Why at the same time tell us it is the Bible is inerrant word of God!
Hey gang that couldn't shoot straight you can't have it both ways!:) LOL
The only thing that condemned David it wasn't plural wives or concubines it was the murder of Uriah, murder is an unpardonable sin!
This is one thing David could not repent for because of all the light of truth he was given in life!
The long and varied discipline through which he passed in the earlier part of his life fitted him for the duties of the throne. As shepherd he acquired the habit of deep reflection; as courtier he was trained in self-control and chivalrous generosity; as outlaw he acquired knowledge of men and power of government; while each successive phase of experience developed that conscious dependence upon God which was the secret of his strength throughout his life. Like Saul he was guilty of grave crimes; but unlike Saul, he was capable of true contrition and was therefore able to find forgiveness, except in the murder of Uriah. As a consequence David is still unforgiven, but he received a promise that the Lord would not leave his soul in hell. He will be resurrected at the end of the Millennium. Because of his transgressions, he has fallen from his exaltation (D&C 132: 39).
"For whatsoever things were written aforetime were written for our learning, that we through patience and comfort of the scriptures might have hope." ~ Romans 15:4
No, it is not.
Matthew 12:31
And so I tell you, every sin and blasphemy will be forgiven men, but the blasphemy against the Spirit will not be forgiven.
But; since it is merely Jesus, the Son of God speaking, who can REALLY figger out what He means?
Dang!
What’d I miss at 363??
Christ's blood is sufficient to clean away ALL sin. Not just the ones you find the least repugnant. There are murderers who have repented and been saved by the grace of God.
In my own church one Sunday there was a woman from the community who came to visit. She had recently murdered her husband in self-defense. He was emotionally and physically abusive to her for a long time. And one night during a violent outburst she had to kill him to save her own life.
She was sorry for her act. She even had the courage to apologize to the community. And I know without a doubt that when she spoke to God and explained how sorry she was for what she had done, He forgave her.
Your sentence was self-contradictory ... you mention David, whom we know was a man after God’s own heart and whom God blessed after the Uriah sin, yet you say murder is an unpardonable sin. Do you even know what is the contradiction in your own post? Has anyone ever explained to you the washing of regeneration (the cleansing which IS salvation so the Holy Spirit can come into your human spirit for the rest of your life in the flesh) and transformation (living by faithing thus fulfilling the Law of God) by the indwelling Holy Spirit, rather than by ‘all that you can do’? Freepmail me, Resty, and I’ll explain in simple, easy to understand words, then you can know Him the Hope of Glory.
