Over at Desiring God, they have a nice little piece up called You Aren't Safe From Adultery. It's good in terms of its message, but there is this little thing:
David was born again.
That's King David. I wasn't aware that folks could be retroactively born again. Isn't this a process that occurs after Jesus makes it possible through His death and resurrection?
Not that I'd be upset to find out I'm wrong.
As a side note, it's a good thing to understand that when David saw Bathsheba, he knew she wanted him. Considering the local conditions and the customs of the time, she was not just accidentally being spied upon, but actively exhibiting herself to the king. With this knowledge, and David knowing exactly how far away her husband was, the level of temptation was higher than we traditionally consider it.
