.
David committed the sins of premeditated murder and adultery. Under the
terms and conditions of the covenant that Moses' people agreed upon with
God in Exodus, Leviticus, Numbers, and Deuteronomy; those are
unpardonable, viz: there are no atonements in the Levitical catalogue for
those kinds of violations.
• Num 15:30-31 . . But the person, be he citizen or stranger, who acts
defiantly reviles the Lord; that person shall be cut off from among his
people. Because he has spurned the word of The Lord and violated His
commandment, that person shall be cut off— he bears his guilt.
Addressing Jews in the New Testament; the writer said:
• Heb 10:26-28 . . If we deliberately keep on sinning after we have received
the knowledge of the truth, no sacrifice for sins is left, but only a fearful
expectation of judgment and of raging fire that will consume the enemies of
God.
Yet God put away David's unpardonable sins; and the only possible way He
could do it without obstructing justice was to lay those sins on Christ.
• Isa 53:6 . . All we like sheep have gone astray; we have turned every one
to his own way; and The Lord has laid on him the iniquity of us all.
That passage was addressed to Jews too. They have a safety net but I
suspect quite a few either don't know it or they simply don't want it; which
is tragic beyond words.
• Deut 27:26 . . Cursed is the man who does not uphold the words of this
law by carrying them out.
* Christ's crucifixion trumps the covenant's curse because it has always
trumped it. (1Pet 1:20, Rev 13:8)
