I enjoy his forthrightness but some of his warnings hit too close for a silent nod or even a no argument agreement... so i am going to spend a little more time salvaging his lessons and how I am to apply them in my life. For some reason I strongly feel that this is somehow a manual on how to...how not to...
I agree to disagree with him on the way he teaches his son about women. I know that women were not regarded as God’s children, who must be treated with respect and dignity, and while he give praise to the woman I wonder if he stretched the message that God inspired him to convey. Was he using the airtime to share his confession because he sound to me a bit bitter about his choices in sexual relationships and blames the woman - classic case of Adam syndrome. I wonder what God had to say on that and what bout Jesus would he agree that a woman is like a drippy faucet. He is not stating what provoked the woman. Maybe she was asking him to help out with the children or fixing the tap in the kitchen that he used to symbolize her frustration or nagging which ever it was.
Even after finding the woman that made him sing and dance with joy and God knows what else; I wondered what he had to say to defend his annoyance of women and of children who teach their parent’s the core value of self responsibility. I understand that there are cases of gross neglect to care for loved ones; however, is a child responsible for the choices of his/her parents?
Frankly, I have been spending a lot of time wanting to slap Solomon and pull his ear off yet somehow, he makes his point so evidently clear that it is very thought provoking and renders me to respect what he shares as God’s way of examining my heart’s condition.
I wonder what he would have told his daughter(s)!
Oh well, these proverbs must be in the bible for the same reason that the Book of Psalms is! To remind me that God knows the condition of my heart and I have to use my life, as He wants me too. Not doing so has its consequences. Other people’s experience is a great teacher and that I can learn when they recount their life lesson and their true confession.
Still have not found if they were relatives or people with similar consequential evidence.
