Uriah the Hittite

Elitists believe that only the views of a small body of experts can discern between works of fine art and works of lesser merit. Many parishes today are chock full of elitists who consider themselves as part of an "in crowd" who promote a so-called higher brand of cultural expression in Christian worship. They make use of pretentious language, using old hackneyed expressions such as, "God deserves only the best" and/or "Forbid us to praise the Lord carelessly" in order to advance their elitist agenda

it clear that when the Israelites commit iniquity, he will punish them. Their sin warrants God’s discipline, but throughout the book God punishes certain sins more harshly than others. Sins that are against another person, such as David murdering Uriah, have milder consequences than sins that involve the failure to do something, such as Saul’s failure to pray during his reign. I will argue that omissive sins are more offensive to the Lord than interpersonal sins because they challenge God’s sovereignty

iniquity, he will punish them (2 Samuel 7:14). Their sin warrants God’s discipline, but as we see throughout the book of Samuel, God punishes certain types of sins more harshly than others. Sins that are against another person, such as David murdering Uriah, have milder consequences than sins that involve lacking to do something, such as Saul’s deficiency of prayer during his reign. I will argue that omissive sins are more offensive to the Lord than interpersonal sins as determined by the severity of

How many have heard of David and Goliath, an exciting story most people have probably heard, or maybe of his murder of Uriah the Hittite, but David’s life was more by the grace of God. Acts 13:22 says, “God testified concerning him: I have found David son of Jesse, a man after my own heart; he will do everything I want him to do” (NIV). David was a man after God’s own heart because of his faith; unlike the previous king Saul. David’s life was filled with a rocky rise to kingship, many accomplishments

As we examine the heroes of the faith outlined for us in the Old Testament, we would be hard pressed to find a more faithful man that King David. After the death of King Saul, David became the King of the Hebrew people. David, who was meek and pious, steadfastly believed in the true God and tried to do His will. He had endured much persecution from Saul and other enemies but did not become bitter, did not lift his hand against Saul, as he was the Lord’s anointed, but placed all his hope in God, and

Uriah refused to go home to his wife, so David sent Uriah to the front lines of battle, where he was killed. David then married Bathsheba. When confronted by Nathan the prophet, David admitted his sin. In punishment, Bathsheba’s child died and David was cursed with the promise of

back, David finds himself in the wrong place at the wrong time one day, when he sees a woman bathing on the roof of a building near him. This woman’s beauty overcomes him, so he inquires as to her identity. The woman is Bathsheba, wife of Uriah the Hittite. David allows his lust to overcome him and sends for the woman. When she arrives in his chambers, David commits statuary rape,

intention is not to go into details of the sin of David. Nonetheless, We believe it is sufficient to say that he broke two of the Ten Commandments: the seventh commandment that says: do not commit adultery. He did that with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite. And then, he also broke the Sixth Commandment,

Many people find it hard to believe that the Bible is based on true events and is reliable. People do not believe that there is real evidence that the Bible is true. Therefore, they do not trust the history written in the Bible. For example, Thomas Paine was one of many who believed that the Bible is not a reliable source. The Age of Reason was written by him in 1793 and 1794. In it he wrote that he was a deist, a person who believes that God created the universe, but does not become involved with

whom he saw bathing upon the rooftops one night. David knew that Bathsheba was marrie to Uriah, one of his military leaders. But he nevertheless sent for her and committed adultery with her, and from this sin a child was conceived. At first, David tried to cover his indiscretion and bade Uriah to go to his wife in the hopes that they would lie together and the baby might be passed off as Uriah's. However, when Uriah refused to go to his wife, David had him killed, and took Bathsheba to be his own wife
