Leviticus really answered my question "is[was] it a sin to see your parents undressed". The nail was hit right on the head with your question regarding the harshness. The Bible doesn't say that Ham "did anything" to his father ... just that he saw him. Which brings up a question now ...why did God curse Ham's decendants? They didn't do anything wrong. And for that matter, why are we today still paying for Adam and Eve's GREAT sin ... i.e., men will work by the sweat of their brow ... women will have pain in child birth? I know God is a loving God ... but why make decendants pay for something their silly ancestors did? Aileen | ||||||

Hi Aileen you said "And for that matter, why are we today still paying for Adam and Eve's GREAT sin why make decendants pay for something their silly ancestors did?" It isn't something as simple as Adam sinning and us paying for that sin while He gets off Scott free. It cost him his intimate relationship with God and now he would start to age and eventually die. The sin was in the gaining of the knowledge of good and evil. It would be the same as saying you will sin to gain the knowledge of good and evil and the knowledge of good and evil will then cause you to sin. Having anything to do with this knowledge causes sin. This knowledge became part of his nature it was knowledge he didn't possess up until that time. Knowledge that God didn't want man to possess. God knew this knowledge could not be held within earthen vessels without further sinning therefore God forbid him this knowledge. God possessed this knowledge but God is not flesh and blood as we were created by Him. That acquired sin nature is what has been passed on to us. That perfect nature created by God was now corrupted by that knowledge. So you see it isn't as though we are just paying for that sin we have inherited the nature of Adam which was now a sin nature. That is the fall of Adam the fall from what he was created to/for to what he had become by sinning what he lost was he was created perfect and he chose to add to it corruption. But God be praised that through Jesus Christ our Lord and Savior we have been forgiven our sins and gained newness of life which is created in true Holiness and Righteousness. We have put off the old man with it's sinful nature and put on Christ. Having been reconciled to God through the blood of Christ we have come into His rest having ceased from our labors which would be our coming back to the Garden. We have had our Eternal Life restored. We will still die physically because we are still flesh and that was part of the curse. Rom 6:22 But now being made free from sin, and become servants to God, ye have your fruit unto holiness, and the end everlasting life. Gen 2:7 And the LORD God formed man of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. 1Co 15:45 And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit. 2Co 5:17 Therefore if any man be in Christ, he is a new creature: old things are passed away; behold, all things are become new. Becoming a new creature in Christ means. While we still retain all of the attributes of the flesh. At the same time we have regained the attributes of the spirit that were lost in the fall by Adam. Rom 5:12 Wherefore, as by one man sin entered into the world, and death by sin; and so death passed upon all men, for that all have sinned: Heb 2:9 But we see Jesus, who was made a little lower than the angels for the suffering of death, crowned with glory and honour; that he by the grace of God should taste death for every man. 1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, even so in Christ shall all be made alive. In Christ we are now dead to the Sin nature of man and alive to the Spirit which is of God. I am of the belief that when the time of our death comes regardless of the circumstances our death will be likened to the death of Stephen. Act 7:60 And he kneeled down, and cried with a loud voice, Lord, lay not this sin to their charge. And when he had said this, he fell asleep. Grace be unto you lightedsteps |
