I HAVE BUT ONE MESSAGE!……

[King SolomonParticipant 0]

“Though I have searched repeatedly, I have not found what I was looking for. Only one out of a thousand men is virtuous, but not one woman!” Ecclesiastes 7:28 NLT

Jamieson-Fausset-Brown Bible Commentary
One man—that is, worthy of the name, “man,” “upright”; not more than one in a thousand of my courtiers (Job 33:23; Ps 12:1). Jesus Christ alone of men fully realizes the perfect ideal of “man.” “Chiefest among ten thousand” (So 5:10). No perfect “woman” has ever existed, not even the Virgin Mary. Solomon, in the word “thousand,” alludes to his three hundred wives and seven hundred concubines. Among these it was not likely that he should find the fidelity which one true wife pays to one husband.
Connected with Eccles 7:26 NLT: “I discovered that a seductive woman is a trap more bitter than death. Her passion is a snare, and her soft hands are chains. Those who are pleasing to God will escape her, but sinners will be caught in her snare.”

Amen, that’s exactly how I feel……Does this mean I’m no longer a heretic? That’s a relief!

MG-TOWER  you found some wisdom in an unexpected place?

I was bound to be misunderstood, and I laugh at those who misunderstand me. Kind mockery at the well intentioned, but unfettered cruelty towards those would be prison guards of my creative possibilities. This so as to learn as much from misunderstanding as from understanding. Taking pleasure in worthy opponents and making language fluid and flowing like a river yet pointed and precise as a dagger. Contradicts the socialistic purpose of language and makes for a wonderful linguistic dance, A verbal martial art with constant parries that hone the weapon that is the two edged sword of my mouth.
