   Ecclesiastes 1:1   
      
   The words of the Teacher, son of David, king in Jerusalem:   
   <...>   
   12 I, the Teacher, was king over Israel in Jerusalem.   
   13 I applied my mind to study and to explore by wisdom   
   all that is done under the heavens.   
   ==   
      
   Solomon says what is on =his= mind,   
      
   but nowhere do we see;   
      
   "The Word of YHWH came to me and said such and such"   
      
   no, he applies -his- heart and mind and guess what, Solomon is =Vexed=   
      
   so?   
      
   allst i'm saying is that you can't rely on everything that   
   comes out of Solomon's mouth as if Jesus himself had said it,   
   because Jesus -didn't- say these things, Solomon did.   
      
   Solomon was /anointed/ as King of Israel   
      
   but nowhere do we see ;   
      
   "and The Spirit of YHWH came upon Solomon"   
      
   and besides, other men were anointed King of Israel   
   and they did -evil- in the sight of YHWH, so   
   just being /anointed/ King of Israel doesn't mean   
   that The Spirit of Christ dwells within or   
   is even come upon such a one.   
      
   no, Solomon sets his own heart and mind in the things which VEX him.   
      
   and he doesn't always have an answer to these VEXing problems.   
      
   so?   
      
   allst i'm saying is that you can't rely on everything that   
   comes out of Solomon's mouth as if Jesus himself had said it,   
   because Jesus -didn't- say these things, Solomon did.   
      
   not at all putting Solomon down nor denigrating him in any manner   
      
   but -he- , Solomon, doesn't -claim- to be speaking For YHWH God.   
      
   that's all.   
      
   so?   
      
   so ,pulling out a Solomon quote and saying ;   
      
   "there that settles it"...-doesn't-...settle ...anything   
      
   ...Solomon is Vexed...
