Bible Question: In Deuteronomy 23:2 it basically says that if a child is born out of marrage or by a forbidden marrage, he/she can't go to heaven nor decendants 10 generations after. Does this still apply now that we have Christ? |
Bible Answer: Please, read all of this. Hope it helps. In Psalm 8:1, "O LORD, our Lord, how majestic is your name in all the earth! You have set your glory above the heavens"; "Heavens" is plural. In Genesis 8:2 Heaven is the earth's atmosphere. "Now the springs of the deep and the floodgates of the heavens had been closed, and the rain had stopped falling from the sky." Also look at Psalm 104:12 and Daniel 4:33. Outer space is another heaven, Genesis 1:14-15 "Then God said, "Let there be lights in the firmament of the heavens to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs and seasons, and for days and years; and let them be for lights in the firmament of the heavens to give light on the earth"; and it was so." (Deuteronomy 4:19; Psalm 8:3; Isaiah 13:10; Ezekiel 32:7; Joel 2:10; Matthew 24:29) The third heaven is where God's throne exists, 2 Corinthians 12:2. (Isaiah 66:1; Revelation 4:1-6; Psaml 11:4)What did Jesus compare death to? (Matthew 9:24, Mark 5:39 and John 11:11-14) Who has ascended to heaven? John 3:13, Acts 2:29, 34 and Hebrews 11:39. Did Paul teach we would go to heaven at death? 1 Corinthians 15:20-23, 51-52 and 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17. The New Testament references to death are consistent with the Old Testament. Job 3:11, 13,17, Psalm 115:17, Ecclesiastes 3:20, Ecclesiastes 9:5 and Daniel 12:2. In 1 Peter 1:4 and Matthew 5:12 we are told our reward is in heaven. But in Revelation 22:12 we are told that when Christ returns to this earth, He will bring our reward with Him. Now for Deuteronomy 23:2 this is refereeing to Israelite citizenship. They were were denied Israelite citizenship until the family had dwelt among God's people for 10 generations. John 4:24 "Now, therefore, you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints and members of the household of God" This is made possible through the Holy Spirit. Also read Ephesians 2:19. If you notice anthing wrong or are confused please tell me. |
