You have to take into account the context in which David wrote this. He was lamenting about the sin he had committed with Bathsheba.

That’s quite a loaded question, but a good one nevertheless. There’s a big difference between an infant and a nineteen year old. If the parents are unsaved or unmarried, one would have to assume that the child is not guilty of the parents sin. If that child becomes a young adult, he or she will...

They are not. I’m sure they are very mad at God if they even believe in His existence.

From what we know of God’s nature(Or I should say what He has revealed to us) is that He judges with righteousness. A 5 year old is certainly sinful by their very nature. Do they truly know this as their minds are so immature? I don’t think so. Some others posted scripture that supports this...

Very well put.

Absolutely. Very much appreciated.

I’m going to go out on a limb and say you’re simply being provocative with this post. You already established what you would and would not accept, though Jesus doesn’t need mans testimony about him: There is another who testifies in my favor, and I know that his testimony about me is true. You...

Absolutely. Jesus shows special affection for children.

Recently, a dear friend of mine daughters child passed away. He was only 5 months along in gestation. Very sad for the whole family. It made think of God and His mercy and love. I haven’t read much about where children go after death. I take solace in what David said with regards to his infant...

I’m not really understanding where this is all coming from. Were you part of a church that was involved in scams? You’re judging men’s intentions and hearts solely on the notion that they are marking a salary.

You’re generalizing which is not the message of these passages. You’re pretty much saying the entire aggregate of preachers are guilty of this. Billy Graham’s net worth when he passed away was 25 million. Was he a wolf in sleeps clothing?

There some that make millions I’m sure. That didn’t necessarily mean their all greedy. Again, that’s between them, God, and their congregations.

This OP sounds like it’s agenda driven. There seems to be a lot of animosity directed at Pastors who make living from what they do. I attended a church that essentially wanted to become a mega-Church. I was not in the belief that how they were going about was God honoring, so I decided to...

Not a problem.

Yes, this is true. The Apostles were called by Jesus personally(Except Matthias whom was chosen by lot). I don’t see how that applies to Pastors and Minsters and if they get a salary or not.

Always like this song even though the band is well known for their debauchery.

Simply for the topic discussion, do you think the 3 are separate but equal entities? I always like to know someone else’s view of things.

I can certainly see how one might conceive that Jonah had died and went to Sheol. Jesus did assert that comparison of His death and resurrection. However, I don’t think scripture gives us enough information to determine if that actually happened. You also have to take into account what Jesus...

Always enjoyed Third Day!
