As we know, David, King of Israel had his eye on a chick he saw across the street taking a bath. Her name was Bathsheba, and her husband, Uriah was in David's(thus God's) army. David wanted this chick so he sent Uriah to the front of whatever war they were fighting at the time, hoping he would be killed in battle. He was. So now, David has free rein to go after Bathsheba. Funny that she didn't object, since her husband just got killed, but anyway, she and David get pregnant. To prove His power, and to show that David and Bathsheba sinned, God decided to kill their child as punishment.
Now, I have heard of people who stalk others and kill their pets, or family members because of some mental instability, usually because they are spurned or ignored by their quarry. What I want to know is this. this God of love, who kills children to punish their parents, is He okay? Or does he need psychiatric counselling followed by a lengthy stay in a penal environment?
