Law <strong>of</strong> Retribution: God's<br />
Justice<br />
● Ancient Hebrew <strong>the</strong>ology understood any and all<br />
suffering (including <strong>the</strong> inability to have children)<br />
as a punishment for sins.<br />
● Death, illness, "bad luck", famine, drought, natural<br />
disasters, slavery, exile, barrenness, birth defects,<br />
etc. You name it, sin caused it.<br />
● If sinned caused it, <strong>the</strong> ancients believed you<br />
deserved your troubles somehow. God caused <strong>the</strong><br />
trouble to strike you, but you earned it. Your<br />
disobedience resembles that <strong>of</strong> Satan, and so you<br />
become his ally, not God's.
