BTW, if you read the context, David sinned by numbering Israel.
That's why He confessed to God:
2 Sam 24:10 Now David’s heart troubled him after he had numbered the people. So David said to the LORD, “I have sinned greatly in what I have done. But now, O LORD, please take away the sin of Your servant, for I have acted very foolishly.”
Did God actually cause David to sin?
"He (God) moved David . . . to . . . number Israel and Judah (2 Sam. "24:2).
It seems so, or was God merely assuming the blame for David's sinning?
I say the latter.
You see if God had not created Lucifer then David wouldn't have sinned because 1] David wouldn't have had a sin nature and 2] there wouldn't have been a devil to tempt him. So God assumes the blame as if He had David number Israel.
What's the will of God?
That we reflect His agape love, right? Instead our humanity reflects a u-turn agape....The essence of sin is "the love of self".
God choosed and deterned to us their Falls fo His greater glory, corect?
As the Cross of Christ was already in mind of God, as part o fHis divine Plan, so that greater good would in the end come out of even their Falsl?
The very act of reading the Bible is interpretive. Trying to figure out what the words mean is interpretive. Trying to understand how the words relate to other words in the text is interpretive.
That's the case with any written document, and the Bible is no exception. It's just rather challenging to do, as it is a collection of documents from different time periods, written by different authors with different backgrounds.
Case in point: what does the Bible mean by "faith"? James and Paul use the same word differently. So we have to interpret even if we never leave the text.
