Inerrant Lie #5

Another lie from "God's ineffable, inerrant word":

Psalm 51 is sub- titled "A psalm of David, when Nathan the prophet came unto him, after he had gone in to Bath- Sheba." Notice two things: this psalm is written not only after Davey's adulterous fling with Bath- Sheba and the subsequent murder of Uriah the Hittite; but also after the LORD sent Nathan to reprove and curse him for his indiscretion.

The lie occurs in the beginning of verse 4. Davey writes, "Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight..." The rest of the verse is sheer lunacy. To be sure, Davey's disgraceful behavior "graced" more than God only.

Bath- Sheba was humbled by her king (2 Samuel 11:4). Uriah-- one of Davey's thirty mightiest-- was murdered by his king. Joab-- whom Davey was ever- fond of cursing for doing his job as general of Davey's army-- was compelled to commit cold- blooded, premeditated murder on behalf of the king who cursed him as a murderer (those times when Joab killed scoundrels for justice and the kingdom's sake). Though, in this case, Davey blessed Joab for murdering a better man than his strange, sweet king.

Also, the messenger who brought the "sweet psalmist of Israel" word of Uriah's demise from Joab on the front line was clued- in to Davey's treachery by Joab (2 Samuel 11:19- 21). Then, of course, there was Nathan who was tasked with rebuking and cursing his king (2 Samuel 12:1- 10): obviously he was clued- in by someone. 

And these are only some of the witnesses the scribes recorded as such. [They may have known of more than their pens told of-- as is often the case in courts, like Davey's, where messengers are too- often killed for doing their job.]

So it's a bald- faced lie when the King of the Jews so addresses God in Psalm 51: "Against thee, thee only, have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight..." The caveat is: How could “God's word” begin to be inerrant without allowing false prophets like Davey to lie for the sake of posterity and our understanding of the adversary? As the rock 'n' roll prophets say, "Know your enemy."
