Wasn't Jesus supposed to have descended from David, through Bath-sheba? It's been so long since I've read anything in the bible.
Matthew 1:6 David had Solomon (Uriah's wife was the mother), The Message Bible
Yes, he did, and the Bible doesn't gloss over that fact.
I like that.

reading that made me throw up a little
Tec - problem is they were not using it as an example of what NOT to do. They are using it as a good example.
Evidently, Bath-sheba was good for something, not "good for nothing."
Oh, this is why I come here, beyond the endless evolution debates. Ha!

Yes I know. But I think it is a good (or perhaps clever) example to use. Because if a person brings up Bathsheba, then they just have more ammunition. "Yes, David knew what he should do... but he didn't do it... and look what happened to him, to Bathsheba, to Uriah, to the child born, etc." and then: "You too, if you know what to do and do not do it, could suffer such similar consequences... etc."
