It was a violation of Hebrew law, and it wasn't masturbating, it was denying his dead brother's wife a child. That's the point.Most of us today wouldn’t even feel obligated to do that if our brother died. I don’t exactly understand what point you guys are trying to make.
If we are not damned by God for masturbating then we shall surely be damned as a nation for not obligating men to screw the wife of their dead brother. I have actually heard of this happening zero times but if it did happen I imagine it would be viewed in a negative life. What is this thread about exactly? I’m triple confused.
