Song of Solomon

[Timothy]

Do you interpret Song of Solomon as literal or figurative?

I interpret it as a real historic story with a deeper spiritual meaning - Jehovah's love for Israel.

Watch out! Timothy will be rolling his eyes at you next.

:

Timothy...do you interpret the story of the sacrifice of Issac as literal or figurative?

Literal.

Timothy...do you interpret the story of the sacrifice of Issac as literal or figurative?

Literal.

Nothing figurative in the binding of Isaac?

Heh heh heh it says breasts

Yes.

Exactly. Many believe that the woman about whom Solomon was typecasting was Abishag.

Yes.

Exactly. Many believe that the woman about whom Solomon was typecasting was Abishag.

Many Jewish writers considered the text to be allegorical to the coming Messiah. To which, Christ claimed to be greater than Solomon. (Luke 11). To confine the interpretation of Song of Solomon solely as a typecasting of Abishag is to do a great injustice to Song of Solomon's place in the canon. SS wasn't included in the canon because Solomon wished to immortalize Abishag.

.... as a poetic love story between Solomon and his woman.

Yes.. there is sexual stuff in that book. Probably because the wine was fermented.

Hah! That ol' fermentation is so naugh-tay.

Isn't it ironic that the author penned this proverb?

For the churning of milk bringeth forth butter, And the wringing of the nose bringeth forth blood;
