ventured to question Him

Rhetorical with a jump to reality: Do we ever question the inclusion of anything in the Word, or as remarked yesterday, do we not let the liar get away with doubt of any kind?

The jump. Song of Solomons -- what on earth?

I've heard it rationalized that the book is love poetry from God to His bride the church. I've heard it rationalized that the book is a model of marriage, reflecting perfection between husband and wife. I've heard it rationalized that the book was written by Solomon, wisest of the wise, thus its inclusion is important.

Seriously, the Council decided this was one of the most-used writings of the times by disciples in instructing others? That this book stands up to the test of time alongside James and Hebrews and Romans? And the Gospels? Seriously, this book? No answers, here. Just more wondering.
