Heh, you do know there is a Spellcheck button for you to use, right? Nawh, I suck at spilling too! :D

I have read songs of soloman and yeah, it's pretty intense stuff. I wish I had a woman with whom I could write like that too let alone be allowed to love her that way. Well, untill then I can always dream... *sigh* :D

Yep, it's some pretty steamy stuff! :blush: I have always wanted my hair to be compared to "a flock of goats descending from Mount Gilead" and my teeth to a "flock of sheep just shorn, coming up from the washing". :D Must be the Old Testament way of saying "You're a hottie!" :p

But I think it also shows us that these kinds of desires and feelings are okay and appropriate, in the proper time and place.

A solider in my platoon here is says song of solomon shouldn't be in the bible cause of the lustfulness of it... I erupted....

Yeah you all are right, it's good stuff, within the right time or place as someone already mentioned.

I find it intriguing due to my poetic background.. but thats good stuff.

Did he state that it should or shouldn't be in there? If he thinks it shouldn't then perhaps he should read the context of it. Yes, it is a pretty steamy book of the Bible but lust isn't even a factor because it's supposedly referring to the husband/wife relationship.

More than that, it showes how our relationship with God is. If ya can't read it with ears to hear (spirit hears spirit) then of course the flesh will see it as bad. But then again it also sees a lot of other good things as bad.

But in no way is that book evil due to the context. I happen to think it is one of the most passionet love letters God could write us, or a man could bring to a woman he loves. If you are not single I would even suggest reading it to each other. As long as you are mature enough that is.
