Bible Question:
Solomon, the wisest man ever, the man who wrote God's proverbs...but who also built/worshipped idols in his latter years Is Solomon now in heaven or hell...did Solomon ever repent??? |
Bible Answer: If we read the passages from the books of kings we may concluded that solomon could be go to hell after judgement. 1Ki 11:3 And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart. 1Ki 11:4 For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father. 1Ki 11:5 For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites. 1Ki 11:6 And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father. 1Ki 11:7 Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon. 1Ki 11:8 And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods. But if you aske me if solomon is now in heaven, NO hes not there! Joh 3:13 And no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came down from heaven, even the Son of man which is in heaven. "no man hath ascended up to heaven" including solomon. God bless, |
