Subject: Does child die for fathers sin? |
Bible Note: We know that marriage is an institution ordained by God, and we are talking about lineage at this point as well as the throne of David. To me, as I am understanding it, this is a good example of God’s sovereignty. What He has ordained will come to pass. What He plans regarding men He works out in spite of men and their choices or behaviors. Consider Absalom, the eldest living son of David at the time of Bathsheba’s child’s death. As the eldest living son, Absalom would be in line for the throne. We know that Absalom was the fruit of polygamy and we know that it worked out that he did not succeed the throne. Very specifically, I believe that Solomon was chosen to succeed his father and God worked through the details to accomplish His purpose. I haven’t studied the issue enough to really support this in depth. I will try to respond to the other passages you mentioned in your last post but don’t have the time now. I’m busy getting ready for a 4th cook out and my grandson is demanding attention. God bless, Jeff |
