Very nice except we BEGIN to realize. It must have been much different for the 1 who actually bore the death penalty. There was no substitute for Him, and there was no reprieve on that day. The people he suffered for can be sure of two things: They must be so guilty helpless vile rotten and awful to incur such wrath. And they must be worth the price of the payment to the one who cleared the debt in full.

Human desires r so strong that we need to keep in check n disciplined ourselves to not entertain those thoughts cz once we entertain it,we bound to fall n we hv seen many Servants of Christ falls many times as they let those thoughts get into them n so they act on..Evn David a strong king who defeated many Big n strong kings too fall to this desire.So we need to check this thought wen it arises n not to entertain it.David paid heavily for his Sins n we too if we give in to this desire we will hv to pay a huge price n that's y LUST is one of the Seveb Deadly Sin.

When Nathan said "thou art that man" only then did David know it,... but before Nathan said this, David was furious at such an injustice, yet he couldn't see it was he who was being spoken of until Nathen said "thou art that man", and his eyes were opened after these words,.. I think he was being tested in the way Hezekiah was in first Chronicles 32:31-32 where it said when the emissaries from Babylon were coming to ask about the miracle in the land,... God left him,... to test him,.. and to see all that was in his heart, so when God tests you, He must "leave" you to test you. and this seemingly happens a number of times in the Bible,.. when Peter was told by Jesus that he would deny Him three times before the rooster crowed, you would think he could have caught himself after the first, or at least the second time he did it, but only after the third time and then only after the rooster crowed did he become aware that he had done exactly what Jesus said he would do, as the same with Joseph,.. the Bible said God was with Joseph, and is why I believe everything he did was so successful and why he was ABLE to run,....

Brothers and Sisters,King David committed adultery but I say to you whomever sees a women with sinful desires had already done adultery. Pray Our eyes be full of Light so our bodies may be filled with light

As I read it, David’s covering up a “love child” scandal - he tries to send Uriah back home so it would be assumed he’s the father of his wife’s baby - it’s when Uriah insists on doing his duty that David orders Joab to abandon Uriah to the enemy - but Joab countermands David & Uriah is killed in the normal course of the battle - so David’s guilty of murderous intent but perhaps not effect - still, plenty to “displease” the Lord

Sproul was great but the recording is a little low.

This is an example of how men distort the doctrine of Paul as Peter says, to their own destruction,when David's sin is made the sin of all mankind , but God;s forgiveness is not made the forgiveness of all mankind, as Paul teaches in Roman's chapter 5v19, by one man's Adam's disobedience many were made sinners, so by the obedience of one man Christ, many shlall be made righteous, since Mr Sproul teaches that all men are made sinners when Adam disobeyed God , it means that all men are made righteoius when Christ obeyed God, needless to say Paul does not teach that all men inherit death in Adam and inherit life in Christ, or inherit unrighteousness in Adam and inherit inherit righteousness in Christ, I decide to follow Adam's example and die, and I decide to follow the example of Christ by the enabling power of the Holy Spirt and Live, in Romans chapter 8

CORRECTION- Do not repeat the common error.. It was David (2 Sam 11:2) who was on the rooftop - NOT the woman (whom Nathan described as a beloved, innocent (as a daughter) ewe lamb in 2 Sam 12: 3 - she was a helpless,, innocent woman who was overtaken by a powerful man (David's servants took her - she did not come to him ( 2 Sam 11:4)

So David sent messengers and took her, and she came to him, and he lay with her. (Now she had been purifying herself from her uncleanness.) Then she returned to her house. 2 Samuel 11:4 ESV While nothing in the text clearly indicates that Bathsheba is guilty of anything, there's nothing which indicates she's completely free of guilt either. The Bible is silent on that I believe. I think Uriah and his wife loved each other... Add it might not make much sense that she in any form consented to this sin, but such is the nature of sin, it is senseless and hurts the ones we love. But I think the Bible is silent on Bathsheba's guilt, so best not to make her compliant or make David's sin worse than what is explicitly stated.

Bathing on her rooftop to keep from being seen by people on the street and most likely behind a screen to keep from the view of her neighbors if they were to be on her rooftop. David, being king could also be on his rooftop looking down at her as she was on her rooftop, seeing as it was common for palaces to be taller or positioned on a ridge above the city. It doesn't mean RC was wrong, it is possible they were BOTH on their own rooftops.

@@ngugisimon6471 Inclined to agree here, I think if David forced himself on her, the bible would have made that clear. Also, we should keep in mind that David is and was one of, if not the most famous Kings ever. He's pretty much a superhero as well. Blessed by God with an ongoing list of his 'wins' and the things he did that were right in the eyes of God. I don't doubt that as David found her tempting, he had to be extremely tempting to her as well. But outside of what the bible clearly reveals to us, the rest is speculation. And as you said, they committed terrible sin, were punished, and David repented before the Lord.

Let us not forget that what led to this temptation in the first place was the fact that David was home kicking back instead of being with his men out in the field fighting the battles of the Lord. The whole point of this story is not to tell us how great a sin David or Bathsheba had committed, but to it’s meant to warn us, that should we ever let our guard down and relax in our Christian walk, so that we forget that we are in a spiritual battle against the enemies of God, who are out to get us to compromise and destroy our souls, we too will fall into the same snare and temptation of the Devil. This story is meant by God to be held up as a mirror in order that we might see ourselves in David. Let’s not miss the point. David was a godly man. And if he could fall into temptation and the snare of the Devil, who are we to think that we would fare any better given the similar circumstances. Let him who thinks he stands take heed, lest he fall.

Bath Sheba was not assuming she was bathing in private. She deliberately placed herself in David's sight. And technically David did not commit adultery (though at the time he probably thought he was). Uriah was a rabid homosexual who never consummated his marriage with Bath Sheba. Which is why she was desperate to tempt David, being left barren by her supposed husband, it was her only chance to have children by somebody.

no it’s not, Because as we see in Matthew 19 Christ affirms that the original intent was one man and one woman, Paul restricts eldership to those with one wife etc. ), and if these standards are holy for elders and deacons, then they are holy for all. Allowance may have been made, but we live in a time of God's clearer revelation and so Christianity has never accepted the practice. now you might ask, why did it change? i’d say that, It is not so much God's disallowing something He previously allowed as it is God's restoring marriage to His original plan. Even going back to Adam and Eve, polygamy was not God's original intent. God seems to have allowed polygamy but it was not the ideal kind of marriage.

@E.T.H. God never blessed polygamy, He blessed polygyny. God gave David more wives. Do you think God gave David more wives because it was sinful? The NT overseer must be the husband on at least one wife. Monogamy came in as pagan Rome started using Christian terms to fool people.
