Engraving of Solomon discerning the rightful motherwhen he had his senses about him.
I see from the Burning Bush and CMH websites Edwin Lundy has been out and about doing what he does best. Bringing the whole counsel of God into disrepute.
Solomon was much wiser than Edwin but his dalliances with oriental pagan religions helped to hasten his downfall. The nation of Israel intially respected Solomon when they were in awe of his ability to discern rightful judgement.
Edwin and his crew continue in their merry way because they do not believe any church discipline will be launched in their direction.
Do the Dupes think they will fare any better than Solomon????
Isaiah 44:9 They that make a graven image are all of them vanity; and their delectable things shall not profit; and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know; that they may be ashamed.

Ver. 9. They that make a graven image are all of them vanity,....
They show themselves to be vain men, by making such vain things as graven images are; both images, makers, and worshippers of them are all vain, yea vanity itself:
and their delectable things shall not profit;........
Their idols made of gold and silver, or covered with them, and adorned with precious stones, and so delightful and desirable, are of no manner of profit and advantage, unless the matter they are made of, and the ornaments about them, were converted to other uses; yet not as gods, and worshipped as such, who can be of no service to their worshippers to help them in distress, or save them from ruin:
and they are their own witnesses; they see not, nor know that they may be ashamed;......
They that made them must be witnesses against themselves, and the idols they have made; they must be convicted in their own consciences that they cannot be gods; they must be sensible that they have no sight nor knowledge of persons and things; that they cannot see, nor know their worshippers, nor their wants, and cannot give them relief; and this they ought to acknowledge to their own shame that made them, and that their worshippers of them might be ashamed also.
