Song of Solomon is a love song between a man and a woman., It is an example of how much God loves us. It does have a lot of heavy petting but that is ok between a man and a wife.

It's called HUMAN NATUIRE...Men are tempted and lustful so what's wrong with the Song of Songs? Effectively than you're saying that to LOVE is to be tempeted and lustful and therefore by inference LOVE also becomes a sin (lol!!) I sincerely hope this isn't what your logic is telling you because it's way, way off base. The Song of Song's is about LOVE which isn't a sin (though some of its components may/might be according to some folks out there in la la land). PEACE!

the relationship is between the bridegroom and the bride --- that's fine..... if we can't adore and love and cherish our own bride and she does the same for you--- then we all are in trouble. (It also is a picture of the relationship between Christ and the church body or members.)
If you have a problem with lust or temptation the bible says to cast down those things - and renew your mind --- there are other books in the bible to read and meditate upon --- if you don't have a wife yet maybe it's time for you to start seeking out a suitable girl...

Song of Songs (also known as Canticles or Song of Solomon) is in the Bible because marriage is a part of life; it's about more that just sex.
The so-called "lost books" may have some good teaching in them, just as Aesop's Fables can teach moral lessons, but they don't belong in the Bible because they are not God's Word.

I wish more people would read the "Song of songs" than the Gospel of John. The more I look at the new testament, except for the life of Christ, who was a good and personable man, the less I like it.

I agree with you, The Song of Songs does not fit in the Bible. Some translations of the Bible have even had it removed due to its pornographic descriptions. It just managed to slip in with Psalms and Proverbs because they were all hymns that the Jewish people sang.

Love is not lust. It is not dirty or shameful.
Love is the joining together of consenting souls enjoying the pure energy source who created us as we are, beings designed to enjoy and delight in our God-given sexuality.
A song of Soloman serves to express and appreciate the beauty of the gifts of love and sexuality (it's not a dirty word!), as should we!

in Revelations when it talks about not adding anything to that book, it is talking about the book of revelations not the whole bible.
there is no reason to think it would be talking about the whole bible since the writer didn't consider it a part of the bible since the bible wasn't put togaether until a good 200 years after the writer died

It ws the Catholic Church who decided on the canon of Scripture in 393 because of the authority Jesus gave to the apostles and their successors. The Catholic Church determined what is inspired and what is not. Every non-Catholic who holds the belief that the Bible is the inspired word of God, depends on the authority of the Catholic Church who made the determination. They have no other infallible authority.
Christ told the apostles that anything they bind on earth will be bound in heaven and the apostles passed on their authority to their successors, the bishops of the Catholic Church.

I read passages that I feel will help me in my walk with and in Christ. It's good to read and study the bible but some times many people become too obsessed with wanting to know everything and WHY and never work on what needs to be worked on in themselves.
