Unless you prove your laughable claims you are a liar - now go prove that God killed that guy, or anyone else for that matter: to the criminal standard - beyond reasonable doubt, go on give it a go, liar!Originally posted by ChicoComment

Churchill - In "Chico cut and pasting of tulipe" mode!Heaven's justice again presents a problem. Onan dies at the hands of God supposedly because he is disloyal to his dead brother, Er, for refusing to give Tamar conception. By any assessment, however, a penalty of death for such an offence is wholly inappropriate. The penalty, in fact, has been determined by the storyteller's aim to make Judah pay in kind, loss of a son, for causing the loss of Joseph.25) 18
In his levirate rule the Deuteronomic lawgiver took up from the story of Tamar the problem of a man like Onan who refuses to impregnate his dead brother's widow and raise a male child to him (Deut. 25.5-10).26) Opposed no doubt to the extreme punishment he found in the legend, the lawgiver sought instead to devise a more apt penalty for an offence like Onan's. In working out a sanction the lawgiver has the widow play a remarkable role. She publicly disgraces her brother-in-law by likening him to Onan. This is the meaning of the ceremony whereby she removes his shoe from his foot and spits in his face. The removal symbolizes withdrawal from intercourse--similar to Onan's withdrawal from Tamar--and the spitting symolizes the emission of seed--similar to Onan's action with his seed. It is the only rule in the Bible where the sanction consists of public disgrace.Comment

Chico, have you ever had sex?The court heard Darren Upton had written a letter to Judge Sally Cahill QC saying he wasn’t “a typical inmate of prison”.
But the judge said: “That simply demonstrates your arrogance continues. You are typical. Inmates of prison are people who are dishonest. You are a thoroughly dishonestly man motivated by your own selfish greed.”Comment

Wrong answer. If Genesis is allegorical then whats the point? It would make no sense. However if it is literal truth then you better start repenting because you are going to be held to account for the way you have lived you life. Anyway back to to the Onan and Er situation. Out of interest which of the sons of Jacob's would the eventual Messiah be descended from?Originally posted by ChurchillSola gratia
