Bathsheba

Over the course of the second half of this class’s readings, one reads into the latter and larger part of the Old Testament, as well as the earlier portion of the New Testament. This provides a nice transitionary period in realizing the connection between some of the Messianic and other prophecies made in the prophetic books of the Old Testament with the realizations of those prophecies in the New Testament, with both the exile of Israel, and the birth and life of Jesus Christ.

everything to get God to change his mind but he didn’t. When the baby came it was only alive for seven days, they know he was dead when they were talking to him he wouldn’t respond so they knew he was dead. After that David went and had a baby with Bathsheba and the lord loved him so he ordered Nathan to go tell them change the baby name from Solomon to Jedidiah.

proud of and have had to answer for but His blood cleanses me of my sin. The Word of God promises us that in 1 John 1:7 There is a difference between shame and guilt.

All people hold something sacred in their hearts. If they were to lose this special something, whether a person, animal, or object, they would be completely devastated. Some people can even feel as though they have lost their sense of purpose. These things provide strength, but almost always, their owners tend to grow out of them. Pearl becomes the special something to her parents, Hester Prynne and Reverend Dimmesdale, in Nathaniel Hawthorne’s The Scarlet Letter. Born out of wedlock, Pearl is…

sin.

Altogether, Dimmesdale shows great sin because he would rather torture himself in private than confess himself as an…

I admired her 5 feet 4, 120 pounds, light caramel skin, with an unquestionable pretty face – perfectly painted, and on display against a bushy, black head of hair, and a body to die for. Pretty enough, I thought, on any day she could have given Bathsheba and Delilah a run for their…
