Many
waters cannot quench it; neither can floods drown it (Solomon 8:6-7).
The Song of Solomon is one of my favorite books of
the Bible.
Solomon was tired of building a Temple, of his 700 wives and 300 concubines, meaning whores (I Kings 11:3), and was at the forefront of inventing the porn industry.
There is no mention of God, the Law, Israel, the
Promised Land or Wisdom in this Biblical Book.
It’s pure sex … rough and ready!
The plot’s right out of a 1970s porn movie.
Boy lusts girl.
Girl lusts boy.
Then Marvin Gaye takes the lead from Angels singing,
“Let’s
get it on.”
The entire universe is suddenly composed of skin and
breath and hair.
You don’t hear many sermons about such things in
Church.
I do love reading the interpretations in big ol’
Biblical commentaries and on Google.
“Now kids … this isn’t about sex … it’s really about
how much God loves Church! You know how exciting Church is! You should get it
off in Church … not those other ways.”
I think Solomon disagrees.
I think GOD disagrees!It’s crazy how most, especially religious people, disagree with God when it comes to sex.
Sex is good and we should work at it more to make it
better.
Married couples … gay couple sex ( should be allowed
to be married by the law of the land) … divorced people sex … exploratory
teenage sex (among teenagers) … individual sex for those who can’t find another
to share themselves … random elevator sex and the occasional sex in a Baptismal
Pool … it’s all good!
And each and every one of us has done some …or … all
of these.
It’s funny that we lie and claim we don’t.
That’s bearing false witness … meaning we break one
of the 10 Commandments.
Enjoying sex does not mean breaking one of them!
Okay, I’m sweating a little … that’s bearing false
witness because I’m sweating a lot … and wondering where Sarah is … THANK GOD!
… she just turned on the shower.
Time to go bare some witness!!
Hallelujah!!
