lihlih has misrepresented what happened in the story as well as the reason for why the child was killed in order to push a narrative.

For those not in the know, the basic story being referred to here is when King David saw the wife of another man by the name of Bathsheba. He desired Bathsheba despite having wives of his own. Bathsheba was married to a man named Uriah and David decided to do away with Uriah so that Bathsheba would be single again (and thusly he could marry her). So he ordered that he intentionally be placed in the thick of the fighting and then fall back, leaving Uriah to be killed. Now single David quickly took Bathsheba for himself. God was furious with David for doing this and sent a prophet (Nathan) to condemn David for this deed. As punishment for David's actions and as atonement for the sin the life of the newly born child was taken away causing David grief.

So the child was NOT 'aborted' (it had already been born). It was NOT killed because it had been conceived out of wedlock. The child of David and Bathsheba died because David had broken one of the ten commandments (Thou Shalt not Covet Thy Neighbors Wife), effectively murdered her husband (another commandment violation there), and all while having women of his own. This story in the Bible has nothing to do with abortion in any capacity other than that a baby was involved.

It's important to actually know what you are talking about. Depending on how canonical you view the Old Testament this is either a parable meant to teach against a covetous nature or an example of what happens when you display such a nature. Additionally it reminds that there is no such thing as a 'secret sin' since, even if no one else knows what you did, God knows. Secondly, God WILL forgive (David WAS forgiven for his sin in the story), BUT just because a sin is forgiven doesn't mean that there won't be consequences for that sin (David still lost the child). Finally, it's extremely unlikely that God had anything out for either Bathsheba or her son in this case since the blame is not only placed squarely on David's shoulders but Bathsheba's next son would be Solomon who would serve as David's heir.

This is basically like saying that, because Batman fights Poison Ivy, he supports deforesting the Amazon.


Bruh, you're religious, but don't even know the Bible as much an atheist? David got Batheshba pregnant first, then tried to cover up the fact by trying to give her husband some time off to "spend with his wife". Only thing is, he was so loyal to his fellow soldiers that he refused to leave their side. Which is why David had him go on the front lines to die.

Also, the baby was born of sin, regardless of what sin was, and why does it matter if God murdered the baby or aborted the baby before it was born? Don't you religious types say that abortion is the same as murder? Or do you think actual murder is not as bad as abortion?
