King David, was he Gay?

This is in regards to a post on BlackVoices.com. The question was whether or not "King David was a bi-sexual". I think I should make my position clear on this issue. Certain people have made it a point of assigning other posters viewpoints. Some that want to portray the question as a homosexual driven agenda. For starters this is a loaded question. To say he is bi-sexual, implies he was having sex with both men and women. The bible never discusses him having sex with anyone. I don't know whether David was bi-sexual or not. Just like no one else, on this forum does. I must say as a man today, some aspects of his behavior raises questions. That's not where the issue of homosexuality was first addressed though, it started in Leviticus 18:22. We had already been given instructions, in regards to that sin early on. To act as though it couldn't possibly be. Is presumptious, if not cowardice on believers part. This is a question that theologians, for the most part don't bother to discuss. Those that do, have different translations. Mainly reflecting the time in which they spoke. Just like the issue of gambling. Since we should already know. There wasn't a need to address it again in the story of David and Jonathon. If you thought he was or wasn't, you knew what his actions should have been. It's kind of like an alcoholic taking a drink. As long as he doesn't take a drink, he's alright. The minute he does, he's right back where he started. Therefore making it open and shut, whenever the issue of homosexuality comes up. Once someone repents, there slate is wiped clean. So what one did in the past won't be held against them now. People can think what they want to. It's between you and God. So whether David was bi-sexual or not, we don't know. We don't have it in the word. All we know is he loved God, and was commited. In spite of what he may have wanted, he obeyed Gods word. That's what we need to know and learn.To understand this relationship, you have to go all the way back to Samuel. He was the last example of the preisthood as they knew it. They were no longer governed strictly by the rules of the lord. Saul and David became king as a result, of the people of Israel pulling away from God. Samuel was the last prophet, to the people after their deliverance. Remember him being told, it wasn't his fault? It was the people of Israel not him, that chose their way. The same God that chose David, appointed Saul too. Saul didn't want to be king, he had other things he wanted to do. They had to go find him. The people of Israel wanted to be like the other nations. Instead of following God, they wanted a king. That's how Saul came to be king. His disobedience to the lord,caused him his kingdom eventually. In a final attempt to rectify him, Saul was told to destroy all traces of the Amalekites. In his greed and selfishness, he followed his own mind. Saul was disobedient again, that's how David became king. Had Saul been obedient, Jonathan would have been next in line for the throne. Why didn't God just wait for that to happen? There would have been less for us to wonder about. We wouldn't be having this discussion now. He had done it before. It's not like he was in a hurry. God uses everyone to carry out his will. The good,the bad,and even the homosexual. Let's not pretend the people of the bible were perfect. Nothing is new under the sun. Look what David did later with Uriah. That dispels the notion, that he was above reproach. Fifty even twenty-five yrs. ago, this wouldn't have been a topic. We didn't discuss issues of sexuality in the bible, or the church. Though we know it existed. There has always been that Guy in the choir, that shouted a little too much. Only he has company and comfort in 2005. The word of God is timeless. It always will, and always has applied. Sexuality wasn't at the forefront, like it is now. With same sex marriage, and gay couples adopting children. Molestation cover-ups being revealed, in the Catholic church. Openly gay ministers leading congregations. Even homosexuals being ordained as Bishops. It's time the body of Christ spoke out, if believers have questions. As we become more mature in our faith, we're asking more questions. The only dumb question is one you don't ask. This story really isn't about sexuality. It's about obedience. Whatever your wishes are, if you want to be rewarded. You must obey the laws of God.
