Subject: Does child die for fathers sin? |
Bible Note: Welcome Lady! Although I understand your distress regarding the death of the infant, I must disagree with the paralells you drew that might show a pre-figureing of the child with birth and death of Christ. David's child was not sinless, but was born (as are all the decendents of Adam) bearing the stain of "original sin". God established His covenant with the people of Israel not it's king. David was not the federal head of the people as the first Adam was for all his seed. Christ, the 2nd and "Last Adam" is the federal head for all "His people" (spiritual seed). Our comfort comes from the knowledge that the death of this child was ordained by a loving God who always does that which is good in His sight. God Bless, Hobbs |
