Uriah died in the battle, and David married Uriahs wife. I'm asking this, because of the several questions I've read here, about unforgivable sins.

Yes he was forgiven,but his sin came with very large consequences.The child that Bathsheba the wife of Uriah and later wife of King David was pregnant with died at birth and David suffered greatly because of the loss of his son.

Not shocked not angry but a little confused. I wish I knew what church she went to. The bible is full of soldiers and warriors (and they weren't always the bad guys). David was a soldier when he killed Goliath. I just wonder who has warped her towards something like that.

Hi Rodney. Good evening/day.Very good subject! First of all, in case anyone does not know what sin is, let's define it.  Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law. or MKJV- Everyone who practices sin also practices lawlessness, for sin is lawlessness-1John 3:4. Myself included, we need to ensure that we know what sin is so that we can be sincerely repentant and strive to not commit sins. You are correct everyone sins, that is why Jesus - the perfect Son of God who was sinless died for our sins and rose from the dead. Second, the word rapture is not in the Bible. Jesus will return to raise the dead and claim those of us who are saved. John 3:13 says  -And no one has ascended up to Heaven except He who came down from Heaven, the Son of Man who is in Heaven. May God Bless  you.

First 7::::Gen 29:18  And Jacob loved Rachel; and said, I will serve thee seven years for Rachel thy younger daughter. \n\nhe earned Rachel.....but got Leah::::Gen 29:25  And it came to pass, that in the morning, behold, it was Leah: and he said to Laban, What is this thou hast done unto me? did not I serve with thee for Rachel? wherefore then hast thou beguiled me? \n\nSo the 2nd 7 years::::Gen 29:27  Fulfil her week, and we will give thee this also for the service which thou shalt serve with me yet seven other years. 28  And Jacob did so, and fulfilled her week: and he gave him Rachel his daughter to wife also. \n\nAnd the third 7 :::::i guess was having the kids, both the children kind, but also the better, healthier lambs and goats:::::Gen 30:42  But when the cattle were feeble, he put them not in: so the feebler were Laban's, and the stronger Jacob's. 43  And the man increased exceedingly, and had much cattle, and maidservants, and menservants, and camels, and asses........\n\nand raising them, and then going back home to re-acquaint himself with Esau......???

I wish I knew where to reference this, but there is a story in the bible about a man with seven brothers (I think) and one dies the next marries the woman, and the next, until they all have married her one by one and died.  According to that story, none of them end up with her as their wife in heaven.  Everyone is there together and joyful essentially, everyone loves everyone else and everyone loves God in Heaven.  I wish I could explain it better, maybe someone here can.

Elhanan killed the brother of Goliath.  The King James is clear, and this is also a different battle & different location.

Here is some facts for you.  Although the book by Dan Brown was fiction there was alot of research behind the events they describe in the bible.  As for the marriage although the bible does not come out and say Jesus married anyone the fact remains the he was a Rabi. To be a Rabi you needed to be married. If he was not married it would have been very odd in that time and alot of people would have wrote about it.  Lets also not forget that the bible is a collection of books that man wrote.  The fact is that there were thousands of people that followed Jesus around and the Roman ruler constantine only chose the books that made Jesus appear to be the son of "God".  He had a bunch of other writings burned if they showed Jesus to be more man like.  Also Mary would have not been allowed to follow Jesus around unless she was family with someone that did follow Jesus.  It still is a strict policy today in the middle east.  To top that off the bible says right out, I think it was Matthew that says it....he asks the other people "Why does Jesus love her (Mary) more than us.  It also states that Jesus kisses Mary unlike any other.  Try this book on for size its not fiction it is historical research.....called "Holy Blood, Holy Grail" very interesting read and it talks about the possible bloodline of Jesus.

to say Jesus was married. would be to say that he couldn't handle the humanly temptations he had. the bible says that God will not give anyone any temptation they can not with stand. so that would say that Jesus was thinking of sinning. which is blasphemy so there you go it is a lie and a heresy to believe it.

hold up, isnt it the 5th commandment (i can never remember the order) that says "Thou shalt not kill"? so no the bible doesnt teach christians that they should fight holy wars and kill people who attack christianity, hell Jesus himself healed the bloke who had his ear chopped off when he came to arrest jesus (if ur a believer).\nbut im all for good entertainment so tell me what channel itl be on :)

That was Lot and his daughters after Sodom and Gomorrah were destroyed by fire and brimstone.  Lot's wife was also turned into a pillar of salt for disobediently looking back at the carnage.  If memory serves me correctly the daughters' excuse was to replenish their line.\nKing David also had sex with Bathsheba who was the wife of one of his army captains.  \nThere are several instances where patriarchs had sex with concubines or maid servants when their wives were not conceiving.\nKing David's son had sex (raped) his own half-sister.\nOne of the prophets wife was a promiscuous woman.\nJesus met a Samaritan woman at the well who was living with a man who was not her husband.

i was really convicted of praying for the peace of jerusalem earlier tonight, actually. I had done it once in awhile, but not as much as I should. Thank you for your question, I hope it serves to keep us accountable.

This is an interesting question!\n\nThere were many people in the OT that were very evil.  Read the books of Kings and Chronicles if you want examples.  However, I think people like Moses, Jacob (who wrestled with Jesus), Abraham, Daniel, Isaiah, Jeramiah, etc. would have accepted Christ because their heart was with God.

I believe that it happened but not exactly like its told in the bible...you should watch the documentary called the Exodus Decoded. It's really well put together and it makes you realize alot of things.

you are so right and so many people need to see the same thing. He suffered a horrible death to save there soul. I wish people would quit saying stupid things about our Lord Jesus Christ and realize that he died on Calvary for there sins. I personally am so glad that 3 years ago i finally realized this and asked Him to come into my heart and today my family and I serve the Lord daily!!!

The answer is so obvious.\n\nPolygamy is not wrong.\n\nGod gave David wives, blessed Leah for giving her husband another wife, and shows a preference for polygamous men throughout the Old Testament.\n\nGod legislated marriage, including the cases where a man would take another wife.\n\nGod illustrates his relationship with his people as a polygamous one. \n\nHow could he do any of that if it was sinful?\n\nThink about it.\n\nGod Bless,\n\nRobert

Not at all! I back them up actually. If God wanted to promote homosexuality, then he would allow man-man woman-woman realationships, but he doesn't. He actually destroyed 2 cities (Sodom and Gomorrah) with a rain of fire because they were practising homosexuality.

Good question and Yes I do. But I go even farther than your comments do in that God controls every event large and small good and bad. See below how He governs even the death of sparrows, works not some things but All things according to His will. I would have to list every event of the war, battles won and lost to show Gods providence. If you read about Moses going to Pharaoh see how God sends Moses with a command to Pharaoh to let Hes people go but also tells Moses that he won't listen because He will harden his heart. We read that God did this so His glory would be manifest in Pharaoh's defeat and that the nations would fear the God of Israel. So we see Gods Providence even in the decisions of men. \n\nMatthew 10:29\nAre not two sparrows sold for a copper coin? And not one of them falls to the ground apart from your Father’s will.
