Also to say that I think that these exercises may be interesting and be great tools for learning more by delving into the Bible and other works, we cannot decide that which He ha snot revealed to us.
knarf: Old and New Covenants have different "standards".
King David committed adultery and had the inconvenient husband put into position to assure he was killed - yet the Bible tells us he died sinless and resides in Heaven - his punishment was the loss of his son, who also resides in Heaven because God decided he had to die to punish David.
IOW - it was/is in God's hands and He knows while we won't until we reach heaven ourselves.
King David went to the Ark of the Covenant and admitted his sin and took responsibility. He saved himself through that.
