthew 1:17. However, if it precluded the taking of wives, then we wouldn't find the reaction we see in Nehemiah 13:1 so much later.

Hey Doc, Thanks for your response. Does anyone want to take a stab at the illegitimate question? I guess I’m curious because I came out of illegitimacy and continued that “curse” by having two of my own which was B.S. (Before Salvation). Due to my own situation and my children’s, who are now grown, I’m interested in what breaks the cycle of “sin.” (That could be why I was stopped cold at those two verses (Deut. 23: 2,3)) One son has gone down that road and the other has not. Again, thanks for the comments Praze2theLord |

Hi, Praze... Jesus Christ is what breaks the cycle! See Romans 3:25; 1 Peter 4:1-6; Ephesians 2; Hebrews 9:12-15, etc. etc. Praise to the Lord, indeed! In Him, Doc PS I commend you in your persistence in reading through the Word! That is a good example for us all! |
