Subject: Cain and Seth's wives descended from who |
Bible Note: Hi Kalos the laws were in place and we can see this in the following scriptures. 1) Gen.26:5 Because that Abraham obeyed my voice, and kept my charge, my commandments, my statutes, and my laws. 2)Ex.15:26 And said, If thou wilt diligently hearken to the voice of the LORD thy God, and wilt do that which is right in his sight, and wilt give ear to his commandments, and keep all his statutes, I will put none of these diseases upon thee, which I have brought upon the Egyptians: for I am the LORD that healeth thee. 3)Ex.16:26-28 28And the LORD said unto Moses, How long refuse ye to keep my commandments and my laws? 29See, for that the LORD hath given you the Sabbath, therefore he giveth you on the sixth day the bread of two days; abide ye every man in his place, let no man go out of his place on the seventh day. 4)Gen.4:7 If thou doest well, shalt thou not be accepted? and if thou doest not well, sin lieth at the door. And unto thee shall be his desire, and thou shalt rule over him. 5)Gen.13:13 But the men of Sodom were wicked and sinners before the LORD exceedingly. Jude:7 7Even as Sodom and Gomorrha, and the cities about them in like manner, giving themselves over to fornication, and going after strange flesh, are set forth for an example, suffering the vengeance of eternal fire. 6)Gen.39:9 There is none greater in this house than I; neither hath he kept back any thing from me but thee, because thou art his wife: how then can I do this great wickedness, and sin against God? 1)2)These commandments laws and statutes were before the law at Sinai. 3) The law of the Sabbath was before the laws at Sinai, here is one that was repeated is this also redundant? 4)Why was Cain punished for killing Abel if the commandment thou shalt not kill was not in effect? 5)Why was Sodom and Gomorrha punished for fornication,and going after strange flesh if the laws were not in effect? 6Why did Joseph say to sleep with this married woman was a sin against God if the commandment thou shalt not commit adultery was not known to him? There are more but I think you can see were I am coming from , from these few I have quoted. The reason why they may have been written down at Sinai could be so that man would not forget or say they did not know this was one of Gods commandments. Also were they not given twice at Sinai?Was it redundant of God to have to give them twice because man is so slow to learn? |
