1 | Money - the answer for everything? | Ecclesiastes | New Creature | 115654 | ||
Since the Bible is to be used as the believer's guide-book for living, how should we view the following text of Scripture which apparently should not be used to guide believers in their daily walk? A feast is made for laughter and wine makes life merry, but money is the answer for everything. (Ecclesiastes 10:19 NIV) A a believer we know that money is not the answer to everything. So should this verse rather be understood as the thoughts of the unsaved rather than the saved? |

2 | Money - the answer for everything? | Ecclesiastes | Rowdy | 115655 | ||
Certain portions of this book should be read as being sarcastic. Solomon was a great man and had great wisdom but I'm afraid he let his lifestyle get in his way, between himself and his God. Sometimes he wrote verses from the standpoint of the common man and the way they would like to run the world...wouldn't we all? But alas we come back to reality as does Solomon in the final chapter. | ||||||
