Bible Note: Searcher, In referrence to your post 138120, I ask: Was David buried in the same grave as his son, or did his spirit join his son's spirit in the depths of the earth, in Abraham's bosom? Were the kings of Isreal buried in a mass grave, or did they rather, as spirits, descend to either the side of comfort or the side of torment? Was Jacob buried in the same grave with his son? I think this is much better understood to mean that their spirits all went to the same place. David clearly expected to see his son again. Did Numbers 14 express a principle to be universally applied, or state a specific pronouncement agains a specific people? Romans 5 tells us that before Moses, before the Law was given, sin was not imputed. We have all sinned, but it is only imputed sin which will condemn someone to the lake of fire, the second death. The Law existed before the giving of the Law, because right is always right, and wrong is always wrong. The Law had not been communicated to the people. If a child, or my austistic nephew, is unable to understand the Law, will God then impute sin against them? He says where there is no law there is no imputed sin, and for these people, there is no Law. They still sin, and will die, but I think I will hang my hat on the words of Jesus: Luke 18:16 But Jesus called for them, saying, "Permit the children to come to Me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of God belongs to such as these."
