Lust or Love?Posted : 9 Aug, 2008 09:33 AMI believe by having the book in the Bible it demonstrates, liberates, teaches, provides hope, and encourages the expression of eros love between a man and a woman in the proper and appropriate context. |

Lust or Love?Posted : 9 Aug, 2008 05:56 PMI believe that the book Song of Solomon was put into the Bible for a married couple to study together. It helps their intimacy to grow stronger; they appreciate each other more. I also believe that God wants this to be a model of a Christian marriage - a way to keep the "fire burning" in both husband and wife. |

Lust or Love?Posted : 9 Aug, 2008 06:53 PMI have always thought the Song of Solomon was tastefully sensual from a natural point of view. I don't believe anything in God's word would be there unless there was a purpose. I feel if you look a little deeper into it, it is portrayed as an allegory of God's love for the bride. (Church) |

Lust or Love?Posted : 9 Aug, 2008 07:43 PMThe Song of Solomon is probably the most sensual book in the Bible which was so tastefully done you just can't put it down until you've read it from cover to cover. I don't believe it would have been authenicated if it were a book on lust. Solomon used the five senses to describe the attributes of love. To see, to hear, to taste, to touch, and to smell the essence of his beloved portrayed the love relationship in every detail. |

Lust or Love?Posted : 11 Aug, 2008 06:49 AMI have heard it preached on by different people as a comparison of Christ and his Church (bride) which would make it more palatable to the majority of readers. Kind of a foreshawdowing of Christ's love and return as well as the churches love for Christ. I'm not sure that it was intended as such but it works for me and justifies the book. |
