Bible Question: where does i find it is better to place your seed in the belly of a whore than to spill it , |
Bible Answer: Genesis 38:9-10 And Onan knew that the seed should not be his; and it came to pass, when he went in unto his brother's wife, that he spilled it on the ground, lest that he should give seed to his brother. And the thing which he did displeased the LORD: wherefore he slew him also. This is the closet answer I could find to your question. Praise the Lord! Norm |
