"Do n...I like the scripture you pointed out... "Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires." (NIV)<br /><br />I also like 2 other translations of the same scripture:<br />1) NLT<br />"[Do not] awaken love until the time is right."<br /><br />2) CEV<br />"[Do not] awaken love before it is ready."<br /><br />I'm not sure what my opinion is of the author's gender; I think the words of the beloved and lover exhibit equally dizzying besottedness. But if it is a love letter from God to His people (and Jesus to His church), then I would rather believe that it was written by Solomon or someone lead by the Spirit (and of course ALL scriptures were inspired by the Spirit, 2 Pet 1:21)... and I am not convinced that there was a woman during Solomon's time who was lead by the Spirit to write the Songs... but I could be wrong :)Tera Chauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14890094744627000607noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2671294921242834215.post-39006635962462473382009-06-01T13:11:42.842-07:002009-06-01T13:11:42.842-07:00Justin,
I havent read all, or most of Song of Son...Justin,<br /><br />I havent read all, or most of Song of Songs, but I am familiar with that scripture you posted about "not arousing or awakening love until it so desires." It is actually one of my all time favorite scriptures. I dont know if it was written by a woman, but from what I have read, I feel like it was definitely written specifically for women. I was actually told once that Song of Songs wasn't something brothers usually read until after they got married (something like that), because it could make them struggle. Although don't get me wrong, I'm sure everyone can get something from it. What are some bros thoughts on that?? Maybe someone who is more familiar with Song of Songs can also share their thoughts pertaining to your question..<br /><br />Thanks for sharing and reminding me of that scripture. =)Lisa Nguyenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08215165274725995740noreply@blogger.com
