It’s only natural when someone links obeying commandments as noted in Ecclesiastes with Christianity to think that certain someone isn’t aware Ecclesiastes is in the Old Testament.

Yes, everyone needs to be humble to understand Christianity and accept Christ. Pride, I think, is the biggest stumbling block people have to accepting Christ and knowing the God of the universe.
Fear probably factors into it as well. It’s only natural to fear an entity so much more powerful and smarter than we are, in Whose Hands our lives rest.

Do you think FMF should humble himself before your posting here?
“Ask, and it shall be given you; seek, and ye shall find; knock, and it shall be opened unto you:
For every one that asketh receiveth; and he that seeketh findeth; and to him that knocketh it shall be opened.”
(Matthew 7:7-8)

Neither here nor there.
Tell me, does your Christianity extend to beyond your bedroom and your mother’s apron strings?

The info is available to FMF. What he does with it (or doesn’t do with it) is up to him.
