What is the morel value of this story?

Question

You will also see examples of Prophets sleeping with their neighbor's wives, such as the following:

David watches a women bathe, likes what he sees, and "goes in unto her." Let us look at 2 Samuel 11:2-4 "One evening David got up from his bed and walked around on the roof of the palace. From the roof he saw a woman bathing. The woman was very beautiful, and David sent someone to find out about her. The man said, 'Isn't this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam and the wife of Uriah the Hittite?' Then David sent messengers to get her. She came to him, and he slept with her. (She had purified herself from her uncleanness.) Then she went back home." This Holy Figure in the Bible is a pervert!.

So what happened to "If a man commits adultery with another man's wife--with the wife of his neighbor--both the adulterer and the adulteress must be put to death. (From the NIV Bible, Leviticus 20:10)"????

How come Leviticus 20:10 was compromised in the Bible and was never applied to King David?! Didn't King David know about this law? Yet, the Jews use his star as their holy symbol; the David Star, and the Christians call Jesus his son; "Son of David".

Answer 1

That only makes the bible more authentic. The other Holy scriptures for the other religions simply take their prophets and spiritual leaders and turn them into mythical perfect beings with no wrong. The bible is honest about it's characters. David committed murder. Peter denied the faith. Paul murdered christians before he was converted on the road to damascus. Moses killed an egyptian in a fight before he fled to Midia. Solomon was an adulterer. Simon the zealot(one of jesus's diciples was a jewish terrorist before he converted). Mathew the diciple was a tax collector(generally corrupt people in those days) before he converted. Mark, on his first missionary trip with Paul and Barnabus, chickened out when their adversaries started to get violent and went home. I could go on and on. This shows 2 things if not more. First of all it shows that the bible is not myth. It is authentic history. These are real characters with faults and the bible doesn't hide them. If you read the 4 gospels carefully(which I'm sure you've never done) you will really come to the conclusion that Jesus picked 11 knuckleheads. These guys were not Phi Beta Kappa. The smartest one was the 12th man, Judas Iscariot. He was street smart and quite crooked. He was never a true convert. Yet, starting with these knucleheads and branching out with converts, christianity took over the roman empire in less than 3 centuries. That just shows that these guys were not doing this in their own strength and intelligence but with the power of the Holy Spirit.
Secondly, it shows that The Lord uses anyone who will totally turn his life over to Christ. You don't have to be brilliant and you don't have to be talented because it's the power of the Holy Spirit that is doing the work, not you.
1 Corinthians 1:26-29 says:
26 "Brothers, think of what you were when you were called. Not many of you were wise by human standards; not many were influential; not many were of noble birth.
27 But God chose the foolish things of the world to shame the wise; God chose the weak things of the world to shame the strong.
28 He chose the lowly things of this world and the despised things—and the things that are not—to nullify the things that are,
29 so that no-one may boast before him".
I'm sure you're saying "amen to that brother....you christians are a bunch of morons". I have no problem with that. I HATE POLITICAL CORRECTNESS. I would rather give you the freedom to call me a moron as long as I have the right to say what I want to say without somebody telling me what I can say and what I can't say even though I have no intention of calling anybody any names.
The Lord doesn't tell us "clean up your act and then come to Me". He says "come to Me first and let Me clean up your act. You can't do it in your own strength".Jesus says in Mathew 11:28-30 says
28 "Come to me, all you who are weary and burdened, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you and learn from me, for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls.
30 For my yoke is easy and my burden is light."
Psalms 103:13,14 says:
13 As a father has compassion on his children, so the LORD has compassion on those who fear him;
14 for he knows how we are formed, he remembers that we are dust.
As far as David is concerned, You obviously have never thoroughly studied the life of David as it is given, not only in 1&2 Samuel but in bits and pieces all through the bible. David was a rising star until he committed that sin. His life went downhill from that point on and he never recovered. He spent most of the rest of his life on the run. He lost the kingdom temporarily. His own son absalom tried to kill him and then was killed in the process.
There was violence among his other sons and grandchildren and eventually after solomons days the kingdom was divided. David payed more through trouble in his entire life than he could have ever have payed if God would just have executed him for that first sin after he repented and taken him to heaven. Yes, murder doesn't automatically send you to hell. What sends you to hell is not accepting the only payment for your sins that Jesus payed for on the cross. That death on the cross payed for all sins of those who accept it, even the ones before the cross. Those people just looked ahead to the coming Messiah(who was Jesus) for their final atonement for their sins(the ones that did accept it...and not all did). We look back to him as our Messiah(again, the ones who accept it...and not all do).
But you say, "but God said in Leviticus 20:10 that the adulterers must die". Yes, that was the general rule and that was the way it was to be enforced(in general). God made an exception with David and with Bathsheba. You say "are you saying that God changed his mind"? I'm saying that God has a perfectly Holy, Righteous and Just nature which he can never violate. His laws in the old testament and the new testament come from that Holy, Righteous and Just nature. God could never say that adultery is wrong but in this one case it was OK. Nowhere does it ever say that. As I said, it wasn't OK. David paid severly for that sin. God never said it was OK. In this particular case, God just handled it differently.
God can never go against His Nature but he can suspend the laws that come out of that nature as long as he punishes the guilty in another way. People who argue that God can never act in a different way in certain circumstances because of his moral laws are like the people who say that God cannot perform miracles because of his physical laws that he has set out there to rule the universe. A miracle would be breaking a physical law even if it was just one time. God can't do that(or so they say). To say that God has to be obedient to his physical laws is like saying that God built a jailcell from the inside out. He built the walls around him and the roof and the floor. Then he closed the door, locked the gate and threw the keys outside. Now he's locked in his own creation. That would be stupid. Is God stupid? God can break his physical laws anytime he wants(these are called miracles) and he can break his moral laws, as far as the stated punishment for the broken law as long as there is a sufficient alternative punishment. God did that in Davids case. God is still the sovereign of the universe. He still rules the universe. He has not given that up because of his physical or his moral laws.
Maybe you'll vote me the best answer for this question? But then again (since your whole life seems to be spent trying to disprove the bible)

I DON'T THINK SO

Answer 2

Hi Shadowofe...

Here is the rest of the story....David was not a Prophet... David was a King...David sined...David beged God to forgive him. David was forgiven. David is going to be King in God's kingdom....God said that David is a man after His own heart....Your just looking for things to ***** about. I think that you are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father you will do.

Answer 3

Easy question. No one knew about it. The prophet Nathan was instructed by God to confront David about it.

David confessed his sin and accepted the punishment from God.

Answer 4

you are absolutely correct in what you have written....

however, you need to followup with the punishment that king david received. look at the hiding and such, after this.

king david was the annointed of God, the chosen leader and the hero of his people. king david was also a "man" who had faults.

shadowofears,
Before the age of the Church, some were imparted with grace. David was lucky that he was king! Keep reading. David is faced with havoc because of his sin.

Whom He loves, He chastens!

Answer 6

u ought to examine Ezekiel 23 23:20 There she lusted after her enthusiasts, whose genitals (penises) were like those of donkeys and whose emission (sperm) change into like that of horses. i imagine u were given the dirty favourite version per chance.
