Weekly Pulpit 2 Samuel 12:14 However,, because by this deed you have given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme… Dr. Mason Good, when arguing with a young infidel scoffer, well put the old error of making the faults of professors the fault of their profession. "Did you ever know an uproar made because an infidel had gone astray from the paths of morality?" The young man admitted that he had not. "Then you allow Christianity to be a holy religion by expecting its professors to be holy; and thus, by your very scoffing, you pay it the very highest compliment in your power." (Weekly Pulpit.) Parallel Verses KJV: Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of the LORD to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die. |
