I hope that your agreeing with us doesn’t get you into trouble with the non-/anti- Catholics.
LOL! I doubt it. There are actually many things we agree on. But in this forum we focus on our differences. So unless I missed some hidden trap in conceding David's guilt, I don't think there will be any controversy. :)
BTW, it actually surprises me that this is an issue. I was raised among some the best evangelical preaching you could ask for, in person, major figures like AW Tozer, Warren Weirsbe, etc., and that's where we learned so much about all of these famous OT persons, Abraham, Jacob, David, etc. After a lifetime of such exposure, it was almost like we had known these characters personally. Weirsbe especially had a gift for immersing you in the story, so you felt like you were living it with them.
And after all that, never ran into a single soul who would have questioned David's guilt. So I'm clueless about that. I have no idea where that's coming from.

Why should it?
Even I agree with 87% of your doctrine.
