What is the Song of Solomon?

I think you've correctly applied, but mis-spelled the word "crass"

My moneys on jaywill on this one. By a country mile to boot (which would be unusual when it comes to betting against you. But then again, I didn't reckon on you "inking it up" either ) As with Hell, God is limited to describing environments in a manner we can (at least begin to) comprehend. Not that that means Hell actually involves high temperatures. How would you describe heaven and to be with God if not like this? What could be better that to be at the breast of the woman you love (if in describing "the best", you limited to describing things in a manner we can (at least begin to) comprehend?

I like Buzz, but his take on Revelation just has me thumping my head 'gainst the heel of my hand.He jumps into the cauldron of the detail regarding every word - in order to get it to fit history. But once you hop outside a chronological/historical perspective and take the overview of Gods activity generally, things become a darn sight clearer.In my view at least. Buzz reaches w.r.t. Revelation. The same kind of wood-for-trees thing can be applied here.- Do you find (as I do) that you only really see "by faith alone" in Christ words once having been illuminated regarding the mechanics by the apostle Paul?That is to say: Paul and Christ come from quite different angles - if taken in isolation - but they are totally complimentary if taken together. That neither took this sexual angle doesn't mean they are divorced from it. Doesn't Pauls language drip of union from the pores? Of course it does.That union, which "no eye has seen and cannot comprehend" is somewhat (as best a God can manage) explained here. Sexually does it, in but one of the way it can be explained, best.- No argument there. But can I counter-suggest that the Bible is not primarily a cultural document on sex? Sure, it comments against the current/everculturethateverlived - that sees sex as a commodity or a powertrip or a drug or a ....what it has everbeen illicitly used for.But more that that. This book elevates human sex to be as God intended it to be: an expression of total love and union between two personhoods. And he did so to illustrate as best as can be, the total love and union that will exist between two other personhoods. Namely the ( and jaywills oft described) union between God and man.Of which I am myself convinced. Edited by iano, : No reason given.Edited by iano, : No reason given.
