Bible Note: Dear Kcam: In regard to Number 14:18 reading the entire chapter I find that the context shows that the guilty are not believers, not saved, not counted righteous as Hebrews says. Num.14:18 (New American Standard Bible) 18- 'The LORD is slow to anger and abundant in lovingkindness, forgiving iniquity and transgression; :-(but He will by no means clear the guilty,)-: visiting the iniquity of the fathers on the children to the third and the fourth generations.' The Lord himself says that these people except for Joshua and Caleb were unbelievers. Moses interceded for them and the Lord did not wipe them out but he did not allow them to enter the land. They wandered forty years in the desert. Numbers 14:1-28 Look at the words rebellious, grumbling, unbelievers, rejecting the Lord. Relate Exodus 34:6-7 to 20:5-6. God had told the sons of Israel not to worship or serve idols because He is a jealous God, visiting the father’s iniquity on the children, on the third and fourth generations of those who hate Him, but showing lovingkindness to thousands who love Him and keep His commandments. The Lord’s mercy would extend even more to the descendants of righteous people. The contrasting of the phrases “third and fourth” (v. 5) with thousands demonstrates that God’s mercy is greater than His wrath. The lingering effects of righteousness will last far longer than the lingering effects of wickedness.” – The Nelson Study Bible "but each man/women was held responsible for their choices and decisions" Can you verify this statement with scripture? Deuteronomy 24:16, says that everyone is put to death for his own sin. Sorry for the wrong chapter Psalms 52; it is Psalms 32:5 Psalm 32, a wisdom psalm, is also one of the great penitential psalms. It is generally believed that this psalm like Ps. 51 has its origin in David’s response to God following his infamous affair with Bathsheba, 2 Sam. 11. It is one of the marks of the integrity of Scripture that the low points as well as the triumphs of its principal characters are described. The structure of this psalm is as follows: One, a description of blessing, verses 1,2; Two, a report of David’s agony before he confessed his sins, verses 3-5; Three, a lesson to others based on David’s experience with the Lord, verses 6, 7; Four, an oracle from the Lord on righteous living, verses 8,9; Five, concluding praise to the Lord for His mercy, verses 10, 11. – The Nelson Study Bible David, the man after God’s own heart, upon being confronted by Nathan, was deeply grieved and repented and was forgiven. Who else can it be said of in scripture that he was a man after God’s own heart? David loved the Lord and obeyed him. When he sinned and was confronted with that sin, he was deeply grieved and repented and was forgiven. He was also blessed with another child – Solomon. David had many wives and many sons and daughters however God chose this child, a child of David’s and Bathsheba to be the next king. David already had other children. God chose Solomon. Sin is a very serious thing and affects friends and families. Its consequences are still there, however, because of the attitude of David’s heart, God forgave him, restored him and blessed him. Just as he made David clean and made him whiter than snow, God extends that promise to anyone who will come to Him with their sins and seek God’s forgiveness with a broken and contrite heart. We must remember this is not our home, this world, we are only passing through. We, like David, are looking for a city, a heavenly home. Sincerely, Val |
