Song of Solomon is about a type of love that exists between men and women (eros/romantic love) which will not exist in eternity. So why did the spirit make it canon within the 66 books of the bible? Why is it scripture?
I know people say, well it represents Jesus and the Church.. but that's not eros love, male believers are not going to have eros/romantic love for Jesus for sure and probably not the female believers either.
What profit will it be for these words to never pass away, to just remind us of a relationship and type of love that we can no longer experience?
It seems out of place, I know it's not out of place but I don't know the reason when the type of love between Christ and His church is Agape, not Eros. It's not sexual or romantic or physical, where Song of Solomon is very much describing romantic/sexual/physical.
