How do we know biblical teachings on pleasures are true?

Answered in 1 source

The truth of biblical teachings on pleasures is demonstrated through the wisdom of Solomon and the assertion that all pleasures under the sun are vain.

In Ecclesiastes 2, Solomon, in his pursuit of understanding, explores various aspects of pleasure, such as laughter, eating, and riches. He concludes that these pursuits are ultimately meaningless and do not provide true fulfillment. His findings align with the broader biblical perspective that human wisdom and pleasure are transient. The wisdom of Scripture, especially as articulated by Solomon, affirms that apart from God and Christ, all earthly endeavors ultimately lead to vanity and dissatisfaction, reinforcing the truth that only a relationship with Christ truly fulfills the human soul.
