How come Solomon only said that the world will not stand if wives are not loved? how come he didn't say that i

Back in time when Solomon said this men were the heads of the house, men made all the decisions, had total control of all the money and made life good or bad for their wives.\nA husband who did not love his wife was more likely to make her unhappy & miserable but one who loved his wife treated her well and she was happy.\n\nA happy relationship affects all of your life specially your attitude so a happy person with a good, happy life can conduct his business and live better which in turn affects everyone he comes into contact with

He war married.  Per Jewish tradition ONLY the groom could provide the refreshments at the wedding. In the wedding at Cana Mary went to Jesus and told him the wine had run out. Unless he was the Groom he had no reason to help nor would Mary have had a reason to inform him of the situation.  \n\nAlso has he was call Rabbi he was required to have been married to hold that title in the Jewish faith.\n\nIf it was not Mary Magdalene that he married why did he appear to her 1st after his Resurrection?  That is an action you would associate with a spouse.  \n\nAs for the Bible not mentioning it? Maybe the writers of the books that are in the Bible felt it was not important enough or else they did not want her disparaged as he is by many today, a sign of respect for her.  Or maybe when is mentioned that those books were not chosen to be in the Bible or were destroyed before the Bible was compiled.  \n\nSo if you want to know, research for yourself and pray. That is what I did. I know he was married beyond a doubt because of my prayers.

Doesn't the bible preach acceptance and love... doesn't it also say that our job isn't to judge, because he will do that?\nMy question is, why worry about people being gay, when we can't take care of our own citizens... and parts of the world hate us so much they are willing to die to kill us?  Is it really that important?  I don't think so!

A better question is do you treat your woman like the Bible says you should?\n\nCol. 3:19 Husbands, love your wives and do not be harsh with them.\n\nEp. 5:25 Husbands, love your wives, just as Christ loved the church and gave himself up to death for her.

Interesting, that is what you call "keeping the scripture in context." See, I have asked allot of questions about why Paul said woman must "be silent, an are not allowed to teach or have authority over man."\n\n1 Cor 11:6-7,1 Cor 14:34,1 Tim 2:12\n\nAnd I got answers telling me I am taking it out of context, strangely, when the same question gets asked about gays, they quickly condemn gays to hell without looking at the "context" of the phrase or scripture. It seems you can justify any kind of in-tolerance with the bible when you take it "out of context". \n\nPersonally i think the book is full of hypocrisy and bias, but that is just me...

A GREAT KING NAMED SOLOMON, WAS THE WISEST MAN ON THE FACE OF THE PLANET.. HE WAS NOT JUST WISE, HE WAS SUPER RICH.  \n\nHE WROTE THAT HE HAD DONE EVERYTHING, HE BUILT PARKS, BUILDINGS, ORCHARDS, LAKES, HAD SINGERS, DANCERS, ANIMALS, AMASSED GOLD, SILVER, PRECIOUS STONES, HAD WIVES, EXTRA WOMEN (BY THE BOATLOADS), HE READ SO MUCH UNTIL HIS EYES GREW TIRED.  HE SOLVE GREAT MYSTERIES. FOR EXAMPLE..\n\nA TEST WAS GIVEN HIM TO TEST HIS WISDOM...\nHE WAS BROUGHT TWO BUNDLES OF FLOWERS AND ASKED IF HE COULD TELL WHICH WAS REAL...? HE DID NOT COME NEAR THE FLOWERS.\nAS HE THOUGHT HE CASUALLY ASKED SOMEONE TO OPEN A WINDOW.\nHE ANSWERED.  "THOSE ARE THE REAL ONES.. PEOPLE WERE SHOCKED.. BUT HE SAW THE BEE THAT LANDED ON THE PEDDLES."  THAT IS WHY HE ASKED FOR A WINDOW TO BE OPENED.\n\nHE HAD A QUEEN THAT CAME TO VISIT HIM, THE QUEEN OF SHEBA, BECAUSE SHE HEARD OF HIS GREAT WISDOM, SHE BROUGHT GIFTS THAT WOULD AMOUNT TO WINNING 5 TO 6 LOTTERIES AT ONCE... AND WHAT SHE SAW, FROM HIS WEALTH AND POWER, AND ASTONISHING WORDS OF WISDOM, EVEN DOWN TO THE CHEERFULNESS OF KING SOLOMON'S SERVANTS, TOOK HER BREATH AWAY. SHE EXCLAIMED, "OH KING, I HAVE HEARD OF YOUR FAME, WHICH IS WHY I CAME TO HEAR YOUR WORDS, BUT THE HALF HAD NOT BEEN TOLD"\n\nAT THE END OF HIS ENDEAVOURS TO FIND OUT WHAT WOULD FULFIL A PERSON'S LIFE HE WROTE, "HERE IS THE CONCLUSION OF THE MATTER.  FEAR GOD AND KEEP HIS COMMANDMENTS, FOR THIS IS THE WHOLE DUTY OF MAN."   (meaning mankind)

"Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: \n       Do not arouse or awaken love \n       until it so desires. "\n\nIn this passage, this is spoken by the beloved (the woman) and is a word of advice to her sisters (other women) that Love will come in time according to God's will and can not be forced or manipulated.

Yes the Bible also says this, but unfortunately, like everything else, it is often twisted around to excuse people's bad behavior.\n\nJesus asked that if a person could not love his brother who he has seen, how can he love God who he has not seen. \n\nOften a person will say, "Oh, well that refers to SPIRITUAL" brothers and sisters". I can treat my physical brother like crap .... and still be a CHRISTIAN.\n\nStrange, these same perverts want their kids to honor their "FLESHLY" parents, don't they? I call them pervert because they pervert Jesus teachings.\n\nTo these folks, it doesn't matter what the bible has ever said ... people make it up as they go along and change the interpretation of the scripture to justify their circumstances.

Perhaps you're asking about the story of Solomon and the two women/mothers:\n\nIn 1 Kings 3:15-28 an account of Solomon's wisdom can be viewed as symbolic of the split in the Kingdom of Israel following the death of Solomon. In the story there are two new mothers, one of which who had smothered her baby during sleep and claimed the other woman's baby as her own. The problem is presented to King Solomon, who proposes the baby be split in half, each woman receiving one half of the child. The woman who was lying agrees to the "compromise," while the real mother immediately feels sympathy for her offspring. Rather than see her child killed, she says the baby belongs to the other woman. Solomon instantly gives the baby to the real mother, realizing that a true mother would compromise to see her offspring survive. \n\nhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Solomon#Solomon.27s_wisdom

I wish I knew where to reference this, but there is a story in the bible about a man with seven brothers (I think) and one dies the next marries the woman, and the next, until they all have married her one by one and died.  According to that story, none of them end up with her as their wife in heaven.  Everyone is there together and joyful essentially, everyone loves everyone else and everyone loves God in Heaven.  I wish I could explain it better, maybe someone here can.

Ah, I see you had David in mind as the purest.  I was thinking, Adam, inasmuch as, before he sinned, he was the purest man.  Scriptures indicate that Joseph overcame this temptation for two primary reasons:  he understood the principle which led to the law that came later (the law against adultery/fornication) and he understood and put into action the need to IMMEDIATELY flee from fornication.  David failed in this respect.  Instead, he allowed desire for Bathsheba to grow and take root in his heart.  Jeremiah says the heart is more treacherous than anything else and is desperate.  David's heart became desperate and led to his greed (desire out of control).  [A shame, really.  If David was feeling a little, shall we say, anxious, he already had a few wives who could have satisfied his desire.]  Joseph fled the scene before such a thing could develop in his heart.

read hebrws 13:4"Marriage is honarable among all, and the bed undefined; but for fornicators and adultterers God will judge".Also Hebrew 5:5 "For this you know, that no fornicator; unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater. has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God." I hope this helped.

King Solomon in in his older years had strayed away from God and tried to find the meaning of life with other things. In his search he fell into a deep depression. You can read about it in Ecclesiastes.\nBasically he finds that his life is empty without God and that all earthly things do not matter. He returned to follow God and found his joy.

You were not put on earth to please people everyday. I know\nthe Bible says for a wife to please her husband, but not for\nyou to wear youself out. Wives are not slaves. They don't bow down to their husbands everyday saying "yes master". A\nwife has things she does and so does the husband. Now when\nthe husband starts complaining about everything you do then he has a problem. He's busy focusing on finding error instead of praising you for your work. A wife can only do so\nmuch. A woman's body was not made to do alot of rough and \ntough work. We are delicate and soft all the way to the last\ntouch. So you see he has a problem. He needs to praise you\nfor your work instead of complaining. You are doing your very best and that is all that matters.

:}\nBible says that\nbut it also says:\nJohn 4:1  Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
