^ I don't agree with that Rabbi on that point. (See how it
goes? I don't think he's that sensible, so I'll trust him less
on other things.) I might concede that David would have
wanted to commit adultery and failed the test that way. Of
course, you are free to agree with him, James. What I think
probably isn't going to change what really happened -- I don't
take my own opinions that seriously.
I found an article, but the author doesn't give the original
sources (not that I could find):
HTML http://jwa.org/encyclopedia/article/bathsheba-midrash-and-aggadah<br
/>
I also found this, but they also don't cite the sources:

Read that Kerry and saw some things in a new light, have
bookmarked the sites for any future reference.
This quote from Elisha spoken to Elijah -:[color=black]As the
LORD liveth, and as thy soul liveth,
It seems on the face of it to not differ greatly from what Uriah
said to David, am I missing something because I do not
understand the context or the Jewish way of seeing
things.Quote-:as thou livest, and as thy soul liveth

^ It appears to be the same to me, James. It's an oath. The
difference may have been swearing on the life of the king. But
I found in another place someone else swears by the life of
David.
2 Samuel 15:21 And Ittai answered the king, and said, As the
Lord liveth, and as my lord the king liveth, surely in what
place my lord the king shall be, whether in death or life, even
there also will thy servant be.
Could the difference be that Uriah was disobeying David and
swearing that he would definitely disobey?
Now you have me wondering if what I believed (not sure I still
do) is right. Maybe it was an oath (seems impious to me
though) but not blasphemy?

That is why I am sure that Proverbs says iron sharpeneth iron.
[color=black]Prov27: 17 Iron sharpeneth iron; so a man
sharpeneth the countenance of his friend.
One gets to chatting about something and one soon sees a little
more light, sometimes the light is coming through very large
holes that another has shot right through one of my pet, firm,
never to be shaken beliefs.
God is so good.

Dear All,
The Spirit and power of Elijah was simply the Holy Spirit i.e.
God. The model is that God wants to indwell us if we ask Him to
do so. God was upon John the Baptish but when His ministry was
done the came upon and indwelt Jesus at the River Jordan. This
is why John decreased while Jesus increased. The Spirit and
power of Elijah, God, left Jesus on the cross and this is why
Jesus cried, "My God, my God, why have you forsaken me?"
The problem is, and hence why there is so much confusion, is
that many are not filled with the Spirit and thus do not have
that light to understand what He is saying. We must ask for the
gift of the infilling of His Spirit so that, by measure, that
same Spirit that raised Christ from the dead may dwell in us.
Blessings,
Justin

[quote]Why King Arthur, I had always thought of him as a myth,
then they brought out the film that portrayed him as Roman
General left here when the Romans returned to their native land.
I do not know if such is true but it does make a nice
story.[/quote]
I thought that I would answer this, James. King Arthur was,
historically, a Roman knight that did service in Britain at the
end of the Roman occupation of England. The latest film showing
Arthur as a Roman knight is the most plausible retelling of the
story. Cinematically, the last scenes showing the battle of
Badon Hill are entirely fictional but is quite good.

I would agree, James.

Amen, Justin.
