Who is wiser? Part 2

Whoever cared to read my previous post and actually took the time to think about the question I had posed there had enough time to think about it. So, I will now give my own opinion on this matter.
Who is wiser? Jesus or Solomon? My vote goes to Jesus. I'll tell you why. No, it's not a simple answer that goes like this, "because he is God". That is not the reason I wanna give. I first want to clear up some things, some assumptions. Wisdom is not the exact same thing as IQ. A person's IQ may be very high, but he may not be a wise person after all. For example, the international chess legend, Bobby Fischer's IQ was supposedly off the charts, but he wasn't a really wise man. If he was, he wouldn't have been ignored by the world (except for his die hard fans and the nation, Iceland) as an insane person out of touch with this world and living in a dream world of his own making. Another person was Nikola Tesla, who was considered an eccentric genius.

I think wikipedia defines wisdom perfectly. It says

"Wisdom is knowledge, understanding, experience, discretion, and intuitive understanding, along with a capacity to apply these qualities well towards finding solutions to problems. It is the judicious and purposeful application of knowledge that is valued in society. To some extent the terms wisdom and intelligence have similar and overlapping meanings."

King Solomon was granted amazing wisdom by God. Infact, he was blessed with so much wisdom that the bible says

"King Solomon exceeded all the kings of the earth for riches and for wisdom" - 1 Kings 10:23

But, if you look at the end of Solomon's life as recorded in the bible, it says that

"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.

Then did Solomon build an high place for Chemosh, the abomination of Moab, in the hill that is before Jerusalem, and for Molech, the abomination of the children of Ammon.

And likewise did he for all his strange wives, which burnt incense and sacrificed unto their gods.

And the LORD was angry with Solomon, because his heart was turned from the LORD God of Israel" - 1 Kings 11:1-9

Solomon indeed had a profound wisdom. If you want to hear Solomon's wisdom, read the books of Proverbs and Ecclesiastes in the Old Testament in the bible. But sadly, all that Solomon preached and taught, he failed to apply it in his own life. So, what good was his wisdom to him?

Jesus on the other hand didn't mess up his life. So, in this aspect, He was one up on Solomon. Secondly, in an indirect way, Solomon himself attests to the wisdom of Jesus. Want to know how? See what Solomon himself said towards the end of his life.

Solomon said, when taking stock of his life in his old age,

"Let us hear the conclusion of the whole matter: Fear God, and keep his commandments: for this is the whole duty of man.

For God shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good, or whether it be evil." - Ecclesiastes 12: 13, 14

Jesus did fear God (the Father) perfectly. So, Solomon vicariously through his writings in Ecclesiastes attests to the wisdom of Jesus, by laying down the only perfect standard of living to which Jesus conformed perfectly.

So, now there are atleast two testimonies agreeing to the fact that Jesus was the wiser of the two.

First, scriptures when it says

"And Jesus increased in wisdom and stature" - Luke 2:52

Secondly, Solomon himself.

In addition to these two, we also have Jesus' own testimony to this when He said

"The queen of the south shall rise up in the judgment with the men of this generation, and condemn them: for she came from the utmost parts of the earth to hear the wisdom of Solomon; and, behold, a greater than Solomon is here." - Luke 11:31

Now I rest my case. I listed atleast three witnesses to Jesus' wisdom. Scriptures, Solomon and Jesus himself.

Personally, I think Jesus was the wisest man who ever lived.
