Blainer) Song of Solomon --selected verses of this "inspired" book
(ahem!). This is not one song, but a series of songs--all more or less
erotic--which one was sung by the House of Israel on the Passover? And
why would they sing it on that holiday?
4:5 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed
among the lilies.
4:11 thy lips . . . drop as honeycomb.
5: 13 his lips like lillies, . . .
7:1 the jonts of thy thighs are like jewels, . . .
7:2 thy navel is like a round goblet, which wanteth not liquor, thy
belly is like a heap of wheat set about with lillies,
7:3 thy breasts are like two young roes that are twins,
7:7 and thy breasts to clusters of grapes
7:10 I am my beloved's, and his desire is toward me.
The question is, what inspired this book? (The natural man is an enemy
to God .. .. . . . . . . . . . . !)
