Who is going to reach the next generation faster on teaching this topic, social media, educational institutions or you QT readers in our church?
Every part of the woman's body is praised by her lover, as beautiful and a masterpiece (7:1), nourishing and life sustaining (7:2). Further praises were heaped upon the description of her breasts (7:3), neck, eyes and nose (7:4), head and hair (7:5). The sensual and the desirable were described in textual form for the readers.
Various cultures in the world today might unnecessarily mute or erroneously highlight the physical and the sensual. Yet chapter 7, which possibly contains the most erotic and sensual descriptions of physical beauty in Scripture, reminds readers that this topic is part of The LORD's idea as He created the world with humanity in it. This was not the movie houses' brainchild.
If you want to sing the best of songs, you must not shy away from this topic when teaching the next generation. The topic of sensuality should not be met with a "eeeee" exclamation signifying distastefulness or uncleanness but with a "Ooooo" as per 7:1, 7:6 and 7:13 or "Oh" in 7:8 signifying awe and appreciation for what The LORD had created in both man and woman.
Satan would probably not deny the existence of sex and sensuality, but would inevitably misuse and distort what The LORD had created beautifuly into something that misrepresent reality (Satan frequently did this in history). So do be careful.
Sex as God's gift, and sensuality that is enjoyed within God-given relationships (wife-husband) lead readers and participants in human nature to see the glory and wisdom of God. The end goal of Song of Songs is nothing less than glorifying God. We should not make it any less.

谁能更快地向下一代传授这个话题,是社交媒体、教育机构还是我们教会中的各位的同步灵修阅读者?
女人身体的每一部分都被她的爱人赞美为美丽和杰作(7:1),滋养和维持生命(7:2)。对她的乳房(7:3)、颈部、眼睛和鼻子(7:4)、头部和头发(7:5)的描述更是赞不绝口。感官和欲望以文字的形式被描述给读者。
当今世界的各种文化可能会不必要地弱化或错误地展示出肉体和感官的画面。然而,第 7 章可能是《圣经》中对肉体之美的最热烈和最感性的描述,它提醒读者,这个主题是耶和华创造世界和人类时的想法的一部分。这不是电影公司的创意。
如果你想唱出最好的歌曲,那么在教导下一代时就不能回避这个话题。对于感性的话题,不应该发出 “eeeee”的感叹,表示厌恶或不洁,而应该发出 “阿”的感叹 (类似 7:1、7:6,8、7:13)表示对耶和华所创造的男人和女人的敬畏和赞赏。
撒旦可能不会直接否认性和感官的存在,但撒旦常会滥用和歪曲耶和华所创造的美好事物,使之成为歪曲事实的东西(撒旦在历史上经常这样做)。所以一定要小心。
性是上帝所赐的,在上帝赐予的关系中(妻子与丈夫)享受的。感官的享受和参与人性的阅读者就因阅读《雅歌》看到上帝的荣耀和智慧。《雅歌》的最终目标就是荣耀上帝。我们不应该将其贬低。
