Solomon's DOWNFALL Kings xi4-l3
Golden Text.-Thou shalt have no
other Gods before me. Elk. xX:3.
Verses 4-5.-Should a Christian man
ever marry a worldly woman?
If a Christian marries a worldly wo-
man and really loves and respects her,
delighting in her company, is IL posi-
bic for him to be a holy man?
As a matter of fact, is it possible for
two 10 be united into one, as marriage
contemplates, if they are not one in
God? This question must be an
swered in writing by members of the
club
Suppose Solomon had selected godly
Hebrew women for his wives, what
would have been the result upon his
religious life?
Did Solomon sin in marrying more
than one wife?
In what sense did David's heart re-
main true To God, seeing that he, too,
had number of wives?
Ii a strong man can keep from undue
love of women. to what extent is that
guarantee of the favor Of God. with
health, long life and prosperity thrown
in?
Why is one man for one wife, Gods
ideal for the marriage relation?
Verses IS. Apart from his polyg
amy, in what other respects did Solo
mon So Signally sin against God?
Why is it that mans loyalty to the
true God IS such factor in his happi-
ness and b the continuity of his world
ly success?
Hundreds of strong brainy men are
serving long terms in pententaries;
what proportion of them would be
there if they had been true to the
Christians God?
The chief sin with which Solomon is
charged here is not SO much his polyg-
amy, as that he allowed his heather
wives to turn his heart from the true
God; now is il true that disloyalty to
God is the very worst of moral crimes,
as il is the foundation of every crime I?
Is polygamy a social crime because
the Bible says so, or does the Bible say
so, because it is so; that is, is il a crime
i'll the nature of things?
A devout Mohammedan is necessar-
lily polygamist, now would you say
that all such are under the ban of God ?
Verses 9-10.-Can anything happen
to disturb the natural complacence of
the eternal God?
What is that operation in God, or in
the law of God, which answers to an
ger in man?
How do you account for SolOmon's
apostacy, in view of Gods marvellous
appearances to him, and of Gods won
drous dealings with him, giving him
wisdom and riches and vast influence ?
Verses 1l.l3.-On what conditions
did God promise Solomon and his sons
prosperity and the establishment of his
throne forever?
In how many respects did Solomon
break his part in the covenant?
What is the only condition of every
mans continuous prosperity?
