Why is the Song of Soloman considered pornographic by many Christians?

1 Answer

Answer :

answer:S of S 7:6–9 “How beautiful you are and how pleasing, O love, with your delights! Your stature is like that of the palm, and your breasts like clusters of fruit. I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree; I will take hold of its fruit.’ May your breasts be like the clusters of the vine, the fragrance of your breath like apples, and your mouth like the best ****.” 4:5 ” Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle, that feed among the lilies.” Somewhere in the intervening centuries, we decided that breasts are a sexual organ and not to be mentioned in polite company.
