In Genesis 38:6-8, when Er was wicked in the sight of the Lord he was put to death. Judah then told Er's brother Onan to:
A: be careful for the Lord is righteous
B: to bury his brothers body outside Jerusalem
C: to sleep with Er's wife
D: to take Er's wife in as a servant
Have I mentioned the BrickBible?
ANSWER: C
6 Judah got a wife for Er, his firstborn, and her name was Tamar. 7 But Er, Judah’s firstborn, was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death.
8 Then Judah said to Onan, “Sleep with your brother’s wife and fulfill your duty to her as a brother-in-law to raise up offspring for your brother.”
Oh Bible, you so crazy...
PART 2:
In Genesis 38:6-10, when Judah told Er's brother Onan to sleep with Er's wife, Onan knew the child would never be his, so he:
A: declined sex
B: pulled
C: went for it
D: tested her virginity
Speechless...
ANSWER: B
9 But Onan knew that the child would not be his; so whenever he slept with his brother’s wife, he spilled his semen on the ground to keep from providing offspring for his brother.
PART 3:
In Genesis 38:6-10, when Onan refuses to try to get his dead brother's wife pregnant, god:
A: puts him to death
B: curses him with boils
C: kills his first born
D: kills Judah
Either god is omnipresent or he had a black-light
ANSWER: A
10 What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also.
Oh yahweh, you so crazy!
The reason that this story is so interesting is because its where Christanity got the idea that self love (wink wink) is a bad thing. This is it. This the only story. And it doesn't even say anything on that particular topic.
And on the seventh day he rested...
That's right. It doesn't say it will give you hairy palms or that you will go blind, but if your careless god may very well kill you for it. Couldn't we simply insist people be a bit more courteous?
