31 One day the older daughter said to the younger, “Our father is old, and there is no man around here to give us children—as is the custom all over the earth. 32 Let’s get our father to drink wine and then sleep with him and preserve our family line through our father.”
33 That night they got their father to drink wine, and the older daughter went in and slept with him. He was not aware of it when she lay down or when she got up.
34 The next day the older daughter said to the younger, “Last night I slept with my father. Let’s get him to drink wine again tonight, and you go in and sleep with him so we can preserve our family line through our father.”
Okay Christians, explain away.
Dear Mental Outlaw
if you are a secular gentile you are under natural laws.
leave the scriptural laws to those believers who are called to answer to them.
If you are not one this is not your jurisdiction.
in short the OT is about living by the letter of the
law and the NT is about living by the spirit of the laws
so the OT is full of the tragic history of humanity corrupting the law
by greed for power, and this is a warning this path leads to death
and destruction. this way does not work. the Retributive Justice approach by enforcing laws by judgment rejection and punishment. doesn't work.
the NT is about restoring the spirit of the laws based on love
of truth justice and peace, or the Holy Trinity in secular terms.
Restorative Justice is the meaning and message of Christ Jesus in the Bible.
you can study and look this up and understand using
secular terms of how restorative justice works and
transforms lives and relationships to heal from wrongs
and break the cycle of retribution and abuses form the past.
so you can do this as a secular gentile using natural
laws adn the same spirit of Restorative Justice fulfills
those as Christ Jesus is taught as fulfilling the laws in the Bible.
one is the sacred laws of the church for believers to hold eachother to
one is the natural laws of the secular state for gentiles to hold ourselves to
equal justice under law fulfills both paths
but one path using religious terms and scripture
while gentiles use secular terms civil laws and science to enforce laws of nature
