"You continue to judge David after the Christ has already suffered and shed His Blood to forgive Him."

I believe I said that according to the law, David ought to have been stoned.

Of course, according to Christ he is Forgiven and spotless.

I'm still not clear on whether you think a witness for adultery must be present during the ACT, that they have to actually see it happen.

YOu have yet to learn what a Jew truly is from Paul....from Jesus.

I think you miss the point entirely. A witness in the context of the Law is an accuser, not an observer. And a righteous servant of God would never bring a witness against the Lord's Anointed. It is God who judges His Anointed, not you or Post. Well, it shouldn't be you and Post, but it is.

I think you are trying to say God didn't follow His own law here, so you can have an excuse to disregard whatever Law of God that doesn't fit your religious lifestyle. And I think it is important to note EVERY WORD of God in His Law before you accuse God of showing partiality for David, or before you try and convince people that the Christ taught against His Fathers Commandments.

I can only go by what the Scriptures say, so if you have a religion which rejects or omits the following Word's of God I can only advise you to reconsider the religion.

Lev. 26:
33 And I will scatter you among the heathen, and will draw out a sword after you: and your land shall be desolate, and your cities waste.
34 Then shall the land enjoy her sabbaths, as long as it lieth desolate, and ye be in your enemies' land; even then shall the land rest, and enjoy her sabbaths.
35 As long as it lieth desolate it shall rest; because it did not rest in your sabbaths, when ye dwelt upon it.
36 And upon them that are left alive of you I will send a faintness into their hearts in the lands of their enemies; and the sound of a shaken leaf shall chase them; and they shall flee, as fleeing from a sword; and they shall fall when none pursueth.
37 And they shall fall one upon another, as it were before a sword, when none pursueth: and ye shall have no power to stand before your enemies. (David being carried away by his flesh)
38 And ye shall perish among the heathen, and the land of your enemies shall eat you up.
39 And they that are left of you shall pine away in their iniquity in your enemies' lands; and also in the iniquities of their fathers shall they pine away with them.
40 If they shall confess their iniquity, and the iniquity of their fathers, with their trespass which they trespassed against me, and that also they have walked contrary unto me;
41 And that I also have walked contrary unto them, and have brought them into the land of their enemies; if then their uncircumcised hearts be humbled, and they then accept of the punishment of their iniquity:
42 Then will I remember my covenant with Jacob, and also my covenant with Isaac, and also my covenant with Abraham will I remember; and I will remember the land.

This is just as much a part of God's Law as "Thou shall not kill". David was a living manifestation of God's Promises here, the curses and the blessings.

God did not ignore His Law here, He established it.

You're saying it is a Jewish tradition then? I'm fine with people doing Jewish traditions.

I just thought it was interesting that study man liked your post basically wishing shabbat shalom, yet I thought he was very much against later human traditions.

Very possible.

Now, my question is is the practice of wishing shabbat shalom something commanded in the law? Or is it talked about some other place in the scriptures?

Or is it a kind of Jewish tradition similar to wearing a yamaka?

I believe my question was did a witness in your view have to be physically present during the ACT? Perhaps an eyewitness is a better word. Does it have to be an eyewitness?

I believe you mentioned something about not uncovering your father's nakednesss. that led me to think that perhaps you thought that a witness in the scriptures, in the law, had to be physically present during the event and watching.

Now, an accuser sounds like something very different. I would think an accuser would not need to be present during the event.

But then why did you talk about the father's nakedness issue?

I simply believe it is "Good" to wish people well in obeying the Great God of Abraham who became Flesh and dwelt among us, as opposed to wishing people well for rebelling against or dishonoring the Great God of Abraham, which became Flesh and dwelt among us.

My Lord, the Lord of God's Holy Sabbath, said it was "Lawful" to do "Good" on the Sabbath Days. Wishing people well, who honor Him with respect and obedience, is not "bad" in my view.

Working to convince people that it is OK to reject His Commandment is not "Good" in my view.

But to each his own.

It is no differenct than saying "adios" when departing. How can you possibly make a greeting in Hebrew something contentious? This is reaching , and it sounds xenophobic.

You are not an eyewitness Dan, you are an accuser. Those who were an eye witness did not bring an accusation against the Lords anointed just as Noah's two sons didn't "look on" the nakedness of their father.

There were no "Witnesses against David". You can't find one because they are not there. You are a witness against David, Post is a witness against David. The eyewitnesses respected God and their King enough not to bring an accusation against the Lord's anointed.

They had faith that God knew what was going on and their Faith was vindicated.

When you have been putting me only in the spotlight to "explaine my motivation" I cannot entertain any other thought.

We all have Google capabilities…….you could have looked it up. If I say "ma shlocha" it is not a religious doctrine, it is simply modern Hebrew asking you how you are....

I see. So is it fair to say that in your view man-made traditions, human Traditions are okay if they are good?

But you are preaching that David was not punished, that God punished David's bastard son to atone for his sin. And you completely ignore the Word's of God which expose your preaching on this matter as false.

There is also the fact of the child. The pregnancy.

All the neighbors and Palace servants I suppose know that Uriah hasn't been home for a long time.

That's probably why David is so desperate to get Uriah to sleep with her even just once. Then this whole thing can just go away.

But it doesn't work out that way, and so yes, very likely loads of witnesses.

Unless one demands that at least two witnesses be present in the very bedroom at the time. I think that would make a mockery of the law.

No,
I am saying "human traditions" are not bad if they are lawful. That is what the Christ of the Bible said is it not?

Mark. 3:4 And he saith unto them, Is it lawful to do good on the sabbath days, or to do evil? to save life, or to kill? But they held their peace.

Matt. 12:
11 And he said unto them, What man shall there be among you, that shall have one sheep, and if it fall into a pit on the sabbath day, will he not lay hold on it, and lift it out?
12 How much then is a man better than a sheep? Wherefore it is lawful to do well on the sabbath days.

So according to the Christ of the Bible, it is "lawful" to do good, "Wish a Brother well", on the Sabbath days.

Working for money, or golfing the back nine or grilling pork chops would not be doing "Good" on God's Holy Sabbath, in my view.
