The tumultuous story of David and Bathsheba illustrates how seriously God takes the sin of adultery. Sexual purity is not a peripheral Christian matter - it is a non-negotiable, foundational, core, not subject to interpretation or nuance.

Scripture references in this episode include:

Genesis 2:24 Acts 15:20 Mark 7:19

Exodus 20 Acts 10:19-16 Matthew 5, 15, 19

2 Samuel 11 Genesis 18:25 I Thessalonians 4:13-14

Hebrews 3:1 Numbers 21:4-9 John 3:14-16
