Hey, Matt
Since she refers to the Song of Solomon she probably means that portions
that are erotic have not been cut out in the so-called unexpurgated version
as they may have in some versions (though no versions I've ever heard of).
And some terms may be exchanged for others. For example, the Song of
Solomon mentions drinking out of the woman's belly button as from a cup, but
it is not really her belly button that Solomon is supposedly talking about.
Nuff said. Smile.
As a bachelor, I steer clear of the Song of Solomon even if it is supposed
to be a picture of spiritual love between JESUS and us. However, I think it
would be a wonderful Bible Study for married couples, especially for those
with intimacy problems, to practice what's said in the text as a sort of
show and tell. I do plan on using it as the first Bible Study with my wife
on our honeymoon some day. Smile.
Paul
