1 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217884 | ||
Had David been anointed king yet? Was there a law against polygamy? | ||||||
2 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | srbaegon | 217886 | ||
You still avoid the question. I will restate it. Is any sin of David, whether as king or prior, permissible for Christians to follow in? Steve |

3 | Should I get baptized again? | Acts | savedsince1980 | 217887 | ||
No. But, if David executed a man after he was anointed the king by Samuel, and the king made the laws, then David didn't sin. He was the law. If you can remind me of the chapter and verse I'll take a look at it. You're not talking about Uriah are you? Mark |

I was originally speaking of Nabal and Abigail, then extended it to Uriah and Bathsheba. But you have sufficiently answered my question enough to point out your error. The king was in a position to make laws concerning the civil administration of God's laws, but he could never supersede them. David wrongly had Uriah killed in order to cover up adultery. God confronted him through the prophet Nathan for both sins (2 Samuel 12:1-15). David then goes through a period of repentance and grieving for it (2 Samuel 12:16-23; Psalm 51). That being the case, we cannot follow David's example in this great sin though it is recorded in God's word. Steve |

Agreed. But, the narrative says that. I doubt anybody would follow that example given the outcome. Mark |

True, most would not follow given the consequences, but that is missing the point. David should never have committed those acts because they were of a sinful nature. They were contrary to God's desire. David explicitly says so in Psalm 51:3-4 3 For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 4 Against you, you only, have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight, so that you may be justified in your words and blameless in your judgment. David cries out for mercy, because he knows the sins he committed were flagrant, and there was no sacrifice that could be offered to atone for them (see Leviticus). He was guilty beyond hope according to God's law, so he had to go to the righteous judge of heaven and earth and throw himself on the mercy of the court. Steve |
