Because David was trusting in the number of people he had as his strength and wasnt trusting in God as his strength.
Yes! Also…who can truly number “Israel”…meaning who can number those who overcome with God. Only God knows…It was told to Abraham that his seed would be as the sands of the sea. Who can count that. Its a spiritual connotation.that’s why it was a great sin…Pray your in that number!
This is it in a nutshell
So the people have no freewill, they just treated as slaves? Why punish the poor people for the crimes of the King? Men, women and children struck dead by an Angel .... That is NOT justice.
@@davidarmstrong1862 do not blaspheme in matters you do not understand. David was shown the weight of His crown and the importance of His obedience and complete reliance on the true King of Israel. Israel was NOT to be like any other nation on earth because they were chosen by God and they carried His Name and reputation. The swift discipline of the Lord came because He was already upset with the people of Israel. “Again, the ANGER OF THE LORD BURNED AGAINST ISRAEL, and He incited David against them saying, ‘Go take a census of Israel and Judah’. “ now we know that the Lord is ALMIGHTY AND SOVEREIGN and His Purpose will stand. When we cross this with the same account in 1 Chronicles 21:1 we see that it was Satan who presented himself before the Lord to TEMPT DAVID TO PRIDE. Now the Lord was already angry at Israel for supporting David’s son uprising and usurping of the Throne that God himself gave to David. Judgment comes from the Lord and who are you to question what he does with your human sentiments and lack of knowledge of Heavenly Law that governs our existence? Israel was due for discipline and the Lord allowed Satan to tempt so that David could make a CHOICE. His choice would determine the fate of his countrymen. This is the burden of ALL KINGS. David chose pride and this brought judgement on the nation that was looming above them. And after David was given three options he said “I am in great distress because of the this situation. Let me fall into the hands of the Lord for His mercy is great. But do not let me fall into human hands” why would he say that? BECAUSE HE IS A MAN OF WAR AND HE KNOWS THE TERROR AND HORRORS OF WAR AND THAT THE PEOPLE WHO WAR AGAINST ISRAEL WOULD NOT SPARE ISRAEL BUT WOULD DESTROY ISRAEL DOWN TO THE LAST INHABITANT! The 70,000 lost pale in comparison to the inherent loss of the entire nation! And what did David say after this happened? “I have sinned, I, the shepherd, have done wrong, these are only sheep. What have they done? Let your hand fall on me and my family.” David, although knowing the sin of Israel by taking his throne and supporting his son’s rebellion STILL INTERCEDED ON THEIR BEHALF AND CAST THE SIN OF A NATION UPON HIM AND HIS HOUSE. The house that GOD GAVE HIM! He displayed to the Lord that He loved nothing more than the Lord Himself and the people chosen by God. His selfless sacrifice redeemed Him in the Lord’s sight. Anything other than this would not have made David worthy of the Kingdom. Moses was not permitted entry into the Promised Land because he too disobey God and used the Lord’s power unlawfully by striking the rock out of anger and impatience with the People of God when it’s not his place to do such things when God told him to simply SPEAK to the rock. You do not understand these things so do not hold yourself in contempt because you will answer to the Lord one day if you do not repent and humble yourself as King David did. You may never have been King of a nation before but you may be the head of your household. And if it you can relate more to the head of a house than the Kong of a Nation. Do not your decisions, or the decisions of the head of house, affect everyone under your care that you provide for and protect? Use wisdom when judging these situations and have righteous judgment that you may gain more understanding.
@@davidarmstrong1862what men women and children were struck down by an angel?
Because God wanted David to depend on God, not on how many soldiers he had.
Oh that makes sense now
Please have mercy on me Father in the Name of Jesus Christ our Savior
We can no sooner understand God’s wrath and judgment toward this world than we can comprehend His love and mercy to us.
Actually, in this situation, it is lack of faith in God.
Sins and idolatry separates us from GOD🙏🏼❤️🕊 Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon🙏🏼REPENT, believe in the Gospel, Be Born Again
Thanks for this message. I didn't understand God's anger towards David because of the census. Understanding God's will is most important . Doing God's will is most important.
God is sovereign 🙏💖👍
Hello Christina, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
@@trevorjennings721 Thank you. I'm doing fine. By God's grace 🙏💖👍
@@cristinadelemon6019 That’s good to know dear😊. Hope you’re having a nice and a wonderful day today??
God’s wrath and punishment seems far greater than His love for us. He allows us to exist, enjoy a few things, but then also lets us exist to go through the pain and sufferings of life, and fall victim to our emotions and temptations from the enemy, and then that eventually leads us to our own judgment and eternal punishment. I can only Hope that Christ finds something worth saving and redeeming in my wicked existence.
God allowed his son to take our place, pay a price we couldn't pay to give us the gift of salvation and adopt us into the family as fellow heirs. Faith is the only requirement. We go through trials because we allow the enemy in. Unforgiveness is the most used door by Satan to cause you harm. Pray for those who badly use you. Recognize it's Satan manipulating them to abuse you and they don't know it. God daily loads us with blessings. Thank him for them.
Amen! 🙏
And that is because you are fallen and not Holy, but one day you will be in Christ name and there will be no more sorrows
😢😢 woow

Hey, I've ALWAYS wondered abt this story. Thanks for breaking it down guys!!
Praise GOD what beautiful message of gods love
because we are sovereign individuals, God didn’t want us to have Kings or Governors, he designed us all to be rulers of the domain and to God alone worship him. You are not a number, you are unique, a living soul, worth more than the weight of the world. Be careful when you bow down to the systems of man they are contrary to All Mighty. You are not a number. You know who wants to give you numbers? The Beast
Thank You, Lord Jesus Christ, for Your wisdom tho Your servant .
HE is always right and we are always wrong
Praise The Lord Jesus Christ Amen 🙏
Praise to our Lord Jesus Christ ✝️🙏Amen.
powerful lessons, thank you so much for this lesson
Beautiful prayer at the end. Thank you.
Thank you cuz I never understood this. God bless u
Hello Tammi, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??

Well done, that was an extraordinary video.
God Bless Israel and I pray for the peace of Jerusalem and all the Jewish people 🇮🇱✡️🙏🏻♥️
If you want to know who the real David was, read the Psalms. In these he reveals his heart.
This is becoming weird. Just today I wondered why he was angry with David and not Moses, who did the same thing in the book of numbers, which I'm reading currently. (Last week, just as I wondered why Rebecca took her father's idols, a few hours later someone posted a video on it).
That is a sign that God is answering all of your questions. He is showing that He is always present in the lives of His children who love Him. Praise the Lord and God bless you.
Moses did it properly at God's command, and collected the amounts for the Tabernacle prescribed for redemption from plague. David forgot this step. Numbers 3 describes this. I think it's also mentioned in Deut. Or Lev.
@orbitingeyes2540 Thank you. It was only as I relistened to Numbers, that I realised that God orchestrated it of Moses. God bless you.
@@angelaserrone Thanks for your insight. God bless.
What did the video say about Rachel? I once read the book of Jasher that suggested that she took her father's gods because he would use them with the stars knowledge to trace where Jacob had escaped to.
It was because God had previously promised his ancestors to make them _"As countless as the stars in the sky"_ so if someone went and took a tally of all the people in the land it would come up to a finite number, (which would be relatively small by todays standards) and would directly contradict God's promise.
Then someone would be able to throw that in the face of God and use it as propaganda to try to undermine his legitimacy.
Anyways, as sovereign as God is, all I want is His perfection. 🤗
GOD IS GOD😊😊😊
Thank You 🙏
I think David didn't have time for that. It was a distraction
Joab said, "why, aren't they your servants". I agree with Joab. But I have always wondered that😊
😊
Hello Tracy, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
i think, it is because it's by the
Power of God we are saved
not by the numbers of the people,
and not by our own power are
we saved, Exodus 14:13-14,
All have sinned; this means that everyone chooses to cause their own problems. God strikes down those who set a bad example to save those who will repent. Even those who died of disease had sinned whether they knew it or not; God always asks his people to seek repentance. Yet we know that Jesus died without sin, so he was raised from the dead. This is God's promise to all who place their faith in him.
He not only forgives our sins but forgets them completely and we are righteous and blameless in His eyes when we practice righteousness.
@@ChristinaFromTH-cam That is right; I like the Carman song called "The Courtroom". It really emphasizes that all our sins are thrown into "the sea of forgetfulness", and instead our names are written in the Lamb's Book of Life.
Woman violated, all that mattered was David. Another proof that God has his favorites...
What women violated? Stop talking about things you know nothing about SMH
Here we go, a limited mordern woman trying to correct the ETERNAL CREATOR.
@@christiansoldier77 Bathsheba. Maybe you didn't read that part.
@@johnalexir7634 Where does it say she was violated??
@@christiansoldier77 ? When David committed adultery with her. It doesn't matter if it doesn't literally use the word "violate". That's what it is. David does not pretend this wasn't a sin.
GOOD WORDS
Actually, I thought that David asked the Lord to make the decision on which punishment because he (David) couldn't make that choice & relied on God's mercy.
Why was David so favored is my question.
He had a pure heart.
Because of his DNA- he was Jesus’s great great great, great great times great grandpa 14 generations
@@sarahsmileseriously yes & no. God could have chosen any one of His brothers if it’s only about genealogy. But He chose David because God sees the heart of people. God saw how David attended the sheep as a shepherd boy when no one was around. He wanted David to care for his chosen people in the same way as future king and warrior. God shows us a history of Him choosing the “weak” and unlikely of people so that He can get all the glory when they stand in victory. Hallelujah!
Because David loved the lord and he danced before the lord and God Lived him❤
Huh he joked his friend so he could have his wife. Huh.

Turin shroud and the sudarium of oviedo 👈🏿 Great bible info 🕊
Jesus would not violate the 2nd commandment and create an image of himself
Shroud of Turin is a lie from hell
Jesus was and is sinless. Keeping ALL commandments of the Father
@@ChristinaFromTH-cam Exactly. HE is the Sinless LAMB.
a lack of faith in GODs providence, with a insecure evil desire to control others
Because he didn't collect the money like he was supposed to
MONEY??? GOD DONT NEED MONEY HE IS VERY WEALTHY AND MAJESTY
HE CREATED THIS EARTH HE CAN CREATE MONEY IF HE WANT
@@Unknown-f6h5kthe money was collected for the maintenance of the tabernacle and to sustain the priests/ Levites. The latter were not to participate in any activity to earn an income of their own.
I have started to read the old testament again about a month ago. This time more carefully - what an awesome journey!
@@Unknown-f6h5k
It is all about obedience, not the money.
I feel bad for king David at times; his pride was a complete mistake, he even realized it and had to pay. The path is hard
Amen
Another aspect of a census that escapes modern readers is that rulers took censuses to set TAX ROLLS. So the desire to quantify his population implied a covetousness in King David's heart. Americans see censuses as benign, but historically they are NOT.
So God plays head games? Why would the creator of billions of suns and billions of galaxies care about some minor King’s actions, on an insignificant world, in a nothing special galaxy? Ridiculous!
If you kept up with the video, it clearly explains the WHY. Try rewatching.
Christ said 🤔 if you ask your heavenly father for food🥦 he won’t send you🐍🐍🤔
The LORD God ALMIGHTY was angry because David at that time placed his trust in his military instead of the Lord our God his God the Almighty. God forgive us all . ✝️ In Christ I pray 🙏 Thank you Jesus for being our CHRIST God with us even Forever. Selah 🥲 SHALOM Amen 💖 AMEN ✌️
I don't think he murdered Ammon. I think that was a death penalty sin.
Yahweh was angry with David’s counting of Israel because Yahweh said we
are as stars in the sky and can’t be counting. Only the Creator can know the actual number of souls. For David to number Israel makes him equal to Yahweh.
Because GOD HELP DAVID AND HIS ARMY TO WIN YET WHEN THEY RELIED ON THE SIZE OF THE ARMY...
it made God angry because God wanted them to trust in Him and not in numbers of people
sometimes God has to be God.
What does that mean exactly?...
@@DM-he1ug It means he is mysterious. You cant be certain unless he makes it known to you. Worse, you lean onto your own understanding.
Well thats treating Gods children like cattle. Moses set people free from bondage of. Evil overlords
If ya listen to the text he said the LORD was already angry with Israel before the census.
Because this omnipotent god and all knowing god did not know David was going to do it and was utterly impotent to stop it?
It is written, it's not by might, nor by power, but by my Spirit said they Lord Almighty.
King David was trusting in the strength and numbers his men, rather than God.
This story is dangerous ground for anyone clinging to the idea that there are no contradictions in the bible. In the Samuel passage where this occurs, God is behind the taking of the census; but in Chronicles where the story is retold, it's Satan behind it. The "God can use Satan to fulfil his purposes" argument does not solve it. That might possibly work in the book of Job (even there it has its problems) but it does not work with the census verses. With those, it's a question of agency: in the Samuel passage God is the source of the action, in the Chronicles passage Satan is the source of the action. Why would the account of who prompted the census be different in two different passages describing the SAME EVENT
Amman had good reason to believe his half sister Tamar was sleeping with Absalom. This is the reason he was disgusted after violating her and discovering he was right. That's why she went along with keeping silent and stayed living at Absalom's house (2 Sam.13:20). Scriptures have been slanted to hide this truth.
God was not specifically angry with David 2 cronicals says that he was angry with Israel, and permitted Satan to tempt him and withdraw his restraining influence. David was not punished Israel was but we are not told why. Sorry for any spelling errors.
Probably had something to do with Pride it comes before the Fall.
Because with GOD on your side it doesn't matter your numbers.
God commanded in Leviticus that a census be accompanied by a proper sacrifice. David did not offer one.
Exodus 30:12
“When you take the census of the children of Israel for their number, then every man shall give a ransom for himself to the LORD, when you number them, that there may be no plague among them when you number them.
You’re welcome.
I notice God gives mercy many times after someone asks for it. David asked for punishment be on him and not the people...God then stopped the plague. Interesting
Christian : Even if there are trials and heartbreak in your life...God/Jesus still loves you...he has not forgotten you.
even in his anchor.....
First of all, I praise the Lord All Mighty for the wisdom that he gave to you. Most your videos are very solid in the knowledge of the Holy Word of God.
But one thing could be improved, wich are the images or portraits of the biblical characters. You know very well David and others were not caucasians so why portray him and others like that?
Remember, Jesus Christ said hilmself, I am the path, the truth and the life.
God bless you in Jesus Christ name, amen. Please, continue the good work you've been doing. Shalom Adonai
Because God didnt tell him to. Gods control works out. Davids control doesnt.And the people followed him instead of God. Just because David tried to take all the blame doesnt mean it was true. God doesnt abuse innocent people, announcer! .... this was a huge undertaking and wrong timing may have caused huge problems. Numbering people was also a prelude to war, I wonder what the people thought.
Before I watch the video
David was counting for his own ego … this was not unctioned
Remember when David was a a harp playing shepherd and he was sung about how many he slewed … DAVID DIDNT CARE ABOUT THAT BACK THEN BECAUSE HE WAS UNDER THE ANOINTING OF GOD
..why not??
I think it is Soul
It's not a sin to COUNT the people. The sin is...NOT COLLECTING MONEY for those counted. See Exodus 30:11-16.
God does NOT have to COMMAND David to take a census. Exodus 30 does not COMMAND Moses to take a count, either. IT states WHEN you take a census, not a command to TAKE A CENSUS. And 2 Samuel 24, God "moved" David to take a count, not God commanded David to take a count.
God's anger was with Israel, not David. Satan, on the other hand, just wanted to get David into trouble SO THAT Israel would be killed!
But there are DIFFERENCES between the 2 accounts. They are not the same account.
For my comment here, I don't care about the count number in either case. But, below are the OTHER differences:
For example:
In 2 Samuel 24:13, God gave David 3 choices of punishment:
*1. 7 *(SEVEN) years famine, or
**2. 3 years *(YEARS) fleeing from enemies, or
3. 3 days pestilence
But in 1 Chronicles 21:12 God also gave David 3 choices of punishment:
*1. 3*(THREE) years famine, or
**2. 3 months *(MONTHS) overtaken by enemies
3. 3 days pestilence
That's a major difference, not to mention the other differences in the census, as well as the CURRENCY and amount needed for the THRESHING FLOOR in order to STOP the pestilence.
Threshing Floor (Belonging to Ornan) 1 Chronicles 21:25: *600 Shekels of Gold.
Threshing Floor (Belonging to Araunah) 2 Samuel 22:24: **50 shekels of Silver.
My reference is the KJV, but I do know, and am aware of other versions of the Bible, such as the NIV, which makes everything the SAME account. For example...2 Samuel 24:13 shows THREE YEARS FAMINE instead of SEVEN, which would make both accounts the same...except for the currency and amount, and who the threshing floor belonged to. Those are still different, reflecting the same as the KJV.
Having said all that...Numbering the people is NOT the sin.
1 John 3:4 states that sin is the transgression of the law [of Moses].
Romans 3:20 states that the law [of Moses] is the knowledge of sin.
So, we have to take it back to the law of Moses in order to determine WHAT the sin actually is.
Exodus 30:11-16
11 And the Lord spake unto Moses, saying,
12 When thou takest the sum of the children of Israel after their number, then shall they give every man a ransom for his soul unto the Lord, when thou numberest them; that there be no plague among them, when thou numberest them.
NOTE: DID YOU SEE THE WORD PLAGUE IN VERSE 12?
13 This they shall give, every one that passeth among them that are numbered, half a shekel after the shekel of the sanctuary: (a shekel is twenty gerahs:) an half shekel shall be the offering of the Lord.
14 Every one that passeth among them that are numbered, from twenty years old and above, shall give an offering unto the Lord.
15 The rich shall not give more, and the poor shall not give less than half a shekel, when they give an offering unto the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls.
16 And thou shalt take the atonement money of the children of Israel, and shalt appoint it for the service of the tabernacle of the congregation; that it may be a memorial unto the children of Israel before the Lord, to make an atonement for your souls.
Numbering the people is not the sin. Neglecting to COLLECT MONEY FROM THE PEOPLE COUNTED is the sin.
Or maybe the writer of Samuel thought God said to do it but the writer of Chronicles thought the satan said to do it. Simple as that and easy enough to confuse as in this Old Testament period the satan was a part of the divine council and not in opposition to God as would develop in New Testament writings.
Very informative but noticing we're almost exclusively talking about the measure and intricacies of God's wrath instead of his love a lot here lately and it's just kind of concerning now
Because He IS ALSO A JUST GOD…HIS WRATH IS ALL THROUGH THE BIBLE. ITS A DISSERVICE TO SOULS TO OMIT PARTS….THERE ARE ETERNAL CONSEQUENCES…FACING CONSEQUENCES HERE IS FAR BETTER FOR US ALL IN THE LONG RUN…
@@mistymeasles2527 umm I'm not saying to omit parts but why can't we hear more about God's immeasurable love for us too?? Like we get it, he's just. But all we're hearing about is "FEAR!! FEAR!! FEAR!!" Troughout the past several, if not most of what we're being beaten over the head with his wrath. Let's talk about his love too now. The way this channel is making God seem like he's some borderline abusive and hot tempered God and then thatsit...like, you can be a Christian without being a masochist and a walking sack of guilt and trembling all the time. It's unhealthy and discouraging to hear nothing about damnatiom and agony from God's anger. Seriously. Would like to see this channel. Finally fornonce talk about his unconditional, deep, healing love and the joy he wants his believers to heal with. Just dies not mean nothing but discipline and agony. That's not what the God I know wants for me or anyone except the wicked
@mistymeasles2527 I'm not saying omit anything??? I just mean in the same amount of time we could have explored and explained the measure and complexities of his equal love...which is also throughout the Bible. And why are you typing in all caps??
@@HalcyonxTeatreemaybe because there are many people who need to hear about the wrath and/or discipline of God. Most know about the love of God thinking that God is only about that. A lot of people will live differently if they realise that there are consequences for disobeying God's Word. Many live lives pleasing satan thinking that God will be okay with it because "He is love" and "He understands". God is LOVE but HE is also a jealous God Who should be feared.
@elizabethrothman9974 but everybody knows he's wrathful too but is it a sin or heresy to explore and explain his love?? No. Is it a sin to put out almost nothing but fear about him?...yes. I'd say so.
Easy. There is a command from back in Leviticus and again in Numbers 3 that the enumerated must be redeemed from plague by a small tax to support the Tabernacle and the priesthood. David forgot to collect the redemption.
Ok see this doesn’t answer it for me (then again I haven’t finished watching) because God said in 2 Samuel 24:1 …”Go, count Israel and Judah” God asked David to count Israel and Judah
even the title is wrong.
Or just it's all one entity?
Because David was starting to drool over being a powerful military leader, rather than a humble servant of God.
Why did Jesus die on the cross
john 3:16
John 16: 7 Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. 8 And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: 9 Of sin, because they believe not on me; 10 Of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; 11 Of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged. (Daniel 7: 9-14, 10/12/26) 12 I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now.
devil makes us suffer not GOD who ever said we have to suffer thats a lie
Legalnamefraud...the biggest mistake man made...to go against he that is
Consult God Almighty
So are you going to explain why king David did not judge his children ? Are you going to tell us what the punishment was for king david for that offence if there was one? Because i dont think you know what your talking about.
Daniel 12:8-10
I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things? He said, Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.
Revelation 3:18-19
I counsel you to buy from me gold refined by fire, so that you may be rich, and white garments so that you may clothe yourself and the shame of your nakedness may not be seen, and salve to anoint your eyes, so that you may see. Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline, so be zealous and repent.
2 Peter 3:9
The Lord is not slow to fulfill his promise as some count slowness, but is patient toward you, not wishing that any should perish, but that all should reach repentance.
John 15:2
Every branch in me that does not bear fruit he takes away, and every branch that does bear fruit he prunes, that it may bear more fruit.
Matthew 3:10
Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.
Hebrews 6:8
If it bears thorns and thistles, it is worthless and near to being cursed, and its end is to be burned.
Isaiah 5:18
Woe to those who draw iniquity with cords of falsehood, who draw sin as with cart ropes,
Zephaniah 1:12
At that time I will search Jerusalem with lamps, and I will punish the men who are complacent, those who say in their hearts, ‘The Lord will not do good, nor will he do ill.’
Malachi 4:1
For behold, the day is coming, burning like an oven, when all the arrogant and all evildoers will be stubble. The day that is coming shall set them ablaze, says the Lord of hosts, so that it will leave them neither root nor branch.
Hosea 14:9
Whoever is wise, let him understand these things; whoever is discerning, let him know them; for the ways of the Lord are right, and the upright walk in them, but transgressors stumble in them.
Proverbs 10:29
The way of the Lord is a stronghold to the blameless, but destruction to evildoers.
Psalm 107:43
Whoever is wise, let him attend to these things; let them consider the steadfast love of the Lord.
Psalm 19:7-9
The law of the Lord is perfect, reviving the soul; the testimony of the Lord is sure, making wise the simple; the precepts of the Lord are right, rejoicing the heart; the commandment of the Lord is pure, enlightening the eyes; the fear of the Lord is clean, enduring forever; the rules of the Lord are true, and righteous altogether.
Isaiah 26:4
Trust in the Lord forever, for the Lord God is an everlasting rock.
Isaiah 12:2
Behold, God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid; for the Lord God is my strength and my song, and he has become my salvation.

It's for a tax
The flashing makes this unwatchable. This should have a seizure warning.
Hello Eve, how are you doing today, hope you’re fine and safe from the COVID-19 virus??
God rules from love not fear.
The God of the Bible is pure evil. Absolutely vile
Fear of the Lord is the beginning of wisdom.
Don't fear MSN who can only destroy the body, but rather fear God who can destroy both body and soul in gehenna.
And King David was A MAN AFTER GOD’S OWN HEART….INTERESTING,HUH🤔
23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God; Romans 3:23 KJV
Exodus chapter 30, verse 12, states that it was ok to take a census, but a half shekel of silver had to be paid for every head counted and David did not do this
Does'nt just about everything piss off God at some point??😅😅
Ahhh yes, the laughing idiot emojis. The universal sign of a flaming fidiot.
I don’t know of anyone with kids who ever lived a single day without getting annoyed and frustrated by what they do. Same with God, except he has billions of children, so yeah, I can see why a lot of things upset him, and understand even more how and why he extends his love and mercy towards us.
They cannot understand that God’s word is spoken through Jesus (John 8):
“Why do ye not understand my speech? It is because ye cannot hear my word” (John 8:43). Jesus tells the Jews this because they do not realize it is God who speaks through Jesus. Instead, they speak against Jesus’ words and will speak the lies of their father the devil (John 8:44). People do the same today, but in different ways. Just as the Jews didn’t realize that Jesus was speaking about the Father then (John 8:27), they do not believe it today and instead continue to preach that Jesus is God.
The world cannot grasp that Jesus can do nothing of his own power and authority (John 8:28). They claim to be “saved,” but they do not have the Holy Spirit to reveal the truth to them. All that Jesus has-his power, spirit, life, and words-has come from God the Father. Only those who believe Jesus came forth from God will see the Father plainly one day (John 16:25-28). Anything else is calling them both liars, and leads to hell for all eternity. Repent, and God the Father will forgive-before it’s too late.
Can Christian’s take the census ?
God sees the heart (intent), behind man's actions. David ordered the census, not God. Sin is not just what we call evil, it's doing anything in a way God did not intend. Remember David wanted to know how many veteran warriors and total arms-bearing age men he had. The size of your military was a source of pride in the ancient world. God already knew the answer, David wanted to know for his own pride.
Now I get it david having a homosexual relationship our him sending his friend to the front line of battle so he would be killed and david have his wife was cool but taking the census was bad in god’s eyes makes more sense now
because the jew rewritten story shows david as a hero but in fact he was the evil there. census is a titan - ancient civilisation of humans and they were murdered and erased from the earth
Novo Nebo moje.
There is no logical reason
This makes no sense
Disobedience
Hey Jesus, sorry I’m so stupid.
😐same reason He’s mad at YOU ppl For doing it. Because you can’t count Gods money. His heritage His bride. His first born. It’s none of your business.
King David didn't commit adultery. Uriah was a closet h---------- and had not consummated his marriage to Bathsheba; she was still a virgin. Hence the only way she could report him was to get David's attention up on that roof. Had Uriah caught wind that she was attempting to expose him, Uriah would have forced himself on her to protect his secret. King David erred in that he had Uriah killed by the sword of an Ammonite rather than stoning by the community as the law demanded. Also, Bathsheba was to have waited until after the evening sacrifice when she would have been totally purified from her menses; hence EL YAHAWAH killed the child she bore from David as it was conceived in (spiritual) uncleanness.
