quote:
This understanding of God's eternal purpose is the key to intepreting the luxurious and sensous symbolism in the Song of Songs.
The neck, breasts, navel, hair, locks, cheeks, etc. are all sensous symbols depicting some aspect of this consummate Bride which the redeeming God is forming for Himself.
Oh hogwash. It is a human love story. Trying to twist it into some kind of eternal purpose turns it into a theological seminar. Contrary to the beliefs and wishes of the fundies, sex is not just for procreation.
