Subject: Why did God tell Abraham to kill his son |
Bible Note: You tell me. You made the statement: “The bible says where there is no law there is no sin. Just based on that Even if Abraham had Killed his son as you have stated. That act would not have been sin, based on the grounds that there was not at that time, any law about killing, murder, etc.” You were then asked: “What do you make of God's punishment of Cain then?” Your answer was that you didn’t want to speculate. But if murder wasn’t a sin as you say and God punished Cain for murdering his brother, then your logic leads me to believe God is an unjust God which you and I both know isn’t true. And if there was no sin, how could it be couching at the door? Genesis 4:7 If you do well, will you not be accepted? And if you do not do well, sin is crouching at the door. Its desire is for you, but you must rule over it." So you tell me just who is misrepresenting? If you plan on responding to this post, please answer why God punished Cain if murder was not sin. Stand in His grace, WOS |
