Question

The sins of the father

ISA 14:21 Prepare slaughter for his children for the iniquity of their fathers; that they do not rise, nor possess the land, nor fill the face of the world with cities.

DEU 24:16 The fathers shall not be put to death for the children, neither shall the children be put to death for the fathers: every man shall be put to death for his own sin.

that's one out of thousands.

Nikki you're as blind as a bat.

so why dont you explain this contradiction??

Susan J so it's NOT THE WORD OF GOD!!

well that's what i've been trying to say.

Answer 1

So you have read the Bible!
Those 2 quotes were written by 2 different people and no 2 people have the same views

God Bless You

Answer 2

first off, start at the beggining, you lost your context, just as all do who try to claim they found a contradiction.

Deu.24:16 is talking about physical laws, like the ones that police enforce, or government. go back and start at the begging of the chapter.
Isa 14:21 is talking about the destruction of Babylon for the iniquities it commited. not physical laws, but the attempt to do the same thing you are doing. they will pay for trying to keep people from believing in God.This is part of the prophecy, so this is something we still haven't seen yet, which also Babylon is the city organized by Satan.

Answer 3

There requires a lot more than handpicking quotes when looking through the Bible. You have to understand who wrote which book, who was the audience addressed, and what exactly was the subject matter.

The Deu refers to the audience of Jews and the ISA one refers to a king being addressed. This is on top of my head, with a slight doubt on ISA.

The NT in the Bible is trickier if you don't understand what group was being addressed by Paul.

No Christian should take a quote and slam others with it either. The context before, after, and behind the scenes is important for reconciliation.

Answer 4

Here is the fundamental problem with challenging the Bible in your case: if you are not a true believer in the Bible and of the Savior Jesus Christ, then the things that are written in the Bible will never make sense to you. It takes the indwelling of the Holy Spirit of God in order for you to fully understand the contents of the Word of God.

This is why you find these things to be contradictory, when they are studied carefully and researched properly and not taken out of context as the Bible always is by unbelievers such as yourself, they will be seen to be two totally different records of two totally different events in the Bible.

Don't be such a fool to think that you will understand the Bible on your own. You won't. You & I, all of us need the indwelling of the Holy Spirit for the things of the Bible to make real sense to us.

You see, you and I are carnal, and my God is eternal. This means that you & I are not on the same level as God (even though I am sure you'd like to think you were) and will not understand His Words without Him revealing it to us. (Luke 24:45; Romans 3:11; Psalm 14, 53; 1 Corinthians 2:14)

You need the Lord, then you will see and understand that there are no contradictions or fallacies held within the pages of God's Word.

Answer 5

THE DEVIL WEARS A PINK SHIRT!

Is: 14:21 is describing satan and the horde of the wicked and the children and the "iniquity or wickedness" of their fathers.

Deu- here, he is handing down the law to the Hebrews while they roamed in the wildrness. He states exactly what you post.

I get a kick out of all that try and find contradictions in scripture, but never reveal the verses ahead of the ones they choose. They prove even further the non-contrsadictiveness of the bible.

He must have had a heart attack or something.

Answer 6

while you're finding for the certainty and function not discovered it after various readings of the Bible, then you definately could examine it back and back till it speaks to you. Luk 8:8 And different fell on stable floor, and sprang up, and bare fruit a hundredfold. And whilst he had pronounced those issues, he cried, He that hath ears to take heed to, permit him hear. Rom 10:17 So then faith cometh via listening to, and listening to via the comprehend God. a million. Gen a million:25-26 vs Gen 2:18-20 that's not a contradiction, the 1st financial ruin of Genesis provides a precis of His creation on a daily foundation whilst the 2nd financial ruin is going into the creation in greater element. additionally it truly is taken into consideration necessary recognize that merely because of the fact issues look in a undeniable order in the Bible, it does not unavoidably stick to that they are in cronological order. in spite of the fact that the beast's creation are reported first in financial ruin a million it does not state that they have got been created first. yet financial ruin 2 is greater definative and clearly states that guy replaced into created earlier the beasts; "it truly is not stable that the guy could be on my own" 2. Exo 20:13 vs Exo 32:27 The be conscious “kill” is translated from the Hebrew be conscious ra?tsach meaning specially, to homicide (or to kill the harmless), however the be conscious “slay” as used in Exo 32:27 replaced into translated from the Hebrew be conscious ha^rag, which has an identical meaning yet is used in this context for the slaughtering of the in charge. No contradiction here. 3. Acts 9:7 vs Acts 22:9 vs Acts 26:14 This additionally isn't a contradiction; there's no textile difference between those 3 debts, each and each made via Paul. the 1st describes the relatively adventure the different debts describe him explaining the form to others. In Acts 9:7 those with him heard a voice (or the sound of a voice, a noise). it truly is obvious from Acts 22:9 that they observed additionally the easy yet weren't waiting to tell apart the spoken words. To sort Paul a liar in this foundation is a falsehood. As for the Apostles pondering Paul’s preaching, a falsehood. i'm conscious that the Apostles have been careful of Paul on the start and that Peter defined Pauls teachings as puzzling to comprehend, yet i don't have faith they accused Paul of fake preaching. 4. Isa 14:21 vs Deu 24:sixteen In Deu 24:sixteen Moses is talking of the regulations via which the Israelites have been to habit themselves while Isa 14:21 is talking of the destruction of evil.

Answer 7

It was not the right of the HUMAN courts to exact capital punishment from the children of guilty parents if the children were not personally guilty of the crime. However, that which restricts the power of human courts does not restrict the right or authority of God. Also Isa. is a punishment of a nation and the nations punishment was ruin. The children were not punished for what their fathers did. The children were not punished, the nation was punished. No contradiction.

Answer 8

I cannot be put to death for the sin of my father
My father cannot be put to death for my sin
only the sinner can be put to death for his/her sin

But . . . because of the choice my father might make . . . I may live in great iniquity or hardship or downright unjust and unfairness.

But

I will not raise my head in Hell because of what my father did . . . I will not raise my head in Heaven because of what my father did . . . I will be held responsible to my own faith actions.

(you know . . . we get most of our present day law from the Bible)

PS I do believe the ISA. refrence and the DEU. refrence have not ONE thing in comman, other than they are from books in the Bible. The Questioner thought he was smart . . . but he has no idea what context these verses have to one another.
DEU: from the law handed down to Isreal (i.e. this is how you govern . . .) ISA: from the phophet; explaining what was going to happen and why (Isreal was about to experience judgment)

Answer 9

Huh? Where's the contradiction? Did you read these verses in context or just pick them out at random because their contexts are not the same therefore they are not in conflict. It's easy to make the Bible say what you want it to say if you don't bother to read the entire chapter and consider the historical, cultural, and audience background of the passage in question. Please, don't be so quick to claim the book has contradictions if you insist on taking verses out of context.

Answer 10

You are making the classic mistake of taking things our of context. Deuteronomy 24:16 is a law given to the Jews about how they are supposed to act among their own people and those living among them. Isaiah is a prophecy of what will happen to Babylon, what God and his people will do to them. They are not protected by Jewish law because they are now part of Israel. Furthermore, even if they were protected by Jewish law it would still not be a contradiction because this is saying what WILL happen and not making a commandment about what SHOULD happen.

Answer 11

Read the Bible : the second answer shows the merciful God who I think replied to Moses who was pleading with God for mercy by not
taking it out on the offspring of sinful parents.

The first answer shows God's fury over sin. The Bible however states "the fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom". Let us pray for wisdom for the coming of these days.
