Re: Twenty One Pilots = Twenty One Profligates, Should Be "Stressed Out" Of The Country! - 06-14-2017, 12:47 PM 06-14-2017, 12:47 PM Quote: MitzaLizalor Originally Posted by It is wonderful to be set free from sin.

Yes, we know this because He forgave him. Just think what would have happened if God had not forgiven David. Would Jesus ever have been born? But God cannot abide sin. What could God do? Fortunately there was a solution.

II Samuel 12 . KJV . CONTEXT

13 David said unto Nathan, I have sinned against the LORD. And Nathan said unto David, The LORD also hath put away thy sin; thou shalt not die.

14 Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. What sort of death did God have in mind for this unregenerate child? Let's find out: 16 David therefore besought God for the child; and David fasted, and went in, and lay all night upon the earth.

17 And the elders of his house arose, and went to him, to raise him up from the earth: but he would not, neither did he eat bread with them.

18 And it came to pass on the seventh day, that the child died. And the servants of David feared to tell him that the child was dead: for they said, Behold, while the child was yet alive, we spake unto him, and he would not hearken unto our voice: how will he then vex himself, if we tell him that the child is dead?

19 But when David saw that his servants whispered, David perceived that the child was dead: therefore David said unto his servants, Is the child dead? And they said, He is dead.

20 Then David arose from the earth, and washed, and anointed himself , and changed his apparel, and came into the house of the LORD, and worshipped: then he came to his own house; and when he required, they set bread before him, and he did eat.

21 Then said his servants unto him, What thing is this that thou hast done? thou didst fast and weep for the child, while it was alive; but when the child was dead, thou didst rise and eat bread.

22 And he said, While the child was yet alive, I fasted and wept: for I said, Who can tell whether GOD will be gracious to me, that the child may live?

23 But now he is dead, wherefore should I fast? can I bring him back again? I shall go to him, but he shall not return to me.

24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him. Henbane (flower)

A week is a long time for a child because a week is a much greater proportion of a child's life that for an adult. For example a year is only 1% of a 100-year-old's life whereas, for a 1-year-old, a year is 100% of a lifetime. Very different concepts, especially from within. I remember having chickenpox for a whole week. A very long week. First I felt like I'd drunk too much henbane, then I felt like I'd picked up a dose of The Botts from some gutter and the next day things got worse. Eventually after what seemed like 1,000,000 years I recovered but David's child was paying for something much worse than chickenpox. At the point where you'd be thinking about getting up for a few minutes to see if you fell over David's child would feel like it was in a flower press. Coming apart at the seams, scab-ridden, so blasted that sorry no you're not getting better you're going to die here's some more pain. No standing up for this little one. God cannot abide sin because God is perfect. Did this little wretch die from bowel ruptures? Convulsions? Peeling off of the skin? Or did it just lie there rotting alive into a little puddle of goo with a few bones and organs until it could fight no longer and whatever meagre hopes lingered behind those once bright, now pleading, eyes were crushed to naught. The child would know what was happening. I knew what was happening to me when I had chickenpox. How much worse did God, in His mercy, pile onto this feeble frame, feeble yet daring to hope to live a moment longer.









Hallelujah!! David was forgiven at last! Praise God for His lovingkindness!! He got the widow of his dreams, now of course a dream no longer but on tap, the wisest son ever to live as attested by the historical record, riches galore and was King of all he surveyed. Yes, there was a way for God to overlook David's sin and so I know that when God tells me to be perfect He is not telling me to do something He cannot achieve.

Matthew 5 . KJV . CONTEXT

48 Be ye therefore perfect, even as your Father which is in heaven is perfect. How is this achieved? I John 3 . KJV . CONTEXT

4 Whosoever committeth sin transgresseth also the law: for sin is the transgression of the law.

5 And ye know that he was manifested to take away our sins; and in him is no sin.

6 Whosoever abideth in him sinneth not: whosoever sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. That is just so humbling, that I am perfect. Perhaps you have a different method of Salvation described somewqhere else? But this is the one described in The Bible. If you have some other source to demonstrate I'm mistaken perhaps you could link to it? If so I can assure you I'll read what you post.



Chelsie, this is an important message for humanity, the the most important message ever because it determines our eternity and I do want to get it right. Thanks.
