Jesus said to her, 'I am the resurrection and the life. He who believes in Me, though he may die, he shall live. And whoever lives and believes in Me shall never die. Do you believe this?' John 11: 25-26

Why thank you.Madmoonie wrote:There is one candidate for the understatement of the century.SolidusRaccoon wrote:I am single and very docile, just have a meglania problem.
Yes, sir. I agree completely. It takes a well-balanced individual... such as yourself to rule the world. No, sir. No one knows that you were the third one... Solidus. ...What should I do about the woman? Yes sir. I'll keep her under surveillance. Yes. Thank you. Good-bye...... Mr. President.

Good evening.
Exactly. Where is the belly button of the church? Where is the torso of the church? The whole book is a celebration of the love between a husband and wife.Celidah the Bardess wrote:Ooooo boy, Song of Solomon.
Every time I run across the interpretation that it's a metaphor for the relationship between Christ and His church (hence the Messianic nickname "lily of the valley" that you'll encounter in some hymns), I look at it...
pause...
And go, "No. Freaking. Way."
Even if it was a metaphor, some people (and music groups, such as Petra and signer/evangelist Carman) have erroneously assigned the term "Rose of Sharon" to Yeshua.
Wrong.
Read the paragraph carefully, and you'll see that the line is said by THE HUSBAND, not the wife.
As for the Sanhedrin, married or widowed men were preferred...
...because they believed that those type of guys were more docile....
Honesty is the best policy, but insanity is a better defence.

Just like some who try to argue that the wine served at the wedding at Cana and at the Last Supper was actually non-alcoholic grape juice.Steltek wrote:I think a lot of people try to make the Song out to be some kind of metaphor because it is an extremely sensual -- indeed, one might even say erotic -- book, and unfortunately some Christians are not comfortable with that.

No reason that it can't be both.

Yeah, that's a good point -- there's a lot of metaphor in the OT. I only get annoyed when people discount a more literal view of that particular book, especially when they literally interpret all the other ones.RHJunior wrote:Steltek wrote:I think a lot of people try to make the Song out to be some kind of metaphor because it is an extremely sensual -- indeed, one might even say erotic -- book, and unfortunately some Christians are not comfortable with that.
