olpo25 said: I'm convinced that the only reasonable conclusion to make in this case is that God can and sometimes will override His own law in an individual case. What applied for King David certainly did not apply for the masses even though punishment was certainly inflicted here by God having taken the life of David's infant child. olpo, We should not confuse/impose those laws which pertain to how man is to conduct himself in the world with God's eternal moral law. God forbids murder, which He Himself cannot do, but the command to execute a murderer within society is not applicable to God. He may intervene and take the life of any man since "life" only exists as God sustains it. Case and point, there are a couple of obvious examples where God, the Lord Christ, did not demand the death penalty where the civil law clearly demanded it. 1) The Samaritan woman (Jh 4) who was living in adultery and 2) the couple caught in the very act of fornication/adultery (Jh 8). <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/idea.gif" alt="" /> In His grace,
