Many who read this text think that God is somehow rejecting David or turning away from him, but this is not the case at all. God is not rejecting David but He is giving David a great insight into God’s purpose for him. David finds out what God really thinks of him. How many of us hear straight from God what He thinks of what we are doing for ourselves and our future generations? So, rather than thinking of this story as a type of rebuke to David, consider it God’s gift to David.

The kind of presuppositions we bring to the New Testament can color our view of the Bible as a whole. This is a discussion series on the more difficult passages of the New Testament that anti-nomians often use to try to take us away from Torah and lead us to “freedom.” Today, we look at 2nd Corinthians 3, which includes an involved discussion on the "new covenant," "old covenant" and a "veil" over it, "ministry of the spirit," "ministry of condemnation/death" and "ministry of righteousness." As this passage is commonly interpreted, Paul taught that Christ abolished the "old covenant," doing away with the "ceremonial law," which was anything connected to the tabernacle/temple ministry. That would include Shabbat (Sabbath) and the other "appointed times to the LORD" as well as "clean" and "unclean" foods. This discussion will explore how Paul explained himself in this letter and in other writings on the same topic.
