OLAADEGBU:Yes. I believe when the prophecy came. And when the adversaries began to fight, he was brought to his senses. |

gatiano:Well all these were written above 5 centuries after the quotes I wrote. I will rather go with those. God gave Solomon wisdom but that did not deprive the latter of freedom of choice! See what David himself told Solomon 1 Chronicles 28:9 9 And you, Solomon my son, know the God of your father [have personal knowledge of Him, be acquainted with, and understand Him; appreciate, heed, and cherish Him] and serve Him with a blameless heart and a willing mind. For the Lord searches all hearts and minds and understands all the wanderings of the thoughts. If you seek Him [inquiring for and of Him and requiring Him as your first and vital necessity] you will find Him; but [a]if you forsake Him, He will cast you off forever! God also told him 17 As for you [Solomon], if you will walk before me as David your father walked, and do all I have commanded you, and observe My statutes and My ordinances, 18 Then I will establish the throne of your kingdom, as I covenanted with David your father, saying, There shall not fail you a man to be ruler in Israel. 19 But if you turn away and forsake My statutes and My commandments which I have set before you and go and serve other gods and worship them, 20 Then will I pluck [Israel] up by the roots out of My land which I have given [them]; and this house which I have hallowed for My Name will I cast out of My sight, and will make it to be a proverb and a byword among all nations. Solomon failed and judgement came . The division of the kingdom is a milestone to this. |

If the Torah wasn't corrupted, there won't be any need for the Gospel, If the Gospel wasn't corrupted, There won't be a need for the Quran. Quran narrowly escaped to Africa where it is kept save, however, it was still managed to be corrupted by the jews and arabs or arabs, to be sure, they established the corrupted version of Quran and fabricate lies against Muhammad. It is called the hadith. That is why God sent the last Prophet. His work again, they tried to corrupt but couldn't. We now know that man of sin called the devil(s) and satan. There is no need for any of us to argue back and forth. Whether Solomon or Muhammad or Jesus were righteous Men of God is actually non of our concern. "Would you say/claim that you are a believer and God won't test you?" Everyman or mankind must go through their test alone as those before us did alone. It is simply an advice to anyone willing to listen to do their own thorough researches, findings and seek knowledge, so as not to be deceived by the ......... it can come in any form. Scholar8200: |

gatiano:The Gospel was not corrupted! What is the Gospel? Let Jesus Himself answer 16 For God so greatly loved and dearly prized the world that He [even] gave up His only begotten ([d]unique) Son, so that whoever believes in (trusts in, clings to, relies on) Him shall not perish (come to destruction, be lost) but have eternal (everlasting) life. 17 For God did not send the Son into the world in order to judge (to reject, to condemn, to pass sentence on) the world, but that the world might find salvation and be made safe and sound through Him. 3 Jesus answered him, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, that unless a person is born again (anew, from above), he cannot ever see (know, be acquainted with, and experience) the kingdom of God. 34 Jesus answered them, I assure you, most solemnly I tell you, Whoever commits and practices sin is the slave of sin. 36 So if the Son liberates you [makes you free men], then you are really and unquestionably free. Freedom from slavery to sins dictates. The writings of the prophets spoke about the New Covenant. And here it is today. There was no jot or tittle mentioned in the NT of another covenant.. The Gospel is the content of the New Covenant |

Scholar8200: Remember the Scripture says this happened when he was old, so when did he come back to his senses. |

OLAADEGBU:At old age too! Moses was old when the call came (80 years old) and he still lived 40 years afterwards hence it is not impossible! |

Scholar8200: Then can you kindly give us the scriptural reference that says when Solomon was in his grand old age? |
Re: Why Didn't Solomon Follow His Own Advice On Women? by Scholar8200(m): 3:09pm On Jun 09, 2015 |
OLAADEGBU:I did not say the Bible said Solomon was in a grand old age, the point is his wives turned his heart when he became old and judgment came. All the events described in the book of Ecclesiastes are words of one who has seen it all; not a young man just starting out. The conclusion of the book in question states thus: Ecclesiastes 12:12-14 12 And further, by these, my son, be admonished: of making many books there is no end; and much study is a weariness of the flesh. 13 Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man. 14 For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. Solomon would not have got to this conclusion as a young man and still hold on to the very things whose vanity he discovered (and by which he was led astray)! His marriage to strange women, as a young man, was against God's commandments; this conclusion could only have come from one with the benefit of hindsight. |

Scholar8200: Shall we just agree that Solomon's heart departed from the Lord when he was old and it he also wrote Ecclesiastes when he was old probably when he came back to his senses but there was no record where he corrected the evils he did during his reign such as destroying the temples to idols that he erected. |

OLAADEGBU:Solomon was never a wise king. He was only good intellectually. Which wise man would marry 1000 wives and also allow himself to be let astray by the same women. He was simply a wise f.ool |

Scholar8200: No, that was my own opinion. |

tosag: There were two phases of his wisdom, he was wise before he was led astray by women and he got wiser afterwards when he wrote the book of Ecclesiastes. 1 Like |
