Well, that sure was interesting! hehe I have a thought on the sin of Onan and Jesus' response. Could this be a case such as when the Pharisees were so worried about straining the gnats? Jesus didn't necessarily tell them to keep straining gnats or to stop. He just told them that they were focusing too much on the minute details and missing the point of the story. I Onan's case, might it not be so much the spilling of seed or not doing his brother's wife as much as it is someone does a detestable act before God and is severely punished? And could death just be a metaphor? Spiritual death or separation from God? (I realize it said he actually died) It is my thought that Jesus wasn't so much into removing rules as much as seeing the reasons behind them and applying the underlying thoughts to your life with Him. Way off base?
