No, I guess it wasn't Moab's fault. Yet, the lineage of the Messiah was foretold, so Lot's incest would hardly have been a surprise to God. Would it? And, if you think about it, that would have put Lot and his daughters above God's law because they committed fornication. Yet they were blessed. Actually, in the Bible many of God's Messengers and Prophets commit sins against God's Laws..... Sending your daughter-in-law to trick a man into a situation where he must marry her is sort of well, selling her, isn't it? For 6 measures of barley.... Edited by Mishmish |

I have another question since we're on the topic of fault. Christians believe that Adam's sin was so great that all children are born into sin. Yet, you believe that Lot's sin was not that bad because his incestuous child is actually an ancestor to God in human form. If it is not Moab's fault that he was born of incest, then how can it be my fault that Adam ate from the tree of knowledge? |

Let's face it there are differences of opinion. I think it stems from the western notion that values the individual over the collective. And the more non-western one that does not. When I was visiting Pakistan a dear friend said sure you can do x, y and z, it is your choice just not out in the streets in public. No you cannot compel people to completely stop x, y and z. But there is the notion that some things are not for public domain. Sometimes strong rules are needed to place the value of group / community over the individual. It is a very different way of looking at people. Freddie: you can pick and choose individual examples of different acts or beliefs. In a sense this clash is more pronounced because the media / western governments want to continue to promote Islam as the �enemy�, and Moslems as �different.� I am not sure beside simply to be a pain why anyone would share in this effort. The world is full of different people. My friend�s father was murdered here in DC. No one mentioned the religious beliefs of the people involved. This only happens to Moslems. All people need to make an effort to not buy into this behavior. It helps no one. |

Please give me any proof that Adam committed shirk.... Ruth was a Moabite, a descendent of Moab, and an ancestor to King David a direct link to Jesus. According to Romans we all bear Adam's sin..... 5:12 Therefore, just as sin entered the world through one man, and death through sin, and in this way death came to all men, because all sinned� 5:13 for before the law was given, sin was in the world. But sin is not taken into account when there is no law. 5:14 Nevertheless, death reigned from the time of Adam to the time of Moses, even over those who did not sin by breaking a command, as did Adam, who was a pattern of the one to come. 5:15 But the gift is not like the trespass. For if the many died by the trespass of the one man, how much more did God's grace and the gift that came by the grace of the one man, Jesus Christ, overflow to the many! 5:16 Again, the gift of God is not like the result of the one man's sin: The judgment followed one sin and brought condemnation, but the gift followed many trespasses and brought justification. 5:17 For if, by the trespass of the one man, death reigned through that one man, how much more will those who receive God's abundant provision of grace and of the gift of righteousness reign in life through the one man, Jesus Christ. 5:18 Consequently, just as the result of one trespass was condemnation for all men, so also the result of one act of righteousness was justification that brings life for all men. 5:19 For just as through the disobedience of the one man the many were made sinners, so also through the obedience of the one man the many will be made righteous. 5:20 The law was added so that the trespass might increase. But where sin increased, grace increased all the more, 5:21 so that, just as sin reigned in death, so also grace might reign through righteousness to bring eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord. |

New International Translation, I believe. They all say the same thing, with little tweaks here or there, but they all say that by one man's sin all men were made sinners..... In Islam, Adam being sent from the Garden to earth was his only punishment, and Allah forgave him. In all of my many years as a Christian I was taught that men are imperfect because of Adam's sin. That Jesus had to be sacrificed to atone for this sin that we are all born into, and that is why mankind can only seek salvation through Jesus. Why else are babies baptised? They have certainly committed no sin other than birth. If this is wrong, then I know a heck of a lot of Christians who are completely misguided. It's right here in black and white from the Bible. One man made us sinners, one man took the sin away. Everyone in between actually don't have much to do or say about it, I guess.... Here is King James: 5:14 Nevertheless death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over them that had not sinned after the similitude of Adam's transgression, who is the figure of him that was to come. 5:19 For as by one man's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one shall many be made righteous. Standard English Version: 5:14 Yet death reigned from Adam to Moses, even over those whose sinning was not like the transgression of Adam, who was a type of the one who was to come. 5:19 For as by the one man's disobedience the many were made sinners, so by the one man's obedience the many will be made righteous |
