Theodoret of Cyrus

5th centuryChurch Father

After listing all other matters, the author notes that "all things written by the hand of the Lord were given to Solomon by David, as instructed by his understanding of the work of the image." It is important to highlight that, as previously mentioned, understanding was imparted to him through the Spirit, while here it is stated as being "by the hand of the Lord." Therefore, the Holy Spirit is recognized as Lord, which poses a challenge to those who oppose the Spirit.
