Quote by: phoenix_fire  Well, the scriptural backing in this sitch is a little flawed anyway. I think that God was most angry with Onan for disobeying his father and for his selfishness in not caring about the well-being of his sister-in-law. The law was in place about giving the wife of a deceased brother a son because it was the most efficient form of social welfare they had. A widowed woman with no sons would not be able to provide for herself in her old age, so the best thing that could be done for her would be to provide a son to her that would be bound by law and honor to make sure that she didn't end up homeless and starving to death. |
yes.
also, i think that your signature is a bit decieving, taking verses out of their context.
