By now most have heard about the threat President Trump made against Iran which amounted the genocide of the people of Iran, if the evil regime did not comply.

I for one, found it shocking and profane. I thought he came across as unhinged.

However, another Reformed Christian said the following and I am wrestling with the matter.

Basically that if you are going to say that about President Trump. You better be willing to say that about King Solomon concerning coming up with the solution of cutting the baby in half.

Quote
Solomon’s immoral threat garnered praise for being the most wise.

They argued back and forth in front of Solomon, until finally he said, “Both of you say this live baby is yours. Someone bring me a sword.”

A sword was brought, and Solomon ordered, 25 “Cut the baby in half! That way each of you can have part of him.”

Everyone in Israel was amazed when they heard how Solomon had made his decision. They realized that God had given him wisdom to judge fairly.

Thoughts?
