BTW what does solomon have to do with if catholicism is idolatry??? Are you trying to say because he was taken away in idolatry that one can do it now and still inherit the kingdom?

No I'm not speculating he's in hell, either way it doesn't matter cayse if he in heaven it wouldn't justify idoalatry, would it?
Was paul wrong for teaching idolators will not inherit the kingdom?
Here it is, black and white. Was Solomon lost?
But king Solomon loved many strange women, together with the daughter of Pharaoh, women of the Moabites, Ammonites, Edomites, Zidonians, and Hittites:
Of the nations concerning which the LORD said unto the children of Israel, Ye shall not go in to them, neither shall they come in unto you: for surely they will turn away your heart after their gods: Solomon clave unto these in love.
And he had seven hundred wives, princesses, and three hundred concubines: and his wives turned away his heart.
For it came to pass, when Solomon was old, that his wives turned away his heart after other gods: and his heart was not perfect with the LORD his God, as was the heart of David his father.
For Solomon went after Ashtoreth the goddess of the Zidonians, and after Milcom the abomination of the Ammonites.
And Solomon did evil in the sight of the LORD, and went not fully after the LORD, as did David his father.
He was not only an Idolater, he was a whoremonger. Will you answer the question?

Fortunately, we know that Solomon didn't finish the way his life sometimes ebbed and flowed. In fact, that's the rich beauty of Ecclesiastes.
I can't help but notice the writer in 1 Samuel saying that Solomon did evil, then contrasting him to David... Hmmm. Of course David was a "man after God's own heart" while this story says Solomon didn't follow "fully" after the LORD.

Socialite, the redeeming factor of the Bible is that great men showed weakness and flaw, something many Apostolics are afraid of!!
A lot of people around here are connection-challenged!
Don't be so hard on yourself, Tim-may.
