King David come to mind? I don't fault anyone for sinning. I fault them after their response to sinning if not appropriate.
This is one (of many) reason that Scripture is true. It always states the truth, even about its heroes.Â
King David - murderer, adulterer- called a man after Gods own heart because of his humility and trust in the Father. He confesses his sin, truly repents and asks for forgiveness in Psalms 51.
If the scriptures were not true, every hero would be a complete saint with no hint of wrongdoing, instead of being a shown for who they really were, flawed and failed humans seeking a relationship with the Father.
