NASB | Romans 5:13 for until the Law sin was in the world, but sin is not imputed when there is no law. |
AMPLIFIED 2015 | Romans 5:13 Sin was [committed] in the world before the Law [was given], but sin is not charged [against anyone] when there is no law [against it]. |
Bible Question: why was there no law during that time, from Adam to Moses? Why did God allow people to live during that period unaccountable to their sins? Why did God wait so long to put a law? Where did those people go at death? I am assuming to hell, these are the ones Jesus went to release after He raised from death? |
Bible Answer: buffy1 - May I offer you (and all other SBF questioners) a simple formula for asking a question? When the answer to a question is not known, no part of it should be assumed. Your first question in the battery of questions in your post provides a good example. You ask, "Why was there no law during the time from Adam to Moses?" You are assuming that there was no law and asking why was this so. But would you on examination be able to prove your assumption that there was no law during this period of history? Better to ask, "Was there a law during the time between Adam and Moses?" It must be established that there was no law before asking why there wasn't one. If the questioner has not established that there was no law, asking why there was no law doesn't make sense; it runs into a dead end and becomes a moot question. Questions based on assumptions or preconceived ideas are not good questions. They are in fact more closely akin to statements of opinion than honest questions seeking information. ...... The formula is simple. Ask a question, but make sure it is only a question, not a question freighted with such extra baggage as assumptions, preconceived notions, opinions or declarations. --Hank |
