No...you cant serve God and Mammon. Its hypocrisy if you ask which is God and Mammon.

malvisguy212:
And he wrote, A man born of woman is of few days. Solomon show a penitent attitudes, he repented. How can you label him a bad character? Who had not sin before?

I guess this is a typical example of the wicked justifying wickedness. Saying who has not sinned before?

It will be difficult for a king, senator or governor to be a true Christian! Even before they attain such positions are made to go through terrible rituals that require human sacrifices etc! My brother don’t be deceived!

politicians are same all over the world

Worse in Nigeria

You won't understand what these guys do to get into power

Kobojunkie:

Solomon had 1000 women in his life and his wives led him astray. He worshipped various idols and goddesses as a result, abandoning God.

Solomon built places of worship for each of the gods on mountains next to jerusalem, the place where the temple of God had been built by Solomon

God called Solomon out for what He had done, so God punished him and his sons.

my brother, I am not saying Solomon is a saint, the Bible say all have sinned. But Solomon repented, if God forgive our sin without mentioning it, who are you to mentioned the saved man his or her pass sin?

you are a good reader of scriptures.... People like you held the truth of the scripture by thoroughly searching it. And you did not surrendered your brain to modern pastorpreneurs who cherypick scripture that suit them to to block lazy Christians who are addicted to their one sided quotations.. Thank you for digging this out to help the fella.

Very possible.. But not in Nigeria.

malvisguy212:
There are many good kings in the Bible, are kings and president not human? As a Good Christian king or president, power and money cannot override you.

Solomon had a wonderful knowledge of the Scriptures and a high view of God, as can be seen by his prayer of dedication found in 1 Kings chapter 8.

Can't remember biblical Kings having inaugurations involving fetish practices though.

miniziter:

Even with those 1000 women?

just because a Christian had 1 thousands girlfriend when he was an unbeliever, does not mean his sin will not be forgiven

Solomon later leave True God and became idols worshipers his end was not good... Do you read that part too ...don't cherypick what suit you...

that's not the latter end of Solomon, he repented.

you are changing the narrative now after they showed you that Solomon left God and followed idol worshiping Not just a mere sin He sinned against God Holy spirit because he was annoiited .....

No

He never did that!

I am not justifying evil, salvation is for all. If God forgive your pass sin, on the day of judgement, will He remembered them? Solomon repent, so his sin should not stand as an obstacle. .

No.

That isn't a Christian's mission. Jesus refused to do politics.
The world's politics is under the influence of the devil. So, will a Christian want to work for the devil?

The question is can u cite one good Christian amongst all this politicians.. Kings and governor? The answer is no

EastGold:
Very possible!



Some of us do not attain or maintain power by dipping hands into evil.

how is that so. Did Jesus Christ instruct his followers not to part of d world as him & his kingdom is no part of dis world?? When they tried to make him king by force, didn't he run away from d group of people? Did him & his followers dabble into d politics of their days didn't apostle Paul resign from such & then joined true Christians??

malvisguy212:

Means people can go ahead doing evil knowing God almighty will forgive them in the long run when they repent?

Solomon was unrepentant till his death! He even tried to get rid of one of the men who God raised to take Israel away from His sons.

1 Kings 11 vs 40-43 (ERV)
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
40. Solomon tried to kill Jeroboam, but Jeroboam ran away to Egypt. He went to King Shishak of Egypt and stayed there until Solomon died.
41. Everything else Solomon did, from the beginning to the end, is written in the book, The History of Solomon.
41. Solomon ruled in Jerusalem over all Israel for 40 years.
42. Then he died[c] and was buried in the city of David, his father. Then Solomon’s son, Rehoboam, became the next king after him.

Jestin:
They are too diabolical especially in Nigeria .

BERNIMOORE:
quote where he repented here please

who wrote the song of Solomon?

1 Kings 11:41 And the rest of
the acts of Solomon, and all that
he did, and his wisdom, are they
not written in the book of the
acts of Solomon?

This verse tells us that the writer of First Kings knew of a written document that recorded all the rest of what Solomon did in his life prior to his death. That document would have been available to others who lived after Solomon had died.

If Solomon had died as an unrepentant apostate, evidence that he did so would undoubtedly have been recorded in this book. For the writer of Second Chronicles to not say anything negative about Solomon,especially about the horrific ending of his life would be unintelligible if there were such a written record of Solomon’s complete and final apostasy.

In Nigeria never

BERNIMOORE:

the whole book of ecclesiastic showed Solomon brokenness and repentance Also, in his commentary on (1 Kin 11:43), Wesley says: "This seems to be put out of dispute by the book of Ecclesiastes; written after his fall; as is evident, not only from the unanimous testimony of the Hebrew writers, but also, from the whole strain of that book, which was written long after he had finished all his works, and after he had liberally drunk of all sorts of sensual pleasures, and sadly experienced the bitter effects of his love of women, Ecclesiastes 7:17, etc. which makes it more than probable, that as David writ Psalms 51:1-19. So Solomon wrote this book as a publick testimony and profession of his repentance.. Solomon finished the book of ecclesiastic by saying that the conclusion of the whole life ia is fear God and keep his commandment for this is the whole duty of man

you just lied that he repented which he never did ....but you are forgiven read your Bible well before you quote any Bible chacter...

Paul answer this question. Romans 6:2 , “God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin,
live any longer therein?”

All what he wrote in ecclesiastical was when his heart was with true God, God did not pulled down his kingdoms because of covenant with his father...all what scholars are insinuating are mere secondguessing period

are you sure you are a Christian,? Indeed a generation without God.

Luk 11:31 The queen of the
south shall rise up in the
judgment with the men of this
generation, and condemn them:
for she came from the utmost
parts of the earth to hear the
WISDOM OF SOLOMON ; and, behold,
a GREATER THAN SOLOMON is here.

Had Solomon died as a wicked apostate who never repented, Jesus would not have compared Himself to
Solomon because Solomon would in that case have ultimately proved to be the greatest fool in the history of Israel.

Furthermore, had Jesus likened Himself to such a defective man, he would have left Himself open to a
profound rebuke from his enemies
