(1 Kings 3; 11) 2ND CATEGORY OT QUESTION 18. WHY IS SOLOMON IN THE SPIRIT OF WISDOM, ALTHOUGH HIS MANNERS WERE FAR FROM PURE, SINCE HE WAS DOMINATED BY THE UNREGULATED LOVE OF WOMEN? — Solomon first received the spirit of wisdom for his personal conduct; and after he had abandoned himself to the disordered and criminal love of women, if he still had this spirit of wisdom, it was in the interest of his kingdom; and it was for the same reason that Nebuchadnezzar saw Jesus Christ in the furnace. |
