No. I wouldn't say that. If that were the case why would God allow David to have sinned?
it was you who said it was a learning experience for him, so naturally i am curious as to what lessons were learned.i assumed since you made the claim you would know. please do share i am curious.
We know that God watches over us, and that whatever comes He allows or sends. We know that we go through trials to purge away the bad, and that these are all for our good. He that began a good work in us will complete it. He knows the day we are born and the day we die. Every hair on our head He knows the number of. Satan cannot touch us without the green light from the Almighty.
God does not squelch His children like robots. He allows us a lot of room for personal choice. There can come a point, however, when a sin is such that He will not allow us to continue life on earth. A 'sin unto death'. We are a work in progress. Not a finished product while here on earth in this life. We have a God that is greater than sin and death.
who also may give Satan the green light to do us harm? and even so why use murder as a means to get this across? couldn't he have simply told David this? sent a letter?
and how do you know that the morals i was brought up with weren't based on logic and reason? i think you will find most morals are. as for laws, well murder by it's definition is unlawful killing. as such you will find murder is illegal in my country (America) across all 50 states.
You wouldn't need laws to protect a society that follows the Bible.
Murder is usually considered as a unlawful killing so it is a legal term, not a moral one. If a killing is not unlawful then it is not murder.
Vendetta? Paranoid much? I am pointing out that you do not read what you respond to which very much derails threads and causes communications problems. All that I am asking is that you read before responding.
He did, and had Moses deliver it.
After the flood they went back to picture writing probably because of babel in some places. That did not mean they did not know Noah's sons or daughters and much about creation. It just meant they probably had no need for a written record as all people spoke the same tongue, and maybe had other things different in how the brain works in the former state.
Tell that to the president of the US and other countries. Get off the pious pulpit.
Some things are pretty basic, this is true. We came with some instructions built in.
The OT was about God promising salvation in the form of a man to come one day, and trying to make sure a people existed from which He would work....by and large. Since the wicked world and the spirit forces involved fought that tooth and nail, to keep man in sin and death, it was not a cake walk. But to the unsaved wicked people, I give this advice--don't mess with God. He will win in the end no matter what.
Plenty. How many were killled there? Let's look at the US now...how many dead in all its wars? Like to compare notes? How many kids were killed before being able to be born fully outside the middle east? Over a billions in recent decades for sure. How many kids were kept from the truth of God by the lies of the religion so called science? Untold millions. So, you see the middle east is just a player in a bigger game.
