No wonder things were in such a mess back then. How did they ever keep track of their wives and children?

Ha! Made my youngest and one of her friends a little mad today. Even though she is an adult she is still my child.

was wrong so she did whatever. Later she moved to our town, went to school
with me my senior year. dropped out to marry. Later, marital problems, planning
to divorce husband, went to church with me, heard the gospel, baptized in Jesus
Name, received the Holy Ghost. Has served God many years.
Said all that to say, without the boundries of the law, they did not know what
sin was. Paul told the Galatians that the law was given for transgressions until
the seed (Jesus Christ) could come. Gal. 3:16
A child may do something unacceptable, but when confronted with the truth,
they are then accountable.
The law had not yet been given. Evidently not counted as wrong. After God
called Abraham to go out, and Abraham obeyed, faith in God grew and his
faith was accounted to him for righteousness. Maybe Abraham lacked some in
the righteous dept. at that time, but he believed God and God just took some of
his faith and credited or accounted it to him for righteousness.

Just some Falla thoughts anyway!
That is absolutely true Sis. Falla, and when God confronts you he does it with such love. And He often does it directly so you have no doubts of what it is. I am speaking of a child being held accountable.
