1 | Harmony between two thoughts. Joshua 7 | Josh 7:1 | DUDUTJ | 211852 | ||
The Bible says about Achan in Joshua cap. 7. All Israel suffered God's wrath because of the fault of one guy, and it says that 'the sin of Achan is the sin of all Israel'. But also the bible says that the father or mother must not be blamed because of the sin of a son or daughter; because everyone must asnwer his own mistake. How could I (as a christian) agree these two thoughts? Is right for God to blame all the innocent people because of a mistake of one only man? | ||||||
2 | Harmony between two thoughts. Joshua 7 | Josh 7:1 | Rolff | 211853 | ||
You are thinking as a western civilization person. I can't for the life of me understand why because the king died the country ran and lost the battle. After all it wasn't me and sorry it was him not me, but why loose the battle over one man no matter what his title. This story is in the history books of the Bible. In the Old Testament and to a great degree today in Asia it is group mentality. When one dies, all is lost. The group pays for the sin of the individual. Your question assumes they were inocent, there is nothing either way to assume Achan's doomed relatives were guilty or inocent. If my wife brings something large like a brick of gold and a closet full of clothes into the house, I and my children would know. These relatives proably knew about the sin and did nothing to expose the sin after all they were rich while the gold was under the floor. We as individuals are not to punish the children for the parents sin. It is a different perspective. Something to chew on while I run to church this fine California morning. |
