It's being read in mind. There's nothing wrong with it.

Have been reading the Bible randomly for some couples of months by approaching it scientifically (I calculated the required number of days to finish reading it, I read 4-5 chapters of the old testament and finished the new testament in 2-3 weeks) but when I got to the Songs of Solomon, the passion changed on sighting things like "Your boobs is like the eye of an apple" and so on.

Even Oyedepo once said that how can someone have 700 concubines and 300 wives and still expect his sanity to retain. After all that he now began to say "vanity upon vanity, all is vanity" probably in ecclesiastics.

That chapter is the romance section of the Bible because the Bible is a multifaceted story book.

SEX IS NOT A SIN, IT'S FORNICATION THAT IT'S A SIN.
It may interest us to know that God created a man and a woman to have sex, that's the only way they could procreate. Yahweh said to Adam,

Good News Translation Genesis 1:28 And God blessed them, and said, “Have many children, so that your descendants will live all over the earth and bring it under their control. I am putting you in charge of the fish, the birds, and all the wild animals.

How were they to have ma y children without mating?

God put sexual urges in us to enable us feel something for each other, get pulled together in other to mate.
Sex under the auspices of marriage is not a sin. NO.
Songs of Solomon, and especially the verse quoted above, makes us squeamish because we have known sex outside of marriage, and we know it's wrong, hence ; the squeamish.

Sex in marriage is not wrong. Solomon wrote what he wrote to his spouse, and there's nothing wrong with it.
Pls let's stop being religious and start being spiritual.
Jesus is called the Bridegroom, the Church is called the Bride. And our fellowship together is called a relationship/Intercourse.
Do you wonder why must times, the Bible uses the marriage between a man and a woman to explain the relationship between the church and Christ?
The church and Christ are in a relationship and we, the Christians are their offspring.

analice107, no doubt sex is not a bad thing among couples. But why would a supposed holy book be explaining how a man licked a woman during sex, describing her bosoms, explaining how a woman's private parts taste like wine, worst of all it deals with fornication!? angry undecided

I know you'll always showcase your nasty manners here despite trying be rational with you. Any ways, let's explore the Gospel of Porn:

Song of Songs 8:1-3 "If only you were to me like a brother, who was nursed at my mother's breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me. I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house-- she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, [size=20pt]the nectar of my pomegranates.[/size] His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me."[i]

Song of Solomon 8:10[i]"Dear brothers, I'm a walled-in virgin still, but my breasts are full— And when my lover sees me, he knows he'll soon be satisfied."


Some versions even used "my breasts are like towers" grin Even if this supposedly between married couples, why would they be advertising to the world? Why? Anyways, let's go on!

Song of Songs 4:10 "How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride! How much more pleasing is your love than wine, and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!"

Oh my God! This is inc'est!!! embarassed

NOTE: I didn't just baselessly c/p but I confirmed it from my old dusty bible(snapshot available) grin tongue. Please analice107 aka Anas09, shed light on this 'erotica'.

Demmzy15 you can never bring me to your level. You, like your prophet is a pervert. You see perversion in every thing. But, why am I surprises? You are a Muslim.

Song of Solomon 8:1-3 I wish that you were my brother, that my mother had nursed you at her breast. Then, if I met you in the street, I could kiss you and no one would mind. I would take you to my mother's house, where you could teach me love. I would give you spiced wine, my pomegranate wine to drink. Your left hand is under my head, and your right hand caresses me.

What is pornographic about this verse. Maybe am not getting it. Bring it out.

Song of Solomon 8:10 I am a wall, and my breasts are its towers. My lover knows that with him I find contentment and peace.

Like I said, these are Married couples expressing affections for each other. If you have a problem with that, I don't. I believe in love and sex inside marriage.


Song of Solomon 4:10 Your love delights me, my sweetheart and bride. Your love is better than wine; your perfume more fragrant than any spice.

Amplified Bible Song of Solomon 4:10 How beautiful is your love, my sister, my [promised] bride! How much better is your love than wine! And the fragrance of your ointments than all spices!

Read the following to understand the above.

Lev.18:6-18 None of you shall approach anyone close of kin to him to have sexual relations. I am the Lord.

The unclothedness of your father, which is the unclothedness of your mother, you shall not uncover; she is your mother; you shall not have intercourse with her.

The unclothedness of your father’s wife you shall not uncover; it is your father’s unclothedness.

You shall not have intercourse with or uncover the unclothedness of your sister, the daughter of your father or of your mother, whether born at home or born abroad.

You must not have sexual relations with your son’s daughter or your daughter’s daughter; their unclothedness you shall not uncover, for they are your own flesh.

You must not have intercourse with your father’s wife’s daughter; begotten by your father, she is your sister; you shall not uncover her unclothedness

You shall not have intercourse with your father’s sister; she is your father’s near kinswoman.

You shall not have sexual relations with your mother’s sister, for she is your mother’s near kinswoman.

You shall not have intercourse with your father’s brother’s wife; you shall not approach his wife; she is your aunt. You shall not uncover the unclothedness of your daughter-in-law; she is your son’s wife; you shall not have intercourse with her.

You shall not have intercourse with your brother’s wife; she belongs to your brother.

You shall not marry a woman and her daughter, nor shall you take her son’s daughter or her daughter’s daughter to have intercourse; they are [her] near kinswomen; it is wickedness and an outrageous offense.

You must not marry a woman in addition to her sister, to be a rival to her, having sexual relations with the second sister when the first one is alive.

Above are the rules guiding sex. You don't think that King Solomon A Jewish King, a public figure was committing incest with his sister and went on to write about it, do you? Am not surprised if you do. Muhammed slept with Fatima, why won't you think anyone else will do it?

If you think that the 'My sister in chapter 4:10 means blood relation, then, am truly not surprised, for that truly makes you a true Muslim.

You, for example are doing it with your sister, so will shout very loud to cover your low morality. Not everyone is like you.

We are decent people, unlike muslims.

Btw have you head about the New Fatwa in Iran, where fathers are now mandated to have sex with their own daughters as long as they are 9yrs old? Yea, that's right.

So, you go ahead and rejoice, it's no longer a sin in Islam to commit incest.
Islam is modified as you go. That will be part of Islam from now on.

No, the Holy Spirit supports marriage and sex without which, we can't procreate. He created man and woman and mandated them to have children, how else can they have children if sex was to be removed?
What the Holy Spirit is against is sex outside marriage. Am sorry, in Islam, there's no Pure sex.

At bolded.....

Did you know the meaning of concubine at all? At least if you don't then you should have check your dictionary instead of defending trash here. At least, there is nothing wrong in doing that.

So having sex with 700 concubines is now legal and no more a sin

Irrationality display as been rational with high degree of emotional display.
Just stop defending trash cus even King David is also guilty of such.

Stop living an ancient life in the 21st century.

Hahahahahahahaha. And you can proof Solomon wrote that to his Concubine how? Polygamy was legal to them, so if he had a Million wives that was his headache. God didn't have issues with him because of the number of wives he had but because, he went outside if marriage to misbehave and allowed the idolatry of his wives to influence him.
At least I have trash to defend, what do you have?
If that ancient trash gives you the heebies, why not get lost.
Gerarahia.

Jesus is God. Those who don't know that, do not have the Holy Spirit dwelling in them.

Are you sure you a Muslim? Islam says Muhammed is the Promised Holy Spirit, who our Lord Jesus said he will send, but you just stated that the Holy Spirit dwells in Christians, does that then mean Muhammed dwells in Christians?
Who is confused now?

All aforementioned believes in the Holy Spirit, Except you have comprehension issues.

But, didn't Islam say muhammed was the "So Called Holy Spirit?" so muhammed is now "So called?" Confused bunch.
