In his dream<\/a> Solomon asked for a discerning mind<\/em>, to distinguish right from wrong (1 Kings 3:6-9 NET).<\/p>\n

You demonstrated great loyalty to your servant, my father David, as he served you faithfully, properly, and sincerely. \u00a0You have maintained this great loyalty to this day by allowing his son to sit on his throne. \u00a0Now, O Lord (<\/em>ye<\/sup>h\u00f4v\u00e2h, \u05d9\u05d4\u05d5\u05d4<\/a>)<\/em> my God (<\/em>\u02bc\u0115l\u00f4h\u0131\u0302ym, \u05d0\u05dc\u05d4\u05d9<\/a>)<\/em>, you have made your servant king in my father David\u2019s place, even though I am only a young man and am inexperienced. \u00a0Your servant stands among your chosen people; they are a great nation that is too numerous to count or number. \u00a0So give your servant a discerning mind so he can make judicial decisions for your people and distinguish right from wrong. \u00a0Otherwise no one is able to make judicial decisions for this great nation of yours [Table<\/a>]<\/em>.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

<\/a>In response God promised Solomon a wise and discerning mind superior to that of anyone who has preceded or will succeed you<\/em>1<\/sup><\/a>\u2014in the dream.\u00a0 <\/a>But Solomon broke every law<\/a> God gave the kings of Israel while wide-awake.\u00a0 Surely Solomon\u2019s alleged wisdom was grossly overstated!<\/p>\n

Okay, enough of this self-righteous snit.\u00a0 You notice what just happened.\u00a0 I\u2019m all up in arms because the wise and discerning mind<\/em> God allegedly gave Solomon was neither wise enough nor discerning enough to protect Solomon from falling afoul of the laws God gave the kings of Israel.\u00a0 <\/a>I reasoned that God-given discernment at a minimum should have made the king wise enough to follow God\u2019s rules for kings, or God-given discernment can\u2019t be discernment given by God.\u00a0 It must have been only a dream.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Now faith becomes an act of self-denial, denying my reasoning to accept the difficult proposition that God-given discernment to know right from wrong was not sufficient<\/a> to keep Solomon, the one given a wise and discerning mind superior to that of anyone who has preceded or will succeed <\/em>him, from falling afoul of God\u2019s law.\u00a0 (And reasoning<\/em> may be over<\/em> or under<\/em> stating the case a bit.\u00a0 The premise that God-given discernment at a minimum should have made the king wise enough to follow God\u2019s rules for kings seemed obvious, intuitive, even axiomatic to me.)<\/p>\n

I want to review what has happened to me here.\u00a0 First when I focused only on the passage titled Solomon\u2019s Wealth<\/em>, I understood that Solomon was rich, powerful and wise<\/a>.\u00a0 Faith was fairly easy, requiring little of me.\u00a0 When I expanded the context to include Solomon\u2019s dream<\/a>, faith became more demanding.\u00a0 I needed to confront and either ignore or deny the wisdom of scholarly historians<\/a>.\u00a0 When I expanded the context to include God\u2019s law<\/a> faith, holding all three of these passages simultaneously in a state of equilibrium I call true<\/em>, requires me to deny my intuition, my reason and my wisdom.\u00a0 This is the most difficult demand of all.\u00a0 Is this what God meant by the passage titled Solomon\u2019s Wealth<\/em>?<\/p>\n

<\/a>I said I don\u2019t believe in God because Solomon was richer than all his contemporaries.\u00a0 Why do I believe?<\/a><\/p>\n

I would like to elevate the tip of my nose a few degrees above the horizon and say that years of Bible study have persuaded me that the Bible is true and therefore the God revealed in its pages is also true and my God.\u00a0 But that\u2019s not true.\u00a0 The Bible has been a source of inspiration, irritation and frustration ever since I was old enough to read it.\u00a0 It\u2019s not the reason I believe God.\u00a0 It may be what<\/em> I believe about God, but my reasons for believing are more personal.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I remember what my life was like when I believed God was evil, at least devious and misleading.\u00a0 I told him I understood his silly little game<\/a> and I would beat him at it.\u00a0 I remember what I meant by \u201csilly little game.\u201d\u00a0 I don\u2019t have a clue how I intended to beat him at it.\u00a0 That might have been youthful bravado rather than a seriously considered point of view.<\/p>\n

<\/a>Believing in an evil God was more than I could do for the long haul.\u00a0 Eventually, I didn\u2019t believe in Him at all, or didn\u2019t believe that He existed at all.\u00a0 I remember what my life was like as an atheist.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I\u2019ll use the term atheist<\/em> from time to time, but don\u2019t think I was a happy, relieved or content atheist.\u00a0 I was pissed off that I\u2019d wasted so much of my life believing in \u201cdog spelled backwards.\u201d\u00a0 Though I didn\u2019t go quite so far in my own thinking I can certainly appreciate Nietzsche\u2019s<\/a> dilemma revealed in his later writings (Ecce Homo<\/em><\/a> especially), the atheist who absolutely needed God to exist just so he could justify hating him so much.<\/p>\n

<\/a>I remember what my life was like as a na\u00efve and religious child.\u00a0 I remember what my life was like as a philosophical and legalistic young man fighting his way back from atheism.\u00a0 And I certainly know my life as an older man with a, by and large, open-ended confidence in the goodness of God.\u00a0 And I\u2019m not going to throw that away because I\u2019m having some difficulty wrapping my mind around a couple of passages in the Bible.<\/p>\n

I\u2019ve already acknowledged<\/a> that I am rarely, if ever, working with something so concrete as \u201cGod said it.\u201d\u00a0 I\u2019m always working with my understanding, my interpretation of what God said.\u00a0 I might even put words in God\u2019s mouth sometimes.\u00a0 So when I\u2019m having a rational problem with passages in the Bible, the first place to look for something squeegee is in my understanding, my interpretation and the words I\u2019ve put in God\u2019s mouth.\u00a0 I\u2019ve learned to give God and the Bible the benefit of the doubt.\u00a0 It comes at the sacrifice of some certainty and peace of mind, changing my mind periodically, what I think I know.\u00a0 But it keeps an old man nimble and light on his feet.<\/p>\n
