There is no such law, you yourself brought that evidence to this tread. You tried to counter that law with the incident of David and Bathsheba and I told you that God had forgiven David before David's son became sick, God didn't kill the child He didn't heal the child after it got sick, it was a punishment for David not the child. Like I said it was a punishment David would never forget and the child is now in heaven with God, this child was innocent of all wrong doing it was only a few weeks old. Your whole deal is proving the Bible is flawed and I doubt (but will hope) the things I show you are true and consistent. I'm not going to say that I can't explain all the Bible to you, I'm not finished learning what God will be showing me in His word, there are things I do not understand but I'm hungry for all I can learn. God has taught me much over the years, some through others, some just because I asked with determination to understand what I was having trouble with understanding, how certain things in the Bible could possibly match up with the rest, again I look forward to God's revelation to me for my personal understanding. He's shown me why I was confused and revealed what I needed to know to understand certain passages that seemed not to fit, some of these things took years. Patients is truly a virtue and my faith was strengthened into knowledge of God and who He is, that's why I patiently wait on Him for those things that still give me trouble. I now know there are answers that will make those things consistent with the rest of the Bible. You see I know the problem is not God's word, it's my lack of understanding.

Deuteronomy 24:16

Allow me to summarize the point again.

God had a covenant with the Jews. A part of it is laid out in Deuteronomy 24:16.  In 2 Samuel 12 it is clear that God killed the son.

You're wrong once again and at best you're trying to twist the words of God around to meet your predetermined argument. You should learn what the Bible says before trying to twist it into your words, God's word will not fail. God did not kill the child, as I said He allowed the child to die. God did strike the child ill and He did not heal the child, this was physical punishment not spiritual punishment, David and his child are both now with the Lord God. The passage from Deut. is about spiritual death and since God had forgiven David, there was no punishment for the sin with Bathsheba concerning the child's death.  

You tried to counter that law with the incident of David and Bathsheba and I told you that God had forgiven David before David's son became sick, God didn't kill the child He didn't heal the child after it got sick, it was a punishment for David not the child.

WRONG.

Nathan says in verse 14,
fore 
Howbeit, because by this deed thou hast given great occasion to the enemies of Jehovah to blaspheme, the child also that is born unto thee shall surely die.

No I'm not wrong, in verse 13 David tells Nathan he has sinned and Nathan tell David God has forgiven his sin, the sin is forgiven before the child becomes ill. Understand the sequence here, David's wives were given to another man because David took Uriah's wife and then murdered Uriah. David's son died because David dishonored God's name among the unrighteous.

 

If a prophet of God says the child will die, and it happens, it's clearly God's doing.  ... He was told it would happen by God.

Correct

It seems that your argument is this:

1. David sinned
2. God decides he wants to punish David
3. God, knowing the future, sees that David's son was already going to die no matter what
4. God punished David by doing nothing and allowing events to unfold naturally

Seems kind of like a stupid argument, especially considering that this God had no problem with deliberately/purposefully/manually killing people left and right.

2. God didn't decide, it was God's justice in action, it was something that had to happen.
3. David couldn't see the future.
4. God punishes in whatever way He chooses.

BTW, as it is written the infant fell ill and took a week to die, so not only did God kill an infant but he tortured it first.

Now the point is that God is clearly above the law he gave to the Jews.  And I don't see any indication that he isn't above whatever the hell law you're talking about. And if God is above the law, then the death of Christ was entirely pointless.

How could God being above the law make Christ's death pointless, you need to understand that Jesus was born and lived as a man He had no powers while on earth. Satan couldn't say that Jesus was able to be tempted to sin, Satan personally temped Jesus and Jesus used the word of God to turn Satan aside.
The laws I speak of are given to all mankind are you to lazy to read and find them, they are in both the OT and NT.

If you mean God is above the law because He can't sin then you are correct. God's nature is the law and God can't go against His nature so He can't sin. Surely by now you can see what I've been trying to show you, if not I don't know what else to say.
