Unlocking the Old Testament Part 21 - 1 & 2 Samuel 2

[@abufahbundeh4586]

Brother David Pawson, I am confident heaven still rejoices not only because of your appearing before the King of glory, but equally at the many heavenly treasures the Spirit of God made you to prepare for His church even before you departed to glory. We are eternally grateful to the Lord Almighty for such a blessing. . To God be the glory great things He has done and continue to do in Jesus’ name

[@christopherloh936]

Another great summary from David Pawson! Such anointed teacher in bringing the bible alive. I learnt so much from this video. Esp the 6 ways of reading the bible. I hope and pray these videos will be here for the next generation and beyond.

[@justinchamberlain3443]

4:40 *Absolutely fascinating point! 6 different way to read/analyze/apply to oneself that he has discovered in his vast yrs of study..* 10:20 The only person in the Old Testament who there was not a single fault mentioned.. 11:35 “God looks upon the heart”; “but for years he only had God to talk to or to sing to.” “But the key to David’s life was how many times it says that he ‘inquired of the Lord’”. 14:02 “He had a heart for God and he loved honoring other ppl” 14:24 Mary prays Hannah’s prayer. Pawson refereed to it as the song “magnificant”. *Review Abigail as well 18:50 The damage of higher criticism in seminary’s.. 20:00 “Theological cemeteries” -NT 98% accurate 20:45 Gets into the Dead Sea scrolls.. -Isaiah copy was 1000 yrs older than the copy that we had presently @ that time! 24:01 The real way to read these books is to find out what you can about God!

[@YVONNE-kd7sd]

Powerful.Thank you Brother David

[@graceyow3392]

12:26 david not only inquired of the lord for decisions to be made but asked for understanding to be given to him as he meditates on his word. we all need to ask god to give us the understanding of what he has written and not be content with our nor the scholars' nor the pastors' nor the religious teachers' opinions.

David, you made a mistake, it wasn’t Abigail’s father, but her husband who offended King David.

That wasn't Abigail's father but husband, Mr Pawson made a mistake there.

[@univandi]

That's right

[@grahamflaws7813]

Heh... David also called Samson a Nazarene instead of Nazirite. Not a big mistake though. He cerainly is a very good teacher and I'm enjoying this series very much.

[@johnrlilley5093]

Yes, indeed. Another mistake was Daniel too was an OT character found without fault.

[@Scripture-Man]

Yes I can think of other men whose faults were not mentioned - particularly Lot - the only other man besides Jesus which the New Testament calls "righteous". But I love Mr Pawson and have received a great deal of wisdom from him. As he himself teaches: wisdom is far more important than merely knowledge of facts.

[@simonaclarisaghenea2182]

Indeed !

[@Ukman1982]

Moses also married outside his race and God didn't have a problem with that. In fact God punished Aaron and Miriam, Moses's brother and sister, for ridiculing him over it.

[@elyhew7232]

[@amcds2867]

I'm doing the entire series and loving it. David is a great teacher, but he is incorrect in 10:37 when he says Joseph is the only man apart from Jesus in the Bible that is presented without a fault. Enoch is mentioned very briefly as a good man, such a good man that he is removed from the world by GOD. Joseph on the other hand did in fact commit a sin in the story we read of his life: he lied when he accused Benjamin of trying to steal from the palace. We all know what Joseph's intention was, and it was a good one, but he sinned none the less. Besides Jesus the 2 people in the Bible i admire most are Joseph and David.

You are right! It is in 1Samuel 25:3 and his name is Nabal.

[@chegadesuade]

10:20 Can somebody please help me understand this part? He said the only person in the OT without any faults was Joseph, but Enoch and Noah both also come to mind for me. Also, I thought Joseph committed the fault of pride by sharing his dream with his brothers, am I mistaken?

[@DavidPawsonMinistry]

I agree with you - let me say there are many great men in the OT - to name but 2 Enoch and Elijah did not see death but were taken up into heaven. David is teaching there are many ways to study the Bible and why its good to study the characters in the Bible, it was James who said the Bible is like a mirror nd you see yourself in it ad you learn - the Bible gives peoples good points and their bad points. their successes and their failures David was using Joseph as a reason why to study the characters of the Bible ...... it is widely accepted Josephs life mirrors Jesus in many ways, David he then summarises Sauls character and compares Saul to David .....David compares Hannah to Mary etc It is widely accepted that there are many similarities between Joseph and Jesus - Joseph shared many of the same life experiences as Jesus. Sold for money, raised from the pit, falsely accused, resisted temptation, foretold the future , provided for people in need, was not recognised, hated despised and humiliated etc . That said you are correct and I believe if David was with us now he would agree whole heartedly with you - that he was using a bit of poetic license and was not strictly correct in saying Joseph was the only man presented to us without a fault - thank you for pointing this out -

[@chegadesuade]

@@DavidPawsonMinistry Your response was incredibly thoughtful and makes good sense, it reminds me of how David Pawson talked about the importance of reading Bible from multiple perspectives and asking ourselves what the intended message is. I took his words too literally and nearly missed the message; I believe David would've responded the way you did, thank you for helping a fellow believer.

[@davidparker1729]

Why, Oh why, Oh why are we infested by a plague of nit-pickers? The discourse concerns character not familial issues! Abigail's relationship to anyone else is hardly the issue! What motivates all those who comment on David's highly acclaimed and superlative presentations with such depreciation? Pride? Do they want to be seen as more knowledgeable or a better scholar than David? What point, if any, are they trying to make? If they were they would remember the admonition of Jeshua- "let he who is without sin cast the first stone" they would, perhaps also consider the words written by Paul to Timothy":- "Remind them of these things, and solemnly charge them in the presence of God not to wrangle about words, which is useless and leads to the ruin of the hearers. Be diligent to present yourself approved to God as a workman who does not need to be ashamed, accurately handling the word of truth" If you are one of the nit-pickers are you charging David with inaccurately handling the word of truth? Last word from Proverbs:- A gentle answer turns away wrath, The tongue of the wise makes knowledge acceptable, But the mouth of fools spouts folly. Agapé and shalom.

[@user-p7t3k]

Why oh why are people so offended by the truth?? Rightly dividing the Word is not nitpicking or casting stones. You are the only one casting stones and that might be because ppl tend to put good teachers upon a pedestal. A teacher should never be unquestionable. The Bereans even checked what the apostles taught! So should you. I don't care who the human is, I will check it against scripture. Solomon said watch out for the little foxes, (what you call nitpicking) the little foxes that over run the vineyard.

[@CA-tb6uq]

The bible doesn't mention any sin committed by the prophet Daniel either I don't think Joseph was the only not sure at least.

[@transmundane_]

I was thinking the same thing

[@grahamflaws7813]

Nietsche's comment "God is dead" was not so much an atheist gloat but more of an... 'uh oh what now?' He went on to predict the 20th century and the millions of deaths under communism. Check out Jordan Peterson on the subject.

[@grantbartley483]

Don't think the points about Nietzsche are quite accurate. 'God is dead' is not about what God does or doesn't do; rather N meant that belief in God is over (for Western civilisation). Nietzsche to his credit did realise that this would mean the death of objective morality with all the social destruction that would follow, as we have seen in the twentieth century. This led to Nietzsche trying to establish an alternative to morality 'beyond good and evil', and the (other) existentialists saying we must create our own values and meaning, too.

[@grantbartley483]

PS Nietzsche's father was a Lutheran preacher who died when Friedrich was six. My theory is that this made N angry with God for the rest of his life.
