Deuteronomy 23:2 says that bastards can not attend church unto the tenth generation?

Question

. If Jesus was spawned by Mary and Jehovah as the Bible claims then he is technically a bastard and should not be the leader of the church.

Answer 1

This question is unabased anti-God nonsense.

Since the Almighty is the divine Originator of both marriage and the Mosaic Law, then His divine Will determines the correct understanding of both.

(Deuteronomy 23:2) No illegitimate son may come into the congregation of Jehovah. Even to the tenth generation . . .

(1 Timothy 6:3-5) If any man teaches other doctrine and does not assent to healthful words, those of our Lord Jesus Christ, nor to the teaching that accords with godly devotion, he is puffed up with pride, not understanding anything, but being mentally diseased over questionings and debates about words. From these things spring envy, strife, abusive speeches, wicked suspicions, violent disputes about trifles on the part of men corrupted in mind and despoiled of the truth

Answer 2

Deuteronomy 23:2 (New International Version)
New International Version (NIV)
Copyright © 1973, 1978, 1984 by International Bible Society

“No illegitimate son may come into the congregation of Jehovah. Even to the tenth generation none of his may come into the congregation of Jehovah

2 No one born of a forbidden marriage [a] nor any of his descendants may enter the assembly of the LORD, even down to the tenth generation.

Jesus was born perfect threw the immaculate conception. The terminology you are using is not only incorrect but blasphemes to say the least.

Answer 3

And the reason the bastards couldn't attend church unto the tenth generation................

Deuteronomy 23: 4 Because they met you not with bread and with water in the way, when ye came forth out of Egypt; and because they hired against thee Balaam the son of Beor of Pethor of Mesopotamia, to curse thee.

We can make the bible confusing when we take one or two verses and try to make sense of the whole bible with just a few verses taken out of context.

Answer 4

As the Bible puts it, Jesus was not 'spawned'.

Deut. 23:2 sure kept fornication down when the Jews was told it would affect others.
If fornication was committed, and pregnancy followed the couple could marry and the child would then be legitimate. That was the way out of their sin.

A little more Bible reading would have shown that to you Guy.

1. There was NO church in the Old Testament you are mistranslating it for your own purposes SHAME ON YOU!
2. Christians are under the New Testament rules



Many Christians are perplexed when they confront the issue of the Mosaic Law. How binding is the Law on the Christian? Some have said that Jesus abolished the Law of Moses. I would have to disagree, based on the following passage spoken by Jesus Himself:

Think not that I am come to destroy the law, or the prophets: I am not come to destroy, but to fulfil. (Matthew 5:17)
Some have suggested that by "fulfil," Jesus meant "abolish." Indeed, "abolish" is one meaning of "fulfil," but it is also the only meaning of "destroy." So if He had meant "abolish," He might as well have said, "I am not come to abolish, but to abolish." We can assume, therefore, that Jesus meant, "to develop the full potentialities of" when He said "fulfil."

So why then do Christians not observe the Mosaic Law? The answer is that they do observe parts, but not all of it. Some parts of the Law were meant to be temporary, while others were intended to be permanent. This is seen in the fact that before Moses, the ancient Jews were not bound to the ritual commands (except circumcision). If the Mosaic Law was not meant to be temporary, then either God changes or the God of the righteous men and women before Moses was a different god. But this is absurd. We know that the God of Abraham was the God of Moses, and that He is our God today. The coming of Christ made parts of the Mosaic law unnecessary.


In order to understand this, we must realize that the Law is made up of three parts: ceremonial, civil, and moral.


The ceremonial law related specifically to Israel's worship. Since its primary purpose was to point to the coming Savior, Jesus made it unnecessary. He did not abolish it, in the sense of destroying it; He fulfilled it. Nowhere do we read that Jesus thought that the ceremonial law was wrong. The principles behind the ceremonial law are still applicable to us today, that is, the principles of worshipping and serving a holy God.


The civil law prescribed rules for the Israelites' daily living. These laws separated the Jews from the Gentiles, and gave the Gentiles the example of how a holy people should live. Since much was given to the Jews, much was expected. But God gave a new covenant in Christ, and there is now no distinction to be made between Jew and Gentile. We are still to follow the requirements of this law as God's people, but the punishments are not for any nation to impose on its people, because we are no longer separated by nations but by God's grace (Christians and non-Christians).


The moral law is basically the Ten Commandments. We are still bound by these laws, not for salvation, but to live a holy life. Jesus not only desired that His followers adhere to these commandments, He wished that they would go above and beyond them. He said, "Ye have heard that it was said by them of old time, Thou shalt not kill; and whosoever shall kill shall be in danger of the judgment: but I say unto you, That whosoever is angry with his brother without a cause shall be in danger of the judgment..." He desired not only an outward observance of these laws, but an inward observance as well.


So we see that the parts of the Law that have been rendered obsolete are those that contain ordinances. An ordinance is either a memorial of something that has already passed or a type of something in the future. The Old Testament laws containing ordinances were not meant to be permanent. There are no ordinances in the Ten Commandment Law.


Now, we must remember that following rules and regulations will not get us into heaven. It is only through the blood of Jesus that we can see heaven. But if we love Him, we will keep His commandments.

hey Mr. though i am a muslim but i do believe on prophets sent on earth by almighty God. u dont ve any right to use such words for Jesus and for any one. u should say sorry to all christians as well as to muslims. even now if i try to explain all the truth about mary and jesus u wont believe. coz your heart and mind both are blocked and blind. so no use of any debat or speech here. but i must say i wish you see God and HIS powers some day and then u realise how wrong u were about HIM.

Answer 7

We are no longer under the 622 points of the law, but under the dispensation of grace. Jesus came to free us from the law. A Christian is not subject to this rule. Jesus loves you.
