Can Someone Explain Why God Killed David's Son For David's Sin? by Nobody: 7:35pm On May 02, 2013 |
I wonder why a loving God will kill a child for the father's sins. David killed somebody and committed adultery with the person's wife. Instead of God to punish David, he killed David's son. Can someone explain the logic in this to me? Note that David fasted, prayed and laid on the ground for days for forgiveness, yet God killed his baby.
2 Samuel 12 |

God probably felt that since the baby was a product of some grievous sin,it had to die.So,he killed it to make some kinda atonement. |

This is one of those things I also do question about certain bible principles. Why should an innocent soul have to suffer for the sin he knows nothing about and this seem like an injustice while atimes the actual offender may not go through any punishment |
Re: Can Someone Explain Why God Killed David's Son For David's Sin? by Danyell(m): 9:00pm On May 02, 2013 |
Probably because the baby was illegitimate. You know God works in mysterious ways and his ways are not our ways. Probably Solomon (born through legitimate and consensual f.ucking) was the reincarnation of the first baby. |

Logicboy03:You see, that's why you need the spirit of the twisting tiger to discern scriptures. The baby wasn't killed, the baby's soul was only transferred to the body of Solomon (remember legitimate f.ucking). |

Logicboy03: I wonder why a loving God will kill a child for the father's sins. David killed somebody and committed adultery with the person's wife. Instead of God to punish David, he killed David's son. Good question: My thoughts are that the death of the child was attributed to their God, Yahweh. If that story is taken literally anyway. BUT, let's take the tsunami some years ago. Some people attributed it to God also. How do they know it was God that caused it? I mean, why would a God kill innocent children right? I'm just making the comparison that just like Nathan predicted and attributed the death of the child to Yahweh, the same way people attribute the tsunami to God. I'm assuming you posed the question because there is no point in killing an innocent child for the sins of his parents. I agree with this sentiment. However, I think the underlying point to your question is that that act in itself it "evil" or "unjustified". Which seems that way to me too. I know you believe Yahweh is a monster. He/it could very well be if we believe him to be real. He personally admits to causing good and evil (Isaiah 45:7) I have more but maybe someone can shed more light on this. Good reasoning still. Give thanks! |

GOD HAD BLESSED. David.david sinned. All sin deserve punishment. God had sworn not to punish david. He decided to punish the son knowing grief wil afect him. |

mumumugu: GOD HAD BLESSED. David.david sinned. All sin deserve punishment. God had sworn not to punish david. He decided to punish the son knowing grief wil afect him. Did David hate God then? Exodus 20:5 "You must not bow down to them or worship them; for I, the LORD your God, am a jealous God, punishing the children for the fathers' sin, to the third and fourth generations of those who hate Me,..." Or Ezekiel 18:20 "The one who sins is the one who will die. The child will not share the guilt of the parent, nor will the parent share the guilt of the child. The righteousness of the righteous will be credited to them, and the wickedness of the wicked will be charged against them." Yet, earlier in Genesis God allowed the first son of Judah, Er to be born. Once he was wicked in God site then God killed him. With this in mind, what's your take on these two verses? Just reasoning... Give thanks! |

Again with questions you don't want answers to, Lb Yahweh, can't live with Him, can't live without Him, eh, Lb? Anyway, I think you are the first person to consider the death of a person's child to not be useable as punishment for the person, my friend. For all we know, when the kid opened its eyes on the other side of the divide, it was glad it didn't have to wait to get to heaven, maybe And that is while David is enduring heartbreak for the loss of his child. But, being a young man still wet behind the ears and knowing nothing about loving another human being with every bit of your being, you could never appreciate the pain a father suffers for losing his child through his own carelessness or stupidity, could you, Lb? |
Re: Can Someone Explain Why God Killed David's Son For David's Sin? by Nobody: 12:02pm On May 03, 2013 |
Ihedinobi: Again with questions you don't want answers to, Lb smh. Ihedinobi; For all we know, when the kid opened its eyes on the other side of the divide, it was glad it didn't have to wait to get to heaven, maybe 1) The child didnt just die.....it suffered in sickness for 7 days. Ihedinobi; But, being a young man still wet behind the ears and knowing nothing about loving another human being with every bit of your being, you could never appreciate the pain a father suffers for losing his child through his own carelessness or stupidity, could you, Lb? 2) So, a childless man doesnt know unconditional love? You assume that I do not take care of my neices and nephews or even my old parents. Arrogance. |
Re: Can Someone Explain Why God Killed David's Son For David's Sin? by Nobody: 12:40pm On May 03, 2013 |
Logicboy03: And it couldn't have been punishment for David to see that it was his fault that the kid was in pain for that long, eh? Hypothetical alert! But, as always, you're free to ignore. Ihedinobi; But, being a young man still wet behind the ears and knowing nothing about loving another human being with every bit of your being, you could never appreciate the pain a father suffers for losing his child through his own carelessness or stupidity, could you, Lb? Lol. There he goes again generalizing. Lb, I was refering specifically to you, not to all childless young men. You know zip about love, my friend. If you did, you would not have asked such a patently stupid question as the op. There are childless young men who even without the experience of fatherhood can conceptualize a father's pain that he lost a child and how particularly bad such pain can be if the father thinks or knows it was his fault. But, you, my friend, are too dense to comprehend that ordinarily. |
Re: Can Someone Explain Why God Killed David's Son For David's Sin? by Nobody: 12:51pm On May 03, 2013 |
Ihedinobi: I will leave you to your silliness. The insult you gave me is quite painful. Telling me that I do not know what love is. I dont wish that insult on you. When I remember how I care for others in my family for no reward other than I want them to live and spread the same care that I have given them.......I just laugh at your assumptions about me. I'll leave you to your high horse. Keep judging and assuming things. Luke 6:37 "Do not judge, and you will not be judged. Do not condemn, and you will not be condemned. Forgive, and you will be forgiven." ========= Edit; If I had a child and God told me that he will punish the child for my sins, I would beg God to punish me instead. Why should my child suffer? Any reasonable judge will punish the offender and not the innocent offsping of the offender. If after seven days of fasting and rolling on the floor so that my child doesnt die but the child still dies after suffering for 7 days, I will personally curse that God for he is wicked |
Re: Can Someone Explain Why God Killed David's Son For David's Sin? by Nobody: 1:07pm On May 03, 2013 |
Logicboy03: I'm glad that for once I've got through to you, Lb. Your eyes will yet see the King seated upon His Throne, high and exalted above the worship of the people of the earth. You will yet know that all you have that you call good and the love you claim to know are as clouds and darkness compared to that which is really good and Him Who is truly Love. Of course you would curse God, my friend. There are few things that hurt as much as losing one's child. But the wise man is the one who can differentiate between his responsibility and God's. David was wise. He prayed exactly what you say you would pray under the same circumstances, but he got up off the floor and cleaned himself up and worshipped the God Who was wiser than himself when the sentence was executed. He acknowledged both that God is Sovereign and that it was his own failure that brought his trouble to him. In that, David is wiser than you. It was for his unwavering confidence in the Lord God that God bound Himself to him with mind-boggling promises, Lb. One day, you will find the same confidence. |

Does GOD think and see as man? Or is the Way of the ALMIGHTY same as your ways? If you want to know, why don't you ascend on high and mount yourself as the MOST HIGH GOD in riding upon the Heavens and sitting upon the Mount of Congregation in the sides of the North and ask HIS MAJESTY directly "Why did you kill David's son?" Have you forgotten that GOD is not questionable? Have you not read that every idle words you say, you will make account of on Judgment Day? Why then should you let the devil lend you to speak against the Heavens that he(devil) might report you to GOD for your malspeeches! |
