Song of Solomon
Just wanted to know what you guys thought of this book in the bible.
Do you think its just about marriage or also parallels Christ and His relationship with His bride?

◄ Song of Solomon 4:2 ►
Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing. Each has its twin; not one of them is alone
Thats how kiwis flirt with their spouses

Re: Song of Solomon
Its a love song, we may draw parallels out of it, but I doubt it was written with the church in mind.
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if
the Thing on the ice got them tonight.
I could only turn and stare in horror at the chief surgeon.
Death by starvation is a terrible thing, Goodsir, continued Stanley.
And with that we went below to the flame-flickering Darkness of the lower deck
and to a cold almost the equal of the Dante-esque Ninth Circle Arctic Night

Re: Song of Solomon
I am saying you may draw out of it today, the parallels, but the question to ask is, when Solomon was writing it down, was it the church he was thinking about?

Well if you believe the bible is inerrant and inspiried by the HS then all the possible meanings and parallels would already be there from the beginningneo-x wrote:I am saying you may draw out of it today, the parallels, but the question to ask is, when Solomon was writing it down, was it the church he was thinking about?

Re: Song of Solomon
Of course he wasn't thinking about the church. God hadn't yet revealed that he would establish the church. But God inspired the writers of the Bible and as a result their writings often had meanings they weren't aware of.neo-x wrote:I am saying you may draw out of it today, the parallels, but the question to ask is, when Solomon was writing it down, was it the church he was thinking about?

Re: Song of Solomon
Well let's just say there is no other way to justify its presence in the canon except the allegorical anthropomorphic reading of the text. The Hebrews read it as a love discourse between God and Israel and, mind you, it is from there where the christian church took its meaning too, except they replaced Israel with the church.theophilus wrote:Of course he wasn't thinking about the church. God hadn't yet revealed that he would establish the church. But God inspired the writers of the Bible and as a result their writings often had meanings they weren't aware of.neo-x wrote:I am saying you may draw out of it today, the parallels, but the question to ask is, when Solomon was writing it down, was it the church he was thinking about?
Also if this was a book about church and the God, why then do the entire new testament never once refers to it or from it. It is in fact not even mentioned once, nor by the gospels nor by the apostles.
To further my point, if it was about the church and God then the apostles and even Christ would refer to it in the N.T, since the gospels and the epistles both tirelessly refer to the O.T again and again, trying to prove to the Jewish audience of the Messiah in the O.T and yet they completely skip this book which, according to you is entirely comprised of Christ and the church, having no other meanings, theological or otherwise.
Doesn't that sound strange to you?
Not to put too fine a point on it, there are no scriptural grounds to say that the song is an allegory between Christ and the church.
You could call it that if you like as many do, but its a baseless speculation which has no warrant in scripture.
It would be a blessing if they missed the cairns and got lost on the way back. Or if

Re: Song of Solomon
He does and yet never once quotes from the Song of Solomon to say, "hey you know its been prophesied" or "it was written so its fulfilled now"?
It is not that I reject that the church being the bride of Christ, my point if you think about it is that the song of Solomon is not about Christ and the church.

Re: Song of Solomon
It seems "spicy" to you in the modern context of today, in times old, literature like that was probably a good wedding song.
And if not that how else do you suppose this christian-church-love-book was never once quoted by the apostles seemingly more so since according to you, it directly talks about Christ and his church, in the old testament? I mean its too good to skip over and yet the apostles quote from books right and left of it but leaves this particular book untouched, not even mentioning it once.
Further what scriptural basis you have to say it talks about Christ or the church? Feel free to list any.
