What do you think this Bible passage is talking about?
Song of Solomon 4:16
Come ... blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.

The Song of Solomon is a love poem or song between a husband and his wife (so, it is imbecilic of those who interpret it homosexually).
The wife is calling upon the winds to carry her perfume to her husband and thereby inviting him to her lovemaking. Her body is their garden of delights. Her sexuality, his "pleasant fruits."
The Bible is not the prudish book so many people think it is. Nor is this book or verse perverse in any way.

It's about a woman (female POV) wanting her King "Solomon"....and so she shall....ehem.
But only in the confines of a marraige because the Direct Words of Gods wouldn't Never be filled with Lust or Adultry or blah blah.......Word of Man - now that's some good smut.

♫ "First there is a mountain
Then there is no mountain
Then there is..." ♫
Oh, you said BLOW upon my garden. My obscure Donovan reference won't work here.
Sounds to me like some Bible-thumping homophobes have a little 'splainin' to do.

Sounds like an erotic novel. I don't know if the theme is homoerotic or just simply referring to sexual acts.

You cant come into some dudes err..private parts.
and your backside is too far from being a garden I must say.
It looks like its referring to something very passionate.
But some people feel extreme passion for God too. Just never sexual.
Who knows...someone should have asked the author.
