To be fair to sevenbak, at the time he and DU hadbeen touting the example of David being given Saul’s ‘household’ as an example of God fostering polygamy thus it was not ‘adultery’ to take Sual’s wives from him an d give them to David because God can supercede His admonitions. I pointed out to them that Saul was dead when the ‘household’ was given to David (I failed at the time to show that it was more an issue of ‘for his protection’ rather than their destruction being allowed to happen), thus the thing was not adultery nr fostering polygamy. Sevenbak went back over the references and accepted that Saul was in fact dead when God gave Saul’s household over to David’s care.
It would be an interesting study to show how God passing Saul’s household over to David’s care was biblically sound rather than fostering polygamy. Certainly we see that ‘acquisition’ of Bathsheba was condemned, and especially the murder of Uriah in order to try and cancel the adultery angle.

I’m not sure which Freeper that refers to but surely we can find a kinder nickname than DU...
OK, thanks for the info. Back to our regular programming.
