This is so very wrong and twisted its unreal. David did sin but did not lead a fleshly sin filled life.. he was a man after Gods own heart. and the Bible may have sex in it but its not glorified and twisted like rap songs and movies do.

oh and Moses never saw Gods face... no one has! And david did hear from God, through the Holy Spirit.

the question is... who is God to you? Your saviour and redeemer? A real Man? One that has the full armour of God on? Knowing that he is truly a man and therefore capable of wrong judgement, sin? Loved, and if asked for... forgiven? Do you believe the Word? Do you believe in fallen angels? That we are tried and tested and found within every counted hair on your head. God within every DNA strand. How you find your way to the Father? 3rd eye? blessed be :0)

you are all under the kingdom of David as promised by God :0)

why does he pick and choose evidence to agree with his theories?

the spiritual david is a veneer, but the violent david is the 'real' david.. why not just accept that he was both?

this kind of approach is so annoying

mo ham head did all of those things, enslaving innocencts,spewing violent teachings, marrying and raping children, there is no end to the influence of the evil black stone. mo ham head was an evil man responsible for the worlds most evil cult: islam

@sycamoreok your attributing your false desires to a man you have no knowledge of. Muhammad (saas) never did anything you mentioned, yes he did kill his enemies in the Battlefield, what in the world do you do in war, FIGHT, and there will be casualties. But we dont fight for this world or material gain, we fight in Allah's Path, that is the great success. Again if your Christian, please dont tell me about a JUST god? PLEASE lol.

@sycamoreok Allah simply in english translates to the phrase the One True God, Abraham is the KhalilAllah, (the Friend of Allah), and you sir have uttered such a lie against Muhammad (saas), its not him your against, you have a disease in your heart, your arrogant and full of pride, and your very a close friend to Satan wa iyadu billah.

@ViciousBeats16 as i said, hijacking the name of abraham, gabriel, etc. doesnt make it true. mohamhead was influenced only by his own perverted desires of sex,looting and violence. the evil black stone, a filthy idol, was venerated by the false prohet. he only cared about conquest and control. no merciful and just god would influence such vile behaviour

[sycamoreok]

@ViciousBeats16 david never once worshipped the god of mohamhead. every verse of the vile koran, is a perversion of the real word. no merciful god would inspire such disgust.this book is inspired by the personal desires of a warlord. a warlord who personally looted, murdered, used rape as an instrument of war, tortured and personally beheaded. a pedophile under the influence of the satanic black stone. the idol venerated by the false prophet.the god of abraham does not approve. thank you

[sycamoreok]

@ViciousBeats16 david worshipped the god of abraham. "allah" is the god of mohamhead. the koran of mohamhead is a fabrication. every verse of the vile book is a perverted hijacking of the true word. islam is based on the delusions,perverted desires, and hypocricies of a violent warlord. in an attempt to legitimize this heresy, mohamhead used abraham,gabriel, and even jesus. the black stone of satan provided the influence needed for mohamheads reign of terror. looting, raping, murdering.
