Jesus used that didactic ploy in debating the self-serving Pharisees all the time.

I believe the first term you used to describe your own comments was "trolling" (post 6798: "I really was just trolling to get you to step in it, and you did."). Then came a defense of "trolling" because, according to you, Jesus used it as a "plot" all the time.

Ploy is defined as something that is done or said, often dishonestly, in order to get an advantage; a trick:
a marketing ploy
. Have you translated your own version of the Bible to include the word "ploy" after the fashion of your other teachings, despite the fact that there was no deceit in Messiah's mouth ?

The Holy Ghost was there, but David must have refused to hear the still small voice. As we fail to heed the still small voice when we are contemplating iniquity. To God, sin is sin, no matter how we try to regard it as small or large.

This is what I expected. It seems to me a theological anomaly where one believes the Holy Spirit was always upon David, even as he committed murder and adultery. Notwithstanding it was almost a millennium before the coming of Messiah, and all the theological problems that presents.

Correction:
plot => ploy, my smart phone switched "ploy" to "plot."

Not dishonestly here, fellow. And certainly not twisting the Scripture, as is the habit of some. You wouldn't do that, would you? Like telling me that the RCC wrote the Bible? Nah.
