Yes.
Apparently. Sad though, you view Him as such.

i would say that it was merciful of God not to strike dead both David and Ahimelech
and just
was it just or merciful when God struck Uzzah dead?

ok, sometimes people are unaware of the appearance of their behavior for many reasons, including autism, tiredness, etc.
looks like in your case it's just 'cause you're a jerk :idunno:
:think: hmmmm. Ok. Duly noted.
Sometimes a jerk (pun intended) is what people need.
Advocating for the death by stoning of individuals falls well beyond jerk-ness...at least, in this jerk's opinion.

It applied at the time it happened.
So was it just or unjust to disobey the law at that time?
Again, as a reminder ........
The just shall live by faith.
The law is not of faith.
Fear of what?
So one doesn't need to go by the law to be merciful and just.
How 'bout that!

it was unjust of david, of Ahimelech and of saul
again, as a reminder - i'm not interested in discussing salvific issues
or in confusing civil law with faith or mercy or forgiveness

not if one is God
are you God?
can you give mercy and forgiveness to Stephen M. Howells II and Nicole Vaisey?
can you tell the NYS justice system that it was wrong to sentence them to life in prison for kidnapping and molesting children?
I'm asking about the shewbread being eaten which was disobedience to the law.
Salvitic is not the issue of eating the shewbread, so we can certainly discuss that.
Then live by law and show no mercy or forgiveness.
Easy peasy.
But again, the just shall live by faith, and the law is not of faith.
I'm not GOD.
Neither was David and the priest.
Can you say that killing a baby in the womb is right since it is ok by civil law?
You see, Doser, no matter which way you go with this, there is always the flip-side to the coin.

it was unjust of David to demand it
it was unjust of Saul to send David to demand it
and it was unjust of Ahimelech to give it to David
rather, live in a society that is governed by laws based on God's Law

and David and Ahimelech were wrong to violate the law; their actions were unjust
of course not - you're referring to a corrupt civil law that desperately needs correction
and the best way to correct it is by referring to God's Law
there's never a flip-side to God's Law
it amazes me that you think you've made a valid point with this line of "reasoning" tam :nono:
