Look, you desire integrity in the inner man<\/em>,1<\/sup><\/a> David\u2019s song continued.\u00a0 This is a truth he learned the hard way with Bathsheba.\u00a0 But I could hear the voice of Jesus, You have heard that it was said,<\/em>2<\/sup><\/a> \u201cDo not commit adultery <\/strong><\/em>(\u03bc\u03bf\u03b9\u03c7\u03b5\u1f7b\u03c3\u03b5\u03b9\u03c2<\/a>, a form of \u03bc\u03bf\u03b9\u03c7\u03b5\u03cd\u03c9<\/a>).\u201d \u00a0But I say to you that whoever looks at a woman to desire her<\/em>3<\/sup><\/a> has already committed adultery <\/em>(\u1f10\u03bc\u03bf\u1f77\u03c7\u03b5\u03c5\u03c3\u03b5\u03bd<\/a>, another form of \u03bc\u03bf\u03b9\u03c7\u03b5\u03cd\u03c9) with her in his heart<\/em>,4<\/sup><\/a> in that inner man<\/em> where the Lord desires integrity<\/em>.<\/p>\n

David\u2019s song continued, you want me to possess wisdom<\/em> (See Addendum<\/a> below).5<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 Assuming that Psalm 139 was written later in David\u2019s life than Psalm 51, that wisdom was acquired: O Lord, you examine me and know. \u00a0You know when I sit down and when I get up; even from far away you understand my motives. \u00a0You carefully observe me when I travel or when I lie down to rest; you are aware of everything I do. \u00a0Certainly my tongue does not frame a word without you, O Lord, being thoroughly aware of it <\/em>[Table14<\/a> below]. \u00a0You squeeze me in from behind and in front; you place your hand on me <\/em>[Table16<\/a> below]. \u00a0Your knowledge is beyond my comprehension; <\/em>it is so far beyond me, I am unable to fathom it<\/em>.6<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

Sprinkle me with water and I will be pure; wash me and I will be whiter than snow<\/em>.7<\/sup><\/a> \u00a0David did not sacrifice his daughter<\/a> to purify himself, or divorce his wives<\/a> and send his children away.\u00a0 And though the Hebrew for Sprinkle me with water<\/em> (literally, Purge me with hyssop<\/em>) refers to the plant used in religious rites of purification to sprinkle water or blood, David did not run off to a priest either.\u00a0 His faith did not rest on his own reform efforts or religious ritual but upon God.\u00a0 David used the language of religious ritual to reach out for the actual purification and cleansing from sin that only comes from God. \u00a0The phrase whiter than snow<\/em> reminded me of Isaiah, the prophet who lived and wrote many centuries after the time of David.<\/p>\n

<\/a>The Old Testament only began to make sense to me when I started to read it as if it were intended for primarily one reader.\u00a0 I began to hear it as a mnemonic device written and preserved to remind one twelve-year-old Jewish boy who He was, what He had said and done, what had transpired as a result, and what He had come to do.\u00a0 Before Jesus was born of a virgin and walked this earth as a man, He spoke through the prophet Isaiah, revealing some of his most profound thoughts.\u00a0 I\u2019m not saying that Isaiah\u2019s time is when Jesus decided to walk this earth and be publicly displayed…<\/em>at his death as the mercy seat accessible through faith<\/em>,8<\/sup><\/a> that was some time before the world began.9<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 But I will say that the book of Isaiah as a whole goes a long way to explaining why He chose to do it.<\/p>\n

Listen, O heavens, pay attention, O earth!<\/em> Isaiah\u2019s prophetic words began.\u00a0 For the Lord speaks:\u00a0 \u201cI raised children, I brought them up, but they have rebelled against me!\u00a0 An ox recognizes its owner, a donkey recognizes where its owner puts its food; but Israel does not recognize me, my people do not understand<\/em>.\u201d10<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 \u201cCome, let\u2019s consider your options,\u201d says the Lord.\u00a0 \u201cThough your sins have stained you like the color red, you can become white like snow; though they are as easy to see as the color scarlet, you can become white like wool.\u201d<\/em>11<\/sup><\/a><\/p>\n

This translation is exactly what I understood the first time I read this verse in a different translation of the Bible.\u00a0 The upside was I recognized that forgiveness included not merely pardon from the penalty of sin, but cleansing from sin.\u00a0 I\u2019ll consider the downside in a moment.\u00a0 Now I want to consider a forgiveness that merely pardoned the sinner without cleansing any sin.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Movies deal with redemption schemes all the time, and some are more self-conscious about it than others.\u00a0 In the movie The Final Cut<\/a><\/em>, the EyeTech company has marketed a biological implant that records video and audio through a person\u2019s eyes and ears throughout that person\u2019s life.\u00a0 The protagonist played by Robin Williams<\/a> is a cutter, a man who extracts data from an implant after the host\u2019s death and edits a \u201cRememory\u201d for showing at a memorial service.\u00a0 The antagonist, Jim Caviezel<\/a>, is a reformed cutter who has joined with the people protesting against EyeTech and the cutters who profit from this work.<\/p>\n

The cutter, apparently out of a sense of guilt, specialized in producing Rememories for notorious and unsavory characters that other cutters wouldn\u2019t touch.\u00a0 The reformed cutter accused him of taking murderers and making them saints.\u00a0 The cutter countered that he was able to forgive people long after they could be punished for their sins.\u00a0 He considered himself a sin eater.12<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 Both the former cutter and the audience feel the inadequacy of this type of forgiveness.\u00a0 The redemption for Robin Williams\u2019 character comes when he is just as happy not to make a Rememory for a deceased child molester due to circumstances beyond his control.<\/p>\n

<\/a>But my original understanding of\u2014Though your sins have stained you like the color red, you can become white like snow; though they are as easy to see as the color scarlet, you can become white like wool<\/em>\u2014is not what the verse actually says.\u00a0 Even the translators of the NET acknowledge in a footnote that the verse says, Though your sins have stained you like the color red, they<\/strong> can become white like snow; though they are as easy to see as the color scarlet, they<\/strong> can become white like wool<\/em>.\u00a0 It took me some time to take this verse literally.\u00a0 But for the Lord to prevail when He is judged<\/a>13<\/sup><\/a> for forgiving me, something must be done about the impact of my sins<\/a> on others.<\/p>\n

David\u2019s song continued: Grant me the ultimate joy of being forgiven<\/a>!\u00a0 May the bones you crushed rejoice!\u00a0 Hide your face from my sins!\u00a0 Wipe away all my guilt!<\/em>14<\/sup><\/a>\u00a0 Was David grasping at something like make my sin white as snow?\u00a0 Or was he self-focused here?\u00a0 Frankly, I don\u2019t know.\u00a0 God didn\u2019t crush David\u2019s bones literally, but set him up through Nathan\u2019s hypothetical to experience Uriah\u2019s pain.\u00a0 David certainly felt a responsibility for his child with Bathsheba.\u00a0 Did David truly believe he could experience the ultimate joy of being forgiven<\/em> apart from some justice for Uriah and the child?\u00a0 And I don\u2019t mean retributive justice here, but some muting of the impact of David\u2019s sin which resulted in their deaths.<\/p>\n

I don\u2019t know how God might accomplish this.\u00a0 Apart from the obvious strategy of paying back money I stole with interest, I\u2019m also at a loss to know how I or God could mute the impact of my sins on others.\u00a0 Such knowledge is beyond my comprehension<\/em>.15<\/sup><\/a> \u00a0I\u2019ve thought about exploring it in a drama something like Sartre\u2019s No Exit<\/em>:\u00a0 Samuel, Saul, Uriah, and David\u2019s and Bathsheba\u2019s first child discuss the topic in Sheol.\u00a0 All I\u2019ve ever gotten a handle on is the ending, based on 1 Peter 3:17-22:\u00a0 David\u2019s and Bathsheba\u2019s first child rushes in like a messenger and informs the other three, \u201cThe Messiah is here.\u201d\u00a0 All rise and hurry to see.\u00a0 Samuel mutters, \u201cMessiah, what\u2019s he doing here?\u201d\u00a0 The messenger, leading the way, shakes his head, \u201cI don\u2019t know.\u00a0 I think they killed him.\u201d<\/p>\n

Though I may not understand how God makes sins white like snow or wool, I\u2019m confident He doesn\u2019t use a moral rationalization. \u00a0At the end of the The Final Cut<\/em> the reformed cutter returned to cutting.\u00a0 He wanted to expose the child molester\u2019s sin, hoping to bring down the EyeTech company.\u00a0 He stared at an image of the cutter, and spoke as if to him, but it seemed more like he was trying to convince himself that his own actions were justified because they were in service of this greater good.\u00a0 This is the moral rationalization of tyrants and terrorists.\u00a0 Perhaps it is unnecessary to say, but The Final Cut<\/em> did not fare well at the box office<\/a>.<\/p>\n

Filmmakers don\u2019t concern themselves with redemption strategies because they are avid moral philosophers\u2014necessarily.\u00a0 They are interested in believable character arcs to make their stories ring true.\u00a0 They know that audiences expect a certain moral order to the universe their stories inhabit, whether they believe in such a moral order for their own lives or not.\u00a0 And they know from experience that movies that do not satisfy that sense of moral order will be punished at the box office. \u00a0Evil characters suffer the consequences of their actions.\u00a0 Good characters redeem themselves by acts of bravery, good deeds or self-sacrifice.\u00a0 Movies are fundamentally religious<\/em> exercises in almost precisely the way I am using the term.\u00a0 Successful movies reflect the religious <\/em>attitudes of the audience that made them successful.<\/p>\n

12<\/sup><\/a> Alan Hakman (Robin Williams): \u201cDo you know what a sin eater is? It\u2019s part of an ancient tradition. When someone would die, they would call for a sin eater. Sin eaters were social outcasts, marginals. They would lay out the body, put bread and salt on the chest, coins upon the eyes. The sin eater would eat the bread and salt, take the coins as payment. By doing this, the eater absorbed the sins of the deceased, cleansing their soul and allowing them safe passage into the afterlife. That was their job.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
