Bible Question: Deuteronomy 21:15-17 says that a man who has more than one wife who he bears sons with, must recognize the first son of the first wife. My question is, what he fails to recognize the first son of the first wife at his death? What are the consequences? Is it just another sin that can be forgiven simply by asking god to forgive, or are their some long term and damming consequences? |
Bible Answer: Dear Cadish....Welcome to the Forum :-)...Old testament sins were not just forgiven for the asking. The people had to obey the law. If they broke the law they could have the sin attoned for on a special day of the year but they had to keep the law to be saved. Of course, no one could keep the law. So the consequences of this particular sin are essentially no different than the consequences of any of the sins. The consequence of sin is death. Are we not glad that we are not under the law? :-) God Bless....Jensen |
