wah lan aye, you got a strange way of intepreting this passage...what this passage is really saying that do not commit adultery, otherwise God will punish you leh...
you should continue reading the bible to the end but not just stop at the beginning my boy.
new testaments got more revelant and interesting stuffs.
old testaments are mostly historical records and stories, but the Psalms and Proverbs are very beautiful.
yah what a great man the messenger of god is, to give his wife to others to protect his ass. in what way is that a strange interpretation? that is what the story is about isn't it?
to the extend he was coward enough to ask his wife, to say she was her sister NOT HIS WIFE so that he will not be killed. trying to your way out to justify rubbish in the bible?
so the old testament are irrevelant ? glad you know at least more than half of the book is rubbish and yet you guys held it with such high regards.
psalms and proverb are beautiful? fine let me quote a juicy story from psalms to wake your idea up with regards to this lustful book.
Psalm 51 (New International Version)
For the director of music. A psalm of David. When the prophet Nathan came to him after David had committed adultery with Bathsheba.
Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your unfailing love;
according to your great compassion
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash away all my iniquity
and cleanse me from my sin.
3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is always before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you are proved right when you speak
and justified when you judge.
5 Surely I was sinful at birth,
sinful from the time my mother conceived me.
6 Surely you desire truth in the inner parts [a] ;
you teach
me wisdom in the inmost place.
7 Cleanse me with hyssop, and I will be clean;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones you have crushed rejoice.
9 Hide your face from my sins
and blot out all my iniquity.
10 Create in me a pure heart, O God,
and renew a steadfast spirit within me.
11 Do not cast me from your presence
or take your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation
and grant me a willing spirit, to sustain me.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will turn back to you.
14 Save me from bloodguilt, O God,
the God who saves me,
and my tongue will sing of your righteousness.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 You do not delight in sacrifice, or I would bring it;
you do not take pleasure in burnt offerings.
17 The sacrifices of God are [c] a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.
18 In your good pleasure make Zion prosper;
build up the walls of Jerusalem.
19 Then there will be righteous sacrifices,
whole burnt offerings to delight you;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
