When God’s Justice Is Questioned. Part [13] 10/18/2025 (Evening thought)

2nd Samuel 11:3 And David sent and enquired after the woman. And one said, Is not this Bathsheba, the daughter of Eliam, the wife of Uriah the Hittite?

Curiosity: A strong desire or interest in something or someone that leads to inquiry. Again, there are currently over 7000 languages in the world today, and they all came about as the result of curiosity. After the flood, men refused to believe God and thus, one of the reasons why the tower of babel was built was to satisfy their own curiosity as to why the earth had overflowed with a flood.

[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 119] Many of them denied the existence of God and attributed the Flood to the operation of natural causes. One object before them in the erection of the tower was to secure their own safety in case of another deluge. And as they would be able to ascend to the region of the clouds, they hoped to ascertain the cause of the Flood. When the tower had been partially completed, a portion of it was occupied as a dwelling place for the builders.

Other apartments, splendidly furnished and adorned, were devoted to their idols. The people rejoiced in their success, and praised the gods of silver and gold, and set themselves against the Ruler of heaven and earth. Suddenly the work that had been advancing so prosperously was checked. Angels were sent to bring to naught the purpose of the builders. The tower had reached a lofty height, and it was impossible for the workmen at the top to communicate directly with those at the base.

Genesis 11: 9 Therefore is the name of it called Babel; because the Lord did there confound the language of all the earth: and from thence did the Lord scatter them abroad upon the face of all the  earth.

May God add His blessing to the study of His word. “Good night” and God bless!

When God’s Justice Is Questioned. Part [12] 10/17/2025 (Morning thought)

Genesis 3:6 And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat.

[Patriarchs & Prophets pp 53] Unmindful of the angels’ caution, she soon found herself gazing with mingled curiosity and admiration upon the forbidden tree. The fruit was very beautiful, and she questioned with herself why God had withheld it from them. Now was the tempter’s opportunity…. Again, David’s sin with Bathsheba began with his curiosity, for when he beheld her stunning beauty he became curious.

And instead of denying self, and stifling his urge to merge he proceeds further as he went on to enquire about her. Therefore, according to the sacred history, in very many cases, the Christian’s downfall could often be traced right back to the point of curiosity…. If David was walking down on South Beach, folks would say that he went looking for trouble, but he was on his roof.

And thus, up until this point it was not a sin, because the Christian man, or woman may not always be able to avoid seeing beautiful persons of the opposite sex. The problem begins when your curiosity comes into play, and through the freedom of choice you make a deliberate decision to enquire. It’s fitting that we hit pause and check in with the dictionary to find out the meaning of curiosity.

2nd Samuel 11: 2 And it came to pass in an evening-tide, that David arose from off his bed, and walked upon the roof of the king's house: and from the roof he saw a woman washing herself; and the woman was very beautiful to look upon.

May The Lord add His blessing to the study of His word. God bless!
