It was
remarkable to me that Solomon composed a psalm dedicated to the Lord caring for
the poor. I could understand it coming
from David, because David had been in that position in his life, but Solomon
was born a prince and lived as a king. Poor
never described Solomon. And yet, he
praised that aspect of the Lord.
This
doesn’t seem like the behavior of a kind creating a religion. There are a number of religions in the world
that were created or modified by those in power, and the general trend of those
religions or philosophies are to augment the power of their creators (or
stabilize that power). But the true
faith, on the other hand, recognizes temporal power but also recognizes that
eternal power is more important.
