No Savior Required
David Didn’t Require a Savior
It seems that God loved David so much.
Yet he destroyed a lot with his very touch.
He killed Uriah to have his wife,
Which resulted in a lifetime of strife.
A baby he lost.
A tremendous cost.
His son raped his daughter,
Which lead to his slaughter.
Absolom killed Amnon, their half brother.
And afterwards, resented their father.
In the uprising that ensued,
Absalom was subdued.
So are we being told that three children died,
Because David did not abide,
To the rules of his God, that he did not obey,
And the deaths reminded him on every day.
But God forgave him for his deed, of course,
When David begged forgiveness and showed remorse.
David didn’t need a savior,
To be back in his God’s favor.
And as there was not a mediator needed,
The Savior concept should be conceded.
But how was Uriah helped by all this?
He was wronged and lacked the bliss,
Of God’s justice for his death,
Once he had taken his last breath.
But the murderer, David, received God’s favor,
While the victim of the crime received disfavor.
And what of the baby that God did kill?
God kills babies and gets a thrill.
It says just that in Psalm 137 verse nine?
In that verse it’s more than just fine.
It’s a blessing to smash babies on a rock.
This is what God says. Not really a shock.
To kill a baby when you feel the need?
After all it’s only your enemy’s seed.
So God killed many babies in the Bible
And no one seems to hold Him liable.
