This is a great example of what it means not to JUDGE someone, we are to judge people by what they say, (out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaks.)
We should never Judge if someone goes to one side of the gulf or the other,
but do judge by what comes out of their mouth if you should be hanging around them or not. |

Mark Eaton~
Thanks for the kind words! I doubt that I'll come on here so actively again like I once did. I'm so glad God showed me this site though since it reawakened an even stronger passion for God inside of me, and I did learn an amazing amount about different people's views here. I'm sure you feel the same, even though I agree there are some aspects that are not so appealing.
Please google 'Paul Washer' and check out his sermons...he's a minister that both you and I would think was definitely preaching the exact truths of God. I am almost ready to mail him a few things. I hope God will use him in a mighty way in this dark day. You both look at sports the same ways etc.
Thanks for the encouragement and God bless! |

Anne:
Nice to see you posting again.
I think I understand why you took a break.
There seem to be many angry voices here that want to drown out the truth. I pray that we do not become so confused that this venue is corrupted and becomes worthless.
As you know, I recently posting here thinking that it would be "fun" to discuss backyard theology with other believers. I am becoming disillusioned about the "fun" here.
Stand strong, having girded yourself with truth, the truth of God's word. |

Both of the David responses below are correct. (David and David2) |

Bryan~ Please share with me the scripture that supports your theory. |

Speking for myself, I wouldn't want to sleep with even one porcupine - ouch!
Soloman repented and will be in the first resurrection. |

Please do not dwell on this issue, it should not be important to you. You maybe aware of Moses issue too. The devil was thinking Moses should be with him after-life but God had forgiven Moses before he died. What is more important according to the Lord Jesus Christ is that we should take care that our own errors do not take us to Hell(THE BEAM), the errors of others are regarded as inconsequential to us(THE SPECK) Matthew 7: 3-5. |

Solomon knew ALL that God had commanded through his ancestors. As the wisest man ever he knew the warnings shouted at the Jordan, and he knew the law of God. If you teach otherwise, you are leading the children who look up to you directly into sin. Solomon blasphemed the Spirit and if you believe Jesus, you know such abomination is unforgivable, no matter how "blessed" one may be. If you are His, you will know His voice, you will turn away from everything that is not entirely directed by Christ and be set free from the curse of the "wisdom" of man, that some of you here want to view as a blessing that can erase the 10 commandments AND the Gospel of Christ. Woe... |

When Jesus died on the cross, the bible teaches us that He went down into Hades and preached the gospel to everyone who had died before He had come. Now if Solomon had been lost, do you think he believed when he saw Jesus down there preaching? Solomon had more wisdom than any man in history, and God's gifts are irrovocable. If he was down there you better believe He heard the voice of his Shepherd! Amen! |

To say that a narrator wrote Ecclesiasts will need more proof than simply use of third person. Moses used third person referring to himself all throughout the Pentateuch. I have often mulled this question over with no clear answer. The account of King Solomon's apostatsy in 1 Kings is a general overview of the period at the end of his life. Ecclesiastes is his thoughts at the end of his life and where it lead him. I believe, based on the closing capter of Eccl. that he is most likely in heaven, but truly only God knows for sure. |

Solomon committed apostasy at the end of his life. Eccl 1:1-11 & 12:8-14 are the words of a narrator. The middle is Solomon's autobiography (notice shift from 1st person to 3rd person to 1st person). The 1st section is the narrators summary of Solomon's feelings & the last is the narrator's correction of Solomon's wrong thinking. |

Edward and Robert,
2 verses:
2sam 12:24 And David comforted Bathsheba his wife, and went in unto her, and lay with her: and she bare a son, and he called his name Solomon: and the LORD loved him.
Mal 3:6 For I am the LORD, I change not, therefore ye sons of Jacob are not consumed.
If the Lord ever once loved one, he loves them forever, and they do not go to hell.
That's my opinion for what it's worth. |

God made a judgment against King Solomon for the evil that Solomon did by following after strange gods and building altars to them. The judgment was that the Kingdom was to be taken out of his hands. A prophet told Jeroboam that he would receive ten of the twelve tribes. For this, Solomon sought to kill Jeroboam. There was no mention of repentance by Solomon up till his death. |

---David on 11/11/07 |
Solomon is not mentioned in Hebrews 11, I heard a preacher, say Solomon went to Hell, what do u think? |

"Okay, I'll take the bait! " 700 wives and about 300 porcupines ."? Billy!!! Either your sense of humor is as warped as mine or you're suffering from advanced Archie Bunkerism. Hilarious!" :D -Leon
LOL!! Wonderful, just wonderful!!! I needed a good laugh! |

He didnt go to heaven but will when Christ returns. He publicly repented of his wrongs when he realised it then wrote the book of Ecclesiastes to review his pursuit of what really was important in his life and ended saying "Fear God and give glory to Him".He had about 700 wives and about 300 porcupines |
|
---billy on 1/5/07 |
I believe He did and when he realised that he had fallen by the wayside badly, he repented and publicly..God says He forgive anyone who come to Him in repentence so yes. This is showing us no matter how ugly your sins are, He stil forgives..If you have murdered and repented, He will 4give praise Him...arent we so lucky to have a just God. |

Yes indeed, it's a really strange, morbid fascination some bloggers have Jack. :)
I too believe the same Mima.
Same to you & yours John!!!
I agree Rick. God knows the hearts of us all. I'd rather believe the Preacher (Ecc. 1:1, King Solomon) was wise enough (2 Chr. 1:10) to also judge/examine himself (2 Cor. 13:5), repent of his sins & return to the faith of his father (King David) before he died. |
|
---Leon on 1/4/07 |
Robert, That's a very strong statement. No one but God knows for sure. |
|
---Rick on 1/2/07 |
Hell. One of the core belief in christianity is that what matters is what you think about God when you die and as such Solomon left the true faith to believe in idols, he died with this belief. |
|
---Robert on 1/2/07 |
I don't know where he went. Only God knows, but I hope he is with God. I guess by being a child of God I hope the best for people. God bless you all and have a wonderful New Year. |

Heaven. Are you asking because of all the women trouble, many wives and concubines? |
|
---R.A. on 12/16/06 |
I believe these of the words of a man that went to heaven. I refer to Ecclesiastes 12:13-14 "Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man."
For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil. |
|
---Mima on 12/16/06 |
Why do some people here like to wonder who went to heaven and who didn't? |
