Bible Question:
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. :) |
Bible Answer: I do believed that Solomon is the wisest man, bible says it I believed in the word of God. You said"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" If you beleived in the word of God just keep it that way. then you contradict yourself here. I would think that there will be someone wiser than how God annointed Solomon but I would need help finding scriptures to prove it. Are you trying to question the authenticity of the bible? If the bible said that solomon is the wisest man then that is true. Christ is different if Solomon is the wisest man, what bible says about Christ is this: 1Co 1:24 But unto them which are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God, and the wisdom of God. He is the power and wisdom of God! you cannot compare the two. God bless, Johnny |
