"Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love is as strong as death,
its jealousy unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.
Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one's house for love,
it would be utterly scorned."
a couple things to get from this here
This sums up everything in thois book so far....it doesn't matter if you look at this as love between a man and a woman or love betweenChrist and his church...
Love should be unyeilding....Love never gives up...(sounds like 1 Corinthians 13)
there are 3 types of love
1. Eros- this is the type of physical Love we see here in Song of Solomn (this is where we get our word 'erotic' from)
2. Philos- this is the kind of love we have for our friends and family
3. Agape- this is the kind of love we have for God
I had to google these so dont think i had them memprized or anyting lol
we see all 3 tyoes in this book and I'll explain this now
1. Eros. Eros love is pretty obvious...it's the Love between the man and the woman. This is a love so powerful that it should only be shared with one other person your entire life. This is the love that should not "be awakened before it so desires."
2. Philos- This is perhaps the hardest kind of love to see in this book. But this kind of love also exists between the man and the woman. The man and the woman in this book show a great deal of friendship. Just like with any marriage, it can't be all about sex. You have to find someone with the right personality....someone that you enjoy being with.
3. Agape- prety obvious like the first one. ths whole bookn is a great analogy of Christ and his church.
ok so
Love is as strong as death-...my love for my future spouse may be as strong as death and unending (I hope it will be ay least lol). my love for God might even even be too...
but what about my love for others...Pastor preached on loving your neighbor today. Our love for our neighbor should be unending and strong.
loves jelousy is unyeilding as the grave...but i thought love wasnt jelouse
The bible actualy says "Love does not envy" it doesnt say Love isnt jelous...but to be fair I'll take that one on
love isn't jelous of the one it loves...but love can get jelous of anything that stands between it an the one it loves
thats about it for tonight
g'night
