Bible Question:
Thank you Doc for your response. I know that Onan was not a Levite. "Levirate" refers to the marriage of a man with the widow of his deceased brother, which Onan was instructed to enter into by his dad in Gen 38:8. Now that you know this, would your reply still be the same? It could posssibly be argued that Onan's sin might have been not to consummate the marriage with Thamar by spilling his seed thereby trying to "kill off" the bloodline from which the Saviour was to be born? Yours in Christ NIC1 |
Bible Answer: Ah... okay... makes better sense, then. :-) Thank you for correcting my misunderstanding. Plus, I learned a new word. :-) Why questions are always difficult. If the Scripture does not give us an answer, we can only speculate. Speculation tends to get us into trouble. I'd rather stand on the firmer ground that does not call for speculation. |
