AND MAY I ADD that despite Solomon being already married…he was not afraid to pursue another woman of his dream…he even stands outside of her home looking at the woman he loves; may i asked: WHO AMONG THE MARRIED MEN CAN DO THIS NOW? I tried it myself one time and boy…was i looked with disgust by the mother of the girl i liked despite the fact that i have helped their families quite a bit-they thought i was a sex maniac! Imagine a married man pursuing a virgin…the whole deceived world looks at it as a sin!

We therefore see that the outlook of the whole world donot square at all at the pure & simple outlook that was among the chosen people of God-it is alien to the people of the world. No wonder that jesus warns that there will come a time when people will imprison you and do all evil things against you supposedly for God, but He tells us that they donot know Him nor His Father!Can you say amen to my opinion? If you can’t your light is a little dim!
