    God although punishing him also forgave him and backed him up

    Fm: yeah, so the story goes, history always written by the victors. Everyone around him was punished but the criminal himself.

    Very strange, to describe a god so obsessed with law that he had to have the later "eye for an eye"

    legislation pre actively apply to create the "ransom" arrangement, having his own son killed, and the "value" presented to him in heaven.* but

    disregarding it in that murdering adulterer's case, who was supposed to be the gold standard for the nation[s]

    *looks uncannily like the musical chair rituals at the kh hall, with the sitting and waiving , waving of the emblems.

    Not everyone around him—his sons, people that he loved dearly more than himself. Bitter punishment. Compared to secular, the factor in this equation is God.

    But he was appointed by God and God although punishing him also forgave him and backed him up and that is the point.

    You forgot to mention that God killed 70,000 innocent persons for David's sin of taking a census. And as you mentioned God killed an innocent baby to punish David. Any other Jew would have had to bear the penalty for their sins personally and been stoned to death. Not David though. And that is the example that today's pedophiles in the JW's can fall back on. Punish the innocent for the crimes of the guilty.

    Whether Gods’s justice is just is another topic. The point is that David did not get away with murder.

    He can be gay as well. No worries about David.

    FM; typical fisherman's story about the one that got away, told with straight face and outstretched arms.

    remembering that this is all part of the ongoing talking snake saga, to be taken with a pinch of salt, like all fishy stories,

    david did not pay the price demanded by the law that applies to every human, pay with his own for the thousands of losses he caused.

    the lesson is, that stories like this, if believed, do terrible things to the minds of those involved,

    "woe to those that say bad is good. "

    david did not pay the price demanded by the law.

    Neither did king Mannaseh. That is God’s justice/mercy. God also allowed Jesus to be killed for the sins of the world as the Bible says.

    Lesson from the bible,

    The scum rises to the top, keep your distance to be safe. ultimately, the first will be last.

    A far better example of mercifulness in action is the other small J in the bible, Joseph , the premier of Egypt.

    he was gypt by his brothers of his rightful place among them, but rose to rule a vastly more advanced civilisation than the johnny come lately David. Joseph did better than even Moses, who could not help but have a less than perfect record.

    Joseph? his adversaries were forced to eat out of his hand. bullies take note.

    P.S. wt writers always cite joseph as an example of resisting temptation. wt wrong again. as a slave he disobeyed his female master's orders. even when he was physically accosted. He preferred possible death in prison instead.

    Joseph was in a spot. First there is no mention if she was an attractive woman. Other first, ( take your choice) screwing the bosses wife never ends well

    David was a womanizer. His treatment if Michael (?sp) was horrid. She was right, he was acting the fool. At the end of his life we should sympathize with Abishag
