Nathan Was Wrong, Then He Was Right
Nathan did not deliberately lie to David about building God’s house. He honestly thought that it was a great idea and said so. It was along the lines of someone encouraging someone else to do something that sounded like a great idea at the time. Should Nathan have known better? Yes, but if we read the text carefully, he was simply telling David that God would bless him (David) if that was God’s will. After God actually spoke to Nathan, revealing His will, Nathan went back to David and clarified things perfectly.
Speaking for God: Discerning His Truth
If no one discerns what is right and true today, then error abounds. The reason there is so much error today is because there is little discernment. When some step forward in an attempt to discern, they are quickly shouted down, called names, and heckled. This should not be, but unfortunately, it exists. “But there were also false prophets also among the people, even as there shall be false teachers among you, who privily shall bring in damnable heresies, even denying the Lord that bought them and bring upon themselves swift destruction. And many shall follow their pernicious ways; by reason of whom the way of truth shall be evil spoken of,” (2 Peter 2:1-2).
