I ask this question because there is no correlation to God work and Song of Solomon in bible, and it seems explicit in celebrating sexual love, fornication and Romance. In short, those old days, when love letter was trending. Song Solomon was our dictionary.
How can some meaningful, Godly books like that of Enoch, st mary and co were removed from bible and song Solomon was kept. Has anybody ever quote from this book, while preaching the gospel to u?

where do you want our dear brethren to get pick up lines from?

Songs of Solomon is my favorite book in the Bible.

Deliberate attempt to send people to hell

What do you mean by pick up lines pls?

Someone should inform Righteousness89 that his attention is needed here.....
MEANWHILE
S.O.S. 1:1 Young woman: Kiss me again and again for your love is sweeter than wine....

Righteousness89:
Many people Misunderstand that Book!

The Songs of Solomon is all about GOD'S POWERFUL, PASSIONATE LOVE FOR HIS PEOPLE..

U means God sexual and romantic love for his people? That book is a big mistake in bible and it has no meaning or usefulness in regard to the spreading of the gospel. Or can you point out one, than romance and sexuality?

The answer is simple:

The book had a place in Judaism{even till this day it is read during Passover celebrations}.

And since Christianity is an offshoot of Judaism, it isn't quite strange that the Christians adopted it.

Now, you have to be open-minded when interacting with such a book of the scripture; half the time, people read that book without trying to fully grasp what level of importance the book and its contents held for the Jews of old and today and even for Christianity starting from the medieval times.

The logic is: The Hebrews/Jews saw{and still see} their relationship with the God{"Yahweh"} as that between a man and a woman- deep and intimate. As long as they stayed faithful, things went well and vice-versa, if things go the other way around.

And even then, whenever the woman went astray, the man still longed for her because he is smitten by her and she is "the apple of his eyes". Such was how the Hebrews saw their relationship with their God. For them the love was that intimate- emphasis on the word, *intimate*.

Another reason the book was accepted was also due to the fact that it was written by one of the most respected patriarchs of the Jewish society- King Solomon. For the Jews, the sexual innuendos in that book went deeper than what they meant on the surface. Those things were meant to illustrate how deep their love with Yahweh is.

So, how did Christians come to embrace it in the bible? Like I said earlier, Christianity is just an offshoot of Judaism. Both religions may have undergone a schism some thousands of years ago, but if you look deeply the influences of Judaism on Christianity still lurk in the background- sometimes even cropping up to the surface somewhat stubbornly.

So, in much the same manner that the Jews saw the Song of Solomon as nothing more than vivid illustration of the love between God and his people{the Hebrews/Jews}, the Christians chose to interprete it as a depiction of the love that the Christ has for the Church in genral and members of the church individually.

I hope this helps a bit?

You sound like a fundamentalist...

I hope you are not one.

Open your eyes and expand your horizon and then you will understand. That is what that fellow was trying to tell you.

It is that simple.

Afterthought: Damn... can't believe I just held brief for pastor "Righteousness". Weird...

Am a moralist, understand what plz, I should just understand without a concrete reason and biblical proof?

To show the bible isn't the word of God

OK. Noted.

A moralist.

But even as a moralist, you should always try at all times to understand certain things before roundly rebuking and criticizing them.

The Songs of Solomon is an enigma. It would take more than a mundane and superficial perusal to fully grasp its contents.

I am a student of the Literary arts{did a bit of religious studies too}, so I am trained to read and interprete works of art beyond their immediate meanings. You should adopt that same method in analysing this particular book.

All you need is an open mind. That's all.

May God Forgive you For Blasphemy..

Who are you Mere Ordinary Creature to say the Word of God is a Mistake?

This is How ur tongue ropes you into what you don't know..

That's a Foolish Statement from you. May God Forgive you

Wake up from your religious mental slavery and Roman scholars scam religion.
Ask yourself why the following books were removed from bible in 8th century by Roman scholars as result of what they agreed to be mistake in bible.

.The Gospel of the Infancy of Jesus Christ.
.The Infancy Gospel of Thomas.
.The Epistles of Jesus Christ and Abgarus King of Edessa.
.The Gospel of Nicodemus (Acts of Pilate)
.The Apostles' Creed (throughout history)
.The Epistle of Paul the Apostle to the Laodiceans.
ETC?
You here talking about blasphemy, who is blaspheming who? The selfish Roman bible scholars or me?

This explanation is way too simplistic for my health... *coughing*

You guys can do better on this forum.

For the records, same can be said for all the other "holy books".

The Song of Solomon was thought to be the oldest love poem; but all of that changed with the discovery and decipherment of cuneiform. The oldest love poem in the world is now recognized as The Love Song of Shu-Sin dated to 2000 BCE, long before The Song of Solomon was written.

In the ancient time, romance, love and sex is part of their lifetime

I believe the Holy Spirit allowed it for a reason cos I've used that book to write a very touching and romantic love and wooing letters.

With due respect, u still not make any reasonable point here. Can you point out one meaningful gospel verse from that book. I hav studied and reasoned that book years upon years, but it usefulness i cannot point out. Nobody hav ever refers to this book while preaching or winning souls?

You don't have to buy my lines but hey, you would have to be "Philistine" not to. It takes a whole lot of literary appreciation to do that.

So the bible mistake was agreed by some few Roman scholars, when they edit and removed some books originally from the bible. They are the one that blasphemy.

It's because you've never met the true Christians Jesus sent out to PREACH and TEACH people about God's Kingdom!

Would you like to be fully competent and completely equipped as a man of God?

Well then, you must learn how to compose and sing romantic poems and songs for your life partner like from Solomon who copied how to make sweet poems from the first man Adam! Genesis 2:23

Why do you think women troop around musicians?
Well it's because of our sweet romantic songs that keeps their hearts blissful all the time, no matter the condition a woman is once she's still aware that her love is safely in the heart of the man she chose
Lágbájá
said
"ojojúmó, party ijó". meaning
"it's celebrate all day long"

So when Jesus said "and they will become one" {Matthew 19:6} our Creator knows the value of sweet and praiseworthy songs {Revelations 14:3} therefore go and compose romantic poems for your wife/husband if (you're married) and see if he/she will ever wish to be far away from you any moment of your life!

The Song of Solomon was part of God's inspired expressions aimed at making you and i become fully competent and completely equipped husbands and wives in our homes! 2Timothy 3:16-17

God bless you!

Romantic bible. They can type up anything to defend fallacy and tales . Sexual romantic bible again.

Romantic bible. They can type up anything to defend fallacy and tales . Sexual romantic bible again.

You call it fallacy but we referred to it as the word of the living God who created Adam (male) and Eve (female), they were so intelligent that they are sensitive to pleasures like sweet melodies (music) and heartwarming expressions (poems)

So God knows far better than any of us, he can tell better what the heart of both the male and female needs to remain joyous! Hebrew 4:12

For your information, that's what made me left Islam and it's irrational religious sentiment for what is truly BENEFITIAL for mankind "Christianity"
