It had nothing to do with Onan spilling his seed, and the verse in question had nothing to do with masturbation (and no, I am not excusing masturbation...especially as I have never engaged in it, because quite frankly it does not make sense).

Onan was supposed to marry his late brother's wife, and under the customs of that time, the first child he had with his wife would be counted as his brother's child (strange to us, but in a society with high child mortality, and a concern over keeping lineages alive...).

Onan refused to do that because (as the verses imply)...he hated his brother Er. So, out of bitterness, he denied Er THE RIGHT TO KEEP his lineage alive.

Essentially, what Onan also was doing was

1. Denying Tamar the right to have a child...in a society where barreness was a BIG STIGMA. (See how Jacob, Onan's grandpa, wife Rachel felt about having no kids...and later on Hannah. And even Sarah, Onan's great-great grandmother).

2. Essentially telling his father that he wanted both his and Er's inheritance...ie greed. If he had done what he was supposed to do, then when Judah died, his (Onan's) firstborn son would have gotten Er's portion of the inheritance. By having no kids, he gets a dobule portion.

3. Essentially commiting an injustice to his late brother and dishonoring his memory.

Thus..as the bible put it in Genesis 38 vs 8-10

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.” 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. 10 What he did was wicked in the Lord’s sight; so the Lord put him to death also

So, nothing to do with seed or with masturbation as the OP thinks it does.

At its base it is a story about how harmful greed and resentment can be. And how wickedness also can provoke resentment (Er is described as a wicked man, so it is obvious that he was wicked to his two younger brothers, breeding anger and resentment).

Namaster:
Why wouldn't he be arrogant?

He's the BIGGEST terrorist in Nigeria that SINGLEHANDEDLY destabilised an ENTIRE region.

YET 2 Presidents have FAILED to prosecute and subsequently EXEXCUTE him for his crimes.

Plus, he's getting POSITIVE attention from the media and FOOLS continue to advocate for his release.

He is a TERRORIST with fans and fanatics.
He has EVERY reason to be arrogant.

In fact, taking him to court is a WASTE of money and time.

He should have been EPSTEIN-ed a LOOONG time ago.

If society is to remain FUNCTIONAL, EVIL people must suffer SWIFT and SEVERE consequences.

Dillydallying is how a CONVICTED FELON ends up sitting behind the Resolute Desk.

If that will bring peace to the region then go ahead.

Great opportunity for Black South Africans to get their country back! US can’t afford aid anymore. With 38 trillion in debt. All this is just being used to bully country’s. Call their bluff. They will eventually have cancelled this aid anyway.

Funny creatures..

Same NATO the US uses as bouncing ball?

The question you should be asking yourself is: Who has a better ancestral claim to this said land between the JEWS and the ARABS??

A young lady has taken to social media to call out her online boyfriend after he allegedly denied responsibility for her pregnancy.

According to her, she had been in an online relationship with the man for some time before traveling to Benin, Nigeria, to visit him in the second week of November. She claimed to have spent over a month with him before returning to Lagos on December 31st.

However, upon her return, she noticed she had missed her period and was feeling unwell. After a medical check-up, she discovered she was pregnant. Excited but nervous, she informed her supposed boyfriend about the pregnancy, only to be met with outright denial.

In her words, he dismissed her claims and accused her of infidelity, telling her to "find the men she has been sleeping with" and give the pregnancy to "whoever is responsible."

Feeling betrayed and abandoned, the lady is now seeking justice, calling on netizens to warn the man and urging him to take responsibility for his actions.

You're merciless and heartless.

I am sure the teen pleaded but your criminal tendencies blocked your ears.


Not that you will use the money for anything other than Benz , clubbing and wearing those oversized hoodies and trousers.


May you pay dearly for your crimes.

Thank you Nigeria military. I recognise your sacrifice.

Trump had also announced visa sanctions and enhanced inspections on Colombians at the border

The above is what made Columbia to bend.

Most of their greedy politicians have huge assets in the Unites States.

Nobody should blame DT.The safety of security personnel and flight crew are at risk here as 80% of these depotees are drug addicts picked up in the street and you cannot regiment the addicts and allow good ones to have freedom during deportation flight. It will be a case of partiality. However, DT would have directed ICE to use cargo plane for this assignment where they would be in confinement with artificial oxygen throughout the course of the flight

While I am not a Trump supporter for reasons I made clear in this post , Trump is doing what he said he will do when he assumes office.

The bigger problem here is countries rejecting their own citizens. Imagine if you were in the position of an immigrant and you have to languish in jail in dehumanizing conditions with criminal gangs, because you have no country to go to, your country rejected you because you were "not treated with dignity" by the US.

No country should reject their own citizens. You expose them to more indignity and danger.

Remember Roe Vs wade and how the conservatives judges interpreted it. Stop letting your emotions led you

quickly:
It will end up in Supreme Court and pass.

tnerro1:
I see the Supreme Court siding with trump on a certain aspect of this case. He has said he will say in court that you can’t enter a country illegally and then give birth and claim citizenship. Like the lawyers will say, you can’t stand something on nothing. If you are in the country “ illegally “ all your actions while there will be termed as illegal. The conservatives on the Supreme Court will side with him on this.

Samogloby:
Nigeria judges should learn from their US counterpart. Stop taking order from executive or who can pay highest to secure judgement
