How old should kids be before they study the Song of Solomon in Bible Study?

There are so many other things my kids should study first. If it were introduced to them at an early age, it would be to show God's love for Israel.





Personally, I have to stay away from it unless a pastor is doing a teaching. When I read the One Year Bible, I have to skip it. I'm trying to stay pure until marriage and it causes me to have impure thoughts and to possibly stumble. It also can cause extreme discontent in my marital status.





Otherwise, when they're engaged to be married, or maybe right away after they're married. They'd have to pray about it and take God's leading.

Reply:What is the point of studying it.
Reply:The Song of Solomon should be studied either when a kid is mature enough to comprehend the signficance of overcoming the false prophet and the nature of God's elect ... or the age of accountability -- whichever arrives first.
Reply:"Know they not Allah Knoweth what they conceal and what they reveal? And there are among them illiterates, who know not the Book (i.e., the Bible), but (see therein their own) desires, and they do nothing but conjecture. Then woe to those who write the Book with their own hands, and then say: 'This is from Allah,' To traffic with it for a miserable price! Woe to them for what their hands do write, and for the gain they make thereby. (The Noble Quran, 2:77-78)"
Reply:It portrays sex as something beautiful between a married man and a woman. Probably best they learn it young, so they don't end up engaging in cheap sexual acts later on.
Reply:I'd probably let my teenager read that before I'd let him in on the idea that God tells his people that killing is against his will then turns around and tells them to kill everything, including livestock... except the virgins! Gotta have those virgins.... save em up for those Muslim Martyrs.
Reply:Old enough to be able to read and understand.
Reply:I studied it at age 16 and it got my motor running!
Reply:Old enough to understand without giggling that it is a metaphor for the relationship between G-d and the Jews. I would say - depending on the maturity of the kid - not before 11th grade, maybe 12th. Otherwise it just becomes a joke of a very holy thing.
Reply:It depends on your interpretation of it. Do you look at it as a sexual rendition, or as the story of love between G-d and Israel? I'd need to know that first.
Reply:12
Reply:I would say 16-this is when they start dating and it's important for them to know what God expects out of us when we start relationships


I took the class and it is definitely for adults


That is when I would introduce it to my kids
Reply:I need to share with you my own personal experience. I went to a protestent church, and when I heard that others who were not of this faith were going to hell, and that I think it was Lot was going to kill his son because God told him to, I was so traumatized. I would look at the catholics, the Jewish girl in my class, and I KNEW we were the same. I didn't buy into whites stick together, and etc. My hero was my fourth grade teacher who told us that "If you think you're right, never let anyone make you believe you're wrong". God bless her. I've dedicated a poem to her. Jesus taught us to be good to one another. I'm a humanist. I believe in God. But I don't buy into what men interpret the Bible to mean. I use the brain God gave me. I have no problem with anyone, unless they hurt someone else. I put human rights first. I care about what I do now, and I don't worry about heaven or hell. I try to contribute to humankind, and make a difference for the better while I'm here on earth, I sew my seeds, and I hope others will repeat what I've left with them. This is the only way I could cope with the death of my Dad. He was a great Dad, and if he doesn't get to heaven, in my opinion, no one will. He didn't go to church, because he was babtist, and my Mom would not go to his faith. So instead of the family going together, they did not agree on the scriptures. I think the proof is in how we treat other people. I've seen so many people who go to church, throw stones at others, it makes me sick, so I want no part of it. I take the morals and guidance I got from it, and leave the rest. Can you imagine the fear this instills in a child. "Now I lay me down to sleep, if I should die before I wake, I pray the Lord my soul to take" Is this healthy for a child? I don't think so. Just my own experience, and opinion. Concionce implies emphaty, and I've experience so much hurt and past wrongs brought up to me that happened over 20 yrs ago. Sometimes it's like a person has a pipeline to God, and if it's the truth, it doesn't matter who they hurt. Some people see things in black and white only, no grey area, no emphaty, until you walk in my shoes, don't judge, and he who is without sin, can cast the first stone. I would just like to see a little more emphaty in people. Do parents even think of how their children feel, and are they aware of their fears? I think the fact you asked this question, is an indicator, that you have some nagging doubt. Everyone has a right to believe what they believe. I just don't think they have a right to hurt others. I was not raised to speak up, and religion instilled "Don't question". I did not raise my kids this way. And I made a lot of my own mistakes as a parent also. God help us all. I also take a big issue with how religion makes women second class citizens to men, my Dad never treated me this way. I loved him so much, because of how he treated others. He was kind, nurturing, gentle, humble. He saw the best in me, not the worst.

Reply:The Song of Solomon is a love sonnet. And not the pornographic


thing some make it out to be.


It was left in the Book for a very important reason. Because


our Creator knew what the state of the Black peoples would be


in our world today.


It says that the Queen of Sheba went to see King Solomon.


Many say they don't who she was. But the "Kebra Negast",


a book from Ethiopia, tells us she was a Nubian Queen.


Sheba had been a vast African nation.


In the Song of Solomon, the woman clearly says, "I AM BLACK!"


KJV. Racists have removed this from newer Bibles. I am


convinced this love sonnet was between Solomon and the


Queen of Sheba.


Jesus also said in Matthew 12:42. That the Queen of the South, (Sheba), will rise up in The Judgement, and will be a judge over the wicked!


For The Red peoples. The Great Spirit loves you too. And


the Red race was once the mightiest nation the Earth has


ever known, on Atlantis. The Chittim in the Book are the


descendants of the Atlanteans. The giant crystal they used


for flying machines is in the Bermuda Triangle today, and is


even mentioned in the Book. It is said they used the crystal


in war, and it backfired, and destroyed the major part of


that society. Ezekiel 1:22 mentions, "The terrible crystal!"


KJV.
Reply:When they are old enough to decide which religion if any that they should follow.
Reply:21 years of age. No kid should be subjected to the Bible before they are old enough to drink.
Reply:Jewish tradition says age 30. The book is about God's intimate love for Israel. It is a love story, but most people misinterpret it as being lusty. This is why the Jews waited until a man was thirty to teach the book to him.
Reply:old enough to understand what they are reading





and this is a beautiful book, just remember a complement then is way different than now
