Bible Question: i,ve been told this is in the bible.I,ve looked and cannot find it.(do not cast thy sperm upon the ground,it is better to cast it in the belly of a whore than upon the ground. |
Bible Answer: Greetings Kingbass! The quote isn't quite right. I believe you are looking for the following verse. Gen. 38:9 - "But Onan knew that the offspring would not be his; so whenever he lay with his brother?s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from producing offspring for his brother. 10 What he did was wicked in the LORD?s sight; so he put him to death also." I hope this helps. Your Brother in Christ, Tim Moran |
