Season 2 Episode 24 - The True Story of King David and Queen Bathsheba

<p>Hello Everyone, and welcome to my show today. A longtime friend from Old Progress Cumberland Church near Pleasant Hill, Louisiana, called me the other day and asked me about my Grandmother, the Reverend Ada Slaton Bonds, and how in the world she found forgiveness over and over. They had just finished reading my novel, <a href="https://books2read.com/u/bw29eZ"><strong>Faith – Seventy Times Seven.</strong></a> It brought to my mind how we all study the Bible.</p> <p>I remember standing in a jewelry store a few days ago, and a young girl walked up to her mother and asked, "Mommy, why is that man hanging on a cross?" Later that day, I heard a song on a gospel music station called Jesus is King. I never had in the past, but this time I somewhat wondered to myself, "King of what?" And lastly, there was a quote on my Facebook Page that said, "Jesus is the Answer!" I don't know why, but I had to stop what I was doing and contemplate, "What was the question?" Depending on who you ask, you will get different answers to the question let me ask you. "Did King David commit adultery? Did he actually sin with Bathsheba?" &nbsp;Oh, and yes, <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/David"><strong>King David</strong></a> is the same man who killed the giant with a slingshot!</p> <p>Let me begin by First saying, as a general rule, you read the scripture. This is what I did when I wrote <a href="https://books2read.com/u/mKx265"><strong>"Genesis,"</strong> <strong>"Seeing the Power of God,"</strong></a> <a href="https://books2read.com/u/49QJeX"><strong>"Hallelujah,"</strong></a> and <a href="https://books.apple.com/us/book/faith-seventy-times-seven/id1482318077"><strong>"Faith – Seventy Times Seven."</strong></a> After this first time reading the scripture, which is the subject of my Podcast today, King David and Bathsheba, you come away with an individual reflection of what you just read, and this first reflection is how the book was written and how many people define what they read as gospel.</p> <p>But, now, I ask you to go back,
