21 | Why does God allow mass murder? | OT general | Bauhinia | 188727 | ||
"Every Scripture is God-breathed (given by His inspiration) and profitable for instruction, for reproof and conviction of sin, for correction of error and discipline in obedience, [and] for training in righteousness." (2 Timothy 3:16) So, these accounts can show what's sinful, and discipline and correct us in righteousness. Genesis 34:1 shows that Dinah had the bad habit of associating with ungodly persons in the land of Canaan. She's raped, revealing their moral condition. Her brothers seek revenge and kill all the males by deceit. (34:25) Verses 30, 31 and 49:5-7 reveal Jacob's reaction. Incidently, God's view of the Amorites is revealed in Genesis 15:16. Onan is a single individual judged by God himself. Why? Genesis 38:8 tells us about Judah's command, as his father, to perform "brother-in-law marriage" to preserve the family line. Verses 9, 10 explain Onan's reaction to this command. (Compare Deuteronomy 25:9, 10.) He was concerned about the inheritance. So, for his diobedience, his covetousness and disrepect of the divine arrangement, he was judged worthy of death thus ending his family line, as he chose to do for Judah. |

23 | what Ester significance in the Bible? | 1 Peter | Bauhinia | 188720 | ||
Esther's significance in the Bible is mentioned in 1 Peter 3:3-5: "Your adornment must not be merely external--braiding the hair, and wearing gold jewelry, or putting on dresses; but let it be the hidden person of the heart, with the imperishable quality of a gentle and quiet spirit, which is precious in the sight of God. For in this way in former times the holy women also, who hoped in God, used to adorn themselves, being submissive to their own husbands." Hence, she's an example for Christian wives regarding subjection, for instance. |
