uracefriend:That's why I said except those that aren't given for salvation. Please note that even on this earth, not everyone you see is purely human! Romans 9:6-8 Not as though the word of God hath taken none effect. For they are not all Israel, which are of Israel: Neither, because they are the seed of Abraham, are they all children: but, In Isaac shall thy seed be called. That is, They which are the children of the flesh, these are not the children of God: but the children of the promise are counted for the seed. God does not change. What He says to one, He says to all. He is not a respecter of persons.[/quote] Besides, those verses up there were made before he(Paul) gave the conclusion of his argument.Take time and go through the book from beginning to end. Talking about King Solomon going to heaven, definitely he will and he is there. Christ has redeemed him by his death and resurrection. And towards the end of his life he gave the conclusion that the most important for a man is to remember his creator, to fear God and keep His commandments. That's repentance, he had a change of perception and mind! |

Dtruthspeaker:Not wrong!.Where in that passage you quoted showed that solomon died in sin? go and read the whole book of ecclesiates and you would see that solomon did turn back to God.eclesiastes 12:13-14 sums up by quoting the final summation of solomons ecclesiates:"let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter"fear God and keep his commandments" the books of proverbs and ecclesiates were written at the later end of solomons life.now does that sound like a man who concluded his life in sin? |

Manofvalor1: I stand to be corrected but I maintain 100% that Solomon did not enter God's Rest, Because it seen that God Always Identified with His Own eg To Isaac He said “I am the God of thy father Abraham;fear not" Genesis 26:24. To Jacob, “[b]I am the LORD God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac." [/b]Genesis 28:13 And to Solomon "if thou wilt walk in my ways, to keep my statutes and my commandments, [b]as thy father David did walk:" 1 kings 11:38. God was now very Angry With Solomon so He sent Ahijah to Jeroboam saying "if thou wilt hearken unto all that I command thee, and wilt walk in my ways, and do that is right in my sight, to keep my statutes and my commandments, as David my servant did; (By implication Solomon is Rejected) And thereafter, No King and his son, both walked together with the Lord such that the Lord Could Identify Himself with any of them. That is my Submission. 2 Likes |

Righteousness89: If he repented don't you think that would have been one of the most important part of the narrative to be left out? |

HedwigesMaduro: If we were to go by what we think, then I think he Repented! God Specially Loved Solomon from Birth! If He didn't Repent do you think, He will be given even a book in the Bible? But I can't make that Conclusion because the Bible didn't state that! The Bible is the Standard! Not what we think! It just like Samson! I Believe if Solomon had died in his evil , the Bible would have clearly stated that! If u go through the Kings in the Bible, you will see that there was a clear description of how they end! Some of David's lineage were not even buried in the city of David because of their evils. There are kings that were described as " Died without being desired" In Conclusion, when we get to the Street of Gold, we will know if Solomon is there! |

The bible did not promise a so called heaven in the sky. The bible speaks about a resurrection and the righteous inheriting the earth. Did the old testament also tell us if David or Abraham made heaven? I don't think it did. That's because the Christian notion of going to heaven is an evolved doctrine. What the people of the bible looked forward to was the "resurrection" with new bodies, living in new jerusalem ( the land flowing with milk and honey). So in that sense, neither Solomon, David, Abraham, etc made heaven, from my understanding of the bible though, and yes I could be wrong or right, it's open for discussion. |
Re: Did King Solomon Make Heaven? by Dtruthspeaker: 5:59pm On Jul 17, 2020 |
Daejoyoung: I believe you are right which is why my present Stand is to "Enter the Rest of the Lord" or in the alternative, I would have said "Enter into the Kingdom of God". But we understand that this Case is about Rising up to the Resurrection of Life and not death! |
Re: Did King Solomon Make Heaven? by uracefriend(m): 6:06pm On Jul 17, 2020 |
We cannot go by assumption. Someone said something key here. The Bible must record that he repented if he did. All we know is that he turned back from following God, which grieved God. Has nobody noticed the number 666 is used twice for both the antichrist and Solomon. The Bible gives us clues sometimes when something isn't expressly stated. May God help us. Life is all about our devotion to God first, and then humanity. Eternal life should never be gambled or negotiated for any basis whatsoever. |

Daejoyoung:Jesus Christ, the New Covenant, is explicit about the promise of a Kingdom of Heaven. Beginning in Matthew 5, He makes clear through the details of the blessings of the Covenant that indeed Heaven is a destination for a select. In Matthew 6, i believe, He continues by explicitly commanding that all His followers seek First the Kingdom of Heaven, and God's righteousness... In Matthew 25, He reiterates that only a select will indeed enter into the Kingdom of Heaven. Jesus Christ also provides at least 10 parables about said Kingdom of Heaven, and even states that only those who become like children will indeed enter into the Kingdom of God. Just as the disciples were able to learn of there acceptance into the Kingdom while they were yet alive, i believe everyone who is chosen will know even while they yet live that indeed the Kingdom awaits them after they close their eyes for the last time here on earth. The old Covenant did not offer each individual israelite eternal life, not did it come with a promise of everlasting life for each of the children of Israel. So it cannot be compared to the New Covenant that is Jesus Christ, and so cannot be used as a valid argument against all that Jesus Christ said about the Kingdom of God being a destination and not a state of mind(rest). |

Re: Did King Solomon Make Heaven? by Daejoyoung: 7:30pm On Jul 17, 2020 |
Kobojunkie:Well the kingdom jesus spoke about is not a spiritual place above the skies, it is a kingdom that would be here on earth but given from above. The kingdom of God simply means the rule of God. That rule is to be here on earth, the kingdom would accompany the resurrection of dead bodies, where the righteous rule with christ and reign. Jesus taught us to live our lives as though the kingdom has already begun with us here on earth. All his parables were about that physical kingdom that was to be given from above, not established by the hands of men. This is in sync with the old testament promise also. 1 Like |

Dtruthspeaker: By his foolishness you say? is Solomon not the wisest man ever to be? if Solomon is considered foolish in your sight, then how great must be your foolishness?? Think about it! |
Re: Did King Solomon Make Heaven? by dontrulee: 8:49pm On Jul 17, 2020 |
uracefriend: Everyone in the old testament will most likely be in paradise not heaven. No human is in heaven yet, but a lot of people are in paradise. Jesus preached to all the spirits in prison, and majority if not all of them will definitely accept. so Jezebel, Pharoah and the likes will most likely be in Paradise according to the scriptures. |
