To: Hebrews 11:6
"My point is that it wouldn’t surprise me if Solomon had ventured beyond his female harem into orgies, pedophilia, homosexuality, bestiality, necrophilia...."

No: The Holy Spirit is not known to hide such sins even among less notable persons, and we are wrongly presumptuous when we postulate such when the Spirit has described the iniquity of Solomon, and would mention sodomy if it was part of it. Best to be silent when the Bible provides no real warrant for conjecture.

I am not condemning or judging Solomon, but I know an implication when I see one. The Holy Spirit is not inscrutable, and he does not expect or mandate willful blindness. When He describes unprecedented sexual deviancy, He invites inevitable conclusions. All I am presuming is that further deviancy is not ruled out.

You suit yourself, Daniel.

Best wishes,
Dan
