about David
many westerners and Christians and Jews and Moslems would recognize various things about the famous ruler in Palestine, David, a central figure to Jews and one that features prominently in the old testament of the christians, which is a sacred book among the Jews..... however, it is unlikely that today's westerner, whether he's a moslem, jew or christian, could easily imagine having over six wives.... maybe a non-western moslem with four wives could understand this, maybe a saudi..... but in the west, the practice of polygamy is practically a taboo, it's difficult for us to imagine David's times............ below is a quote from Wikipedia about David committing adultery and then having his girlfriend's husband murdered (David is in a position of authority on a temporal level:
David committed adultery with Bathsheba, the wife of Uriah the Hittite.[12] Bathsheba became pregnant. David sent for Uriah, who was with the Israelite army at the siege of Rabbah, so that he could sleep with his wife and conceal the identity of the child's father. Uriah refused to do so while his companions are in the field of battle and David sent him back to Joab, the commander, with a message instructing him to ensure that Uriah died in battle. David married Bathsheba and she bore his child, "but the thing that David had done displeased the Lord."[13] The prophet Nathan confronted David, saying: "Why have you despised the word of God, to do what is evil in his sight? You have smitten Uriah the Hittite with the sword, and have taken his wife to be your wife." Nathan presented three punishments from God. First, that the "sword shall never depart from your house" (2 Samuel 12:10); second, that "Before your very eyes I will take your wives and give them to one who is close to you, and he will sleep with your wives in broad daylight", and finally, that "the son born to you will die"
It's an interesting story, with regard to the linking of David to Jesus, the Jews are quite right to reject this, it is utterly fallacious the most of it, i find it extremely unlikely that Jesus' mother, Mary, was descended from king David, primarily because Mary was an Essene and a gentile and not a Jew and Jesus' father is God and God is not a Jew either, what's interesting is to consider what kind of DNA Jesus received from his Father (God or some kind of Godhead important spiritual power for Good 'the Holy Spirit').... whatever DNA Jesus got from his Father, must have only strengthened his Faith to invoke natural laws (miracles) and to avoid sin..... the notion that Jesus was jewish is utterly fallacious and is like saying a Canadian is a U.S. citizen because both of them are North Americans, the custom in Jesus' time was for everyone to submit to local jewish rule which meant getting circumcised, the alternative today for non jews in Israel, is to submit to Jewish rule, however it probably no longer requires circumcision but Jews still run the show there as they did 2000 years ago.
The lives of David, a jew, and Jesus, an aryan gentile with half his DNA from God, probably not jewish DNA either, couldn't be any more opposite and it's difficult again to understand the ignorance that seeks to combine and link these two characters together in a worldly sense..... chalk it up to garble.....the two could not be any more different in a wordly way.......David is a sinner (compared to Jesus) and is a ruler (Jesus is not), has many wives (Jesus had none), many children (Jesus had none), is enmeshed in politics and warring and ruling, Jesus isn't......... the two just are not similar at all...... Jesus' legacy today is primarily in various churches which are completely optional these days, most western people find the idea of a man being born from a divinely impregnated virgin to be alien but think nothing of being fat and watching stupid tv shows all day long, in India, this idea is nothing new and Krishna is also said to have been born the same way, which, in fact, he was.
But really, all we wanted to say, not really mentioned above, although we mentioned the above in case it's of interest to you, the reader, what we really wanted to say about the quote from wikipedia, if this is true, that God is displeased by David's actions, it begs the question: is God ever really pleased, and how can we please God?........ let's put it more scientifically, and say that by harmonizing with Cosmic Laws, God is pleased, in other words, by living in Harmony with Cosmic Law, this is Good, by living in disharmony with Cosmic Law, this is bad....... putting it like this takes away the idea of a personal fat guy with a beard kind of Jewish slob of a God and instead gives us the notion of a giant microwave emitting broadcast tower of a God that is emitting vibrations left, right and center, which you either harmonize with and triumph, or your dog eats your instruction manual and you fail............ this then, begs the question again, is God ever really pleased?
If God is always so displeased, shouldn't we just chop our fingers off, offer them up to God and say, "there, are you happy now bitch?" Is God an angry african-american woman? in other words, not a nice one like Oprah, but a really sassy, bitter, angry one? Often it does in fact seem that that is the case......... we should offer God some KFC and compliment God on her looks despite her being obviously overweight and give God some Beyonce CDs and God will be pleased because God is just an angry, fat, african american woman that drove her good for nothing husband away and feeds her children coca-cola for breakfast, lunch and tea and voted for Obama coz he's black...........
in fact, in the Bible, Jesus even says: if your eye offends you, pluck it out......... see, God will be pleased by this because God hates you, and if you're happy, it won't last, you'll end up dying anyway and you won't remember a moment of your happiness, your happiness is meaningless, and if you suffer, at least God will be pleased, being (at least in part), an african american woman that hates everything and everyone (except for Oprah because she's rich and has Gayle who also has a positive disposition due to being extremely wealthy)
