1 | Proverbs 30 meaning? | Proverbs | Shlomoh | 59507 | ||
Proverbs 30 meaning? Greetings my fellow brethen, I am reading the chapter of Proverbs 30 and is having some trouble understanding it. Well the NIV version starts off like this "Sayings of Agur 1 The sayings of Agur son of Jakeh-an oracle:" Like the rest of the book, Solomon seemed to write it but for chapter 30, it looks like Solomon is quoting another person Agur. So who is Agur? The rest of the chapter has a few interesting constructs to it. Like ... three things that ... four that ... But after these contructs, they are always the four things. So what are the three things? An example: 18 "There are three things that are too amazing for me, four that I do not understand: 19 the way of an eagle in the sky, the way of a snake on a rock, the way of a ship on the high seas, and the way of a man with a maiden. So what are the three that are amazing? Anyone care to enlighten me? Thanks. Best Regards, Luke |

2 | Solomon the wisest man? | 1 Cor 1:24 | Shlomoh | 59505 | ||
Solomon the wisest man? Greetings my fellow brothers and sisters In 1 Kings 3:12 God says to Soloman "I will give you a wise and dicerning heart, so that there will never have been anyone like you, nor will there ever be." So does that means that there is no one who will be wiser than Solomon? Cause one good counter-example is Jesus Christ. Since Jesus is fully God and fully man. I am not trying to point out any inaccuracy(ies) here as I believe the Word of God to be God breathed and God inspired. In Proverbs 30:5 "Every word of God is flawless; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him. 6 Do not add to his words, or he will rebuke you and prove you a liar. " I would think that there will be someone wiser than how God annointed Solomon but I would need help finding scriptures to prove it. The way I see it is what 1 Kings 3:12 is saying is that assuming God made Solomon's IQ (or a standardized means of measuring wisdom) to be 200. Then no other man will be 200. They can be greater than or less than 200. Am I right to say this? I certainly do not want to add to His words. I am just curious not that knowing the answer would help in any way to my spiritual walk. Thanks for your time. :) |
