Women's breasts are important sexual objects:

The Bible in numerous places teaches us about women's breasts and talks about them at the same time it is talking about sexual fantasies and intercourse.

Comparing the sister's breasts to the size of the towers: Let us look at the following verses: "We have a young sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister for the day she is spoken for? (Song of Songs 8:8)" and later about the sister....."I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. Thus I have become in his eyes like one bringing contentment. (Song of Songs 8:10)"

Let us look at Song of Songs 4:5 "Your two breasts are like two fawns, like twin fawns of a gazelle that browse among the lilies."

Let us look at Song of Songs 1:13 "My lover is to me a sachet of myrrh resting between my breasts."

Praising the bed that they had sex on: Let us look at Song of Songs 1:16 "How handsome you are, my lover! Oh, how charming! And our bed is verdant"

Let us look at Song of Songs 1:2-4 "Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- for your love is more delightful than wine. Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes; your name is like perfume poured out. No wonder the maidens love you! Take me away with you--let us hurry! Let the king bring me into his chambers. We rejoice and delight in you; we will praise your love (i.e., semen) more than wine. How right they are to adore you!" I don't think this would be appropriate for a kid under 18 to read. Also, I don't think it is appropriate to have such open sexuality in a divine book anyway.

His right arm sexually feeling her body: Let us look at Song of Songs 2:6 "His left arm is under my head, and his right arm embraces me."

Let us look at Song of Songs 3:4 "Scarcely had I passed them when I found the one my heart loves. I held him and would not let him go till I had brought him to my mother's house, to the room of the one who conceived me." So in other words, she was not married to him, and when she found him, she took him back to her bed room to have illegal sex with him? If she were married to him, she wouldn't take him to her "mother's house". She would take him to their house.

Let us look at Song of Songs 3:10 "Its posts he made of silver, its base of gold. Its seat was upholstered with purple, its interior lovingly inlaid by the daughters of Jerusalem." Why does the Bible teach young men to spend all of their time and effort to try to impress all of the girls in their town so they can possibly end in bed with them?
The entire Bible is corrupted anyway according to its Theologians!

We must know that the Bible can not be trusted. Let us look at what the Theologians and Historians of the NIV Bible wrote about the Book of Song of Songs:

* Please be advised that the Bibliography of the NIV Bible that I used is listed at the end of this article. I used the latest version of the NIV Bible.

About the book of Song of Songs: "Verse 1 appears to ascribe authorship to Solomon. Solomon is referred to seven times, and several verses speak of the 'king', but whether he was the author remains an open question. (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 997)"

As we clearly see, no one knows who wrote the porn-full book of Song of Songs. How can you claim that the books were indeed all revealed by GOD Almighty? If you're not sure, and you still insist on your claim, then you are committing a crime against GOD Almighty's Revelations.

(www.answering-christianity.com/authors_gospels.htm)

The NIV Bible Theologians and Historians also commented on other books of the Bible to be corrupted by the scribes:

"...portions of the book were probably added by scribes or editors from later periods of Israel's history... (From the NIV Bible Commentary, page 183)"

The Jewish scribes had very badly corrupted the Bible and turned it into a big lie. That is why GOD Almighty said:

"`How can you say, "We [the Jews] are wise, for we have the law of the LORD," when actually the lying pen of the scribes has handled it falsely?' (From the NIV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

"How can you say, 'We are wise, and the law of the LORD is with us'? But, behold, the false pen of the scribes has made it into a lie. (From the RSV Bible, Jeremiah 8:8)"

In either translation above, we clearly see that the Bible has too many narrated stories and man-made cultural laws that were inserted into it that were not Divine Revelations from GOD Almighty.
It's quite obvious that the Bible is more like a man made cultural book than a divine book that is meant to be for all times and all places. Anyway, the Bible was not even written by its original authors. That is why you see things such as "And Moses went up to the mountain...." instead of "And I [Moses] went up to the mountain....", or "And Jesus said to Matthew...." instead of "And Jesus said to me [Matthew]...." Most of the Books and Gospels of the Bible were written by third party people that were not even chosen by GOD, which makes the Bible just a cultural history book rather than a divine book from GOD Almighty

If a man walking along a river bank, sees a man drowning, should he drown saving him or watch him drown. IF it was a woman or child would the obligation be stronger? Why? ( to both questions ).

We christians believe the bible and we put our trust in God. We believe God made everything, and we believe He is comming back very soon. We have the bible to back us up, although you dont believe the bible. Now look at what you believe and tell me who's belief is the bibbest joke. You believe you came from a cosmic burb BILLIONS of years ago. You believe your great great great great great great great great grand parents were apes or monkeys, you believe they came from slime that washed up on the beach, you believe the slime evolved from a rock (like to know what the DNA of a rock is), and you believe that when you die you get recycled into a worm or a plant.

It doent take allot of brain power to figure out who's religion is the biggest joke.

I don't know, seems like too many people in here play God, thinking they know what God would say or think.....isn't that being arrogant and vain? Assuming you know what God thinks and does?

Shouldnt' you leave the answer as 'thats between you and God' instead of saying stuff like 'you need to believe how I do or you go to hell'....that's playing God isn't it?

Since I see that all the time in here from self-proclaimed 'devout Christians'.....am I pointing out a very obvious flaw?

I didn't write the Bible, I didn't make any of this up - I didn't cause any bears to rip some young boys to pieces - the God of the Bible did - I just want to know how such actions can be sanely jusified, that's all. And, if the truth be expressed, I'd like some of you people to stop and think about what you're condoning and understand why some of us have a problem with it.
okay, now I'm ready for the next wave of personal attacks.

This question is for all you anti-gay marriage or anti-gay rights people. Think hard about this one. You might just realize something about yourself.

If you had an unnatural experience where you sensed something paranormal or the existence of a soul departed, would that help you think that God existed in a more knowledgeable sense? What is it to exactly know anything here on earth in our human state? I always thought senses were what we used. So if someone you have met has experienced, has sensed afterlife and they tell you that they have, do they know it or would you call them a liar?

Someone posted on another question regarding the differing versions of the Bible: " I have a King James, a NIV, a Amplified, and a Giddeon. I read all three. They all say the exact same thing."

Im curious - what it the need for owning (or, for that matter, writing, reading or even publishing) four different Bibles - if they all "say the exact same thing?"

I suspect this person is terribly mislead, or should be forgiven for misleading others, as she has already deluded herself greatly... (name withheld so that I am NOT insulting any participants...so please dont flag me just because my question upsets you...)

What do you think?? And, exactly how many versions of the Bible are out there?? And which one is the "truth" - because they cant ALL be.....

Here is what we believe about god these words are from the quran:
say:"He is Allah the one".
"The self sufficient master whom all creatures need."
"he begets not, nor was he begotten"
"and there is none co-equal or comparable unto him"
Quran 112:1-4

is that really hard to understand?.This is the basis of our belief and unless you understand this you cant really understand Islam.
Remember islam is perfect but not all muslims practice it properly.
Why do people keep trying to find faults with islam when its such
a beautiful, faultless religion?.

I compose music but often struggle with lyrics. What do you poets and lyricists do for inspiration to write? Do you first decide on a theme or title and build around it?

All serious suggestions are appreciated. Thank you.

(Frankly: I respect people who wear it by choice. BUT I really would not want to wear one. I wear my veil when I go out of my house and infront of strangers and that is enough for me. I think that is descent enough for me. I think if the religion does not require it why make more trouble for yourself. I am a business woman, an engineer and in my experience a Burka would not cut it in the real world. I THINK ISLAM is easy and people make it difficult) What is your opinion?

Hey, wait a minute, who are you to assume I wouldn't have stood up for Jesus, helped him carry the cross and died with him? How do you know I would've just sat back and been afraid? How do you know I would've bit the first apple Adam and Eve took?

Maybe I would've done whats right and stood up for Jesus, maybe I would've been less of a chicken s.hit than his apostles and helped him? Why am I being punished and assumed I'm a bad person that is guilty of sin and evil?

I'm not perfect, but truly do care about other people and try to make the right decision. I don't hold much ill contempt for others and try to understand their angle of perception before condemning them because they think differently than myself.

I mean, how can I be blamed for questioning God and Jesus if I wasnt' even alive to see him or meet him. Why should I be convinced a man-translated book has all the answers? Wouldn't Jesus and God want me to be suspicious of works not done by them for certain?

Marriage is nothing more, nothing less than a legal entity created through the purchase of a license. It has nothing to do with religion. All the church does is sanctify the union and no one is telling a church they have to do that for a gay couple if they don't want to. It's a legal issue, not a religious one.

Please don't be offended, but I don't understand this. I though it was believed that god is god and Christ is a holy spirit.

I am a Atheist, but recently have begun to question this...and I am looking deeper into different religions.

OT-mean, vengeful, Egyptian child killing machine
NT- loving, caring???

Is this evidence of different writers of the Bible interjecting their own personal views of God? Wouldn't this nullify it as being an actual testament of 'the man'.

(My take: I never really "dated" or "dated" my husband for that sense. I always thought it is best to marry if you think the person is right and that is that. Elhamdulillah it worked for me. I have seen other people who have had arranged marriages and it worked out very well for them. So I wonder if that is the case for most arranged "religious" marriages... Please educate me I am drawing my opinion based on experience)

With love,
Muslimah!
