Exactly Martin. I don't think there is any intimation that the story of David and Bathsheba is a recommendation for adultery, and it's odd that in all the cases given you choose that one. We were talkig about Paul, and how, under the supposed inspiration of Jesus had one viewpoint, and then came around to another viewpoint. The belief that the end of the world is imminent has brought people to strange beliefs, and when the world doesn't end it makes people move on, yet it seems that they know the end of the world is happening because God has influenced them to believe this.
'God breathed' is a bit of a get out., It's a weasel word really. It's a spare ace held up the sleeve to get God off the hook when you need to, or to boost scripture when it seems to be right.
