God is not ashamed of sex - Song of Solomon 1-2

Past Bible scholars have had a difficult time with the book of Song of Solomon, or, Song of Songs. They struggled with the intimacy mentioned in the book and the graphic details. Most want to "spiritualize" the book. Whereas they take the rest of the Bible literal this work of Solomon would be "x" rated material interpreted in that same manner. However, God has, in this little writing, in my humble opinion, given us a meaningful and discriptive prose on how to love, how to make love and how to interact in love. God is not ashamed of what He created in sexual relationships. Satan, the World and the Master Sin have all distorted sex into something creepy, dirty and hidden from the eye. But, God created Adam and Eve naked. Their relationships with each other, early in the Garden Days, were meant to be healthy and open and wonderful. In this book we see the love exchanged between Solomon and His Beloved. We see them embrace and kiss and, through healthy metaphors, have intercourse. God created sex and is not ashamed of it and ashamed to speak of it. Just as we have given God's creation of music over the sinful world, so too have believers given sex over to sinful man, to define and characterize it. But, God lays it open for us here. In the bounds of marriage and in the confines of love between two believers, the sexual experience is one of the most powerful and wonderful gifts of creation to man from God. We ought not to hide it or try to spiritualize this book away. We ought to study it and allow it to instruct us and inspire us.
