The temptation, as I mentioned in my ‘patriarchs’ post, is for modern Christians to use modern values to judge the patriarchs. What I have done here is the opposite. I have ignored the modern condemnations of David, and the modern ignorance of Jonadab, and pointed out what God has to say about them. In His word. For our edification.
If any of us think we are Godly fathers let us ask ourselves: Will God be judging our great… grandchildren by our standard? Will He be praising them for their obedience to our commands?
Thank you for reading Von’s Substack. I would love it if you commented! I love hearing from readers, especially critical comments. I would love to start more letter exchanges, so if there’s a subject you’re interested in, get writing and tag me!
Being ‘restacked’ and mentioned in ‘notes’ is very important for lesser-known stacks so… feel free! I’m semi-retired and write as a ministry (and for fun) so you don’t need to feel guilty you aren’t paying for anything, but if you enjoy my writing (even if you dramatically disagree with it), then restack, please! Or mention me in one of your own posts.
If I don’t write you back it is almost certain that I didn’t see it, so please feel free to comment and link to your post. Or if you just think I would be interested in your post!
If you get lost, check out my ‘Table of Contents’ which I try to keep up to date.
Thanks again, God Bless, Soli Deo gloria,
Von
