Song of Songs was written by the wisest man on Earth, who fell from grace & truth despite being blessed with immense riches, wisdom & power from God because he didnt obey one single law from the Almighty GOd.

They were from nations about which the LORD had told the Israelites, “You must not intermarry with them, because they will surely turn your hearts after their gods.” Nevertheless, Solomon held fast to them in love. 1Kings11.2

It’s a good reminder to our Ladiocean Age. Can we say we believe in Jesus but dont obey His Word?

No one can serve two masters. Either he will hate the one and love the other, or he will be devoted to the one and despise the other. You cannot serve both God and Money.Mat6.24 NIV

Andrew, can you choose to serve GOd & Money,
or GOd & man,
or God & democracy?

I believe because it was included in the bible, that’s why you automatically brought it in parallel with God and His people.

If it wasn’t canonized, would you have recognised and acknowledged this as a spiritual or a God-inspired book?

Cos apart from God not being mentioned in it, it is written by a filthy rich and an adulterous person who had 900 wives without including his concubines. And the only prevailing theme (in a glance) seems to be about lust and sex.

But I believe this book was canonised because it was studied through the lens of grace and truth (where the Holy Spirit relishes in and is able to move freely), and not through lens of the law.

Isn’t Song of Songs a love song between God and His people, the Israelites or between Christ and the Christian church?
It is not wise to compare a book written by ideas of man(dust) with the scripture,given by the inspiration of Almighty GOD(Creator).

Songs2.1 I am a rose of Sharon, a lily of the valleys.
2 Like a lily among thorns is my darling among the maidens.

–
It is a son, an Epithalamium, or nuptial song, wherein, by the expressions of love between a bridegroom and his bride, are set forth and illustrated the mutual affections that pass between God and a distinguished remnant of mankind. It is a pastoral; the bride and bridegroom, for the more lively representation of humility and innocence, are brought in as a shepherd and his shepherdess.

Now, This song might easily be taken in a spiritual sense by the Jewish church, for whose use it was first composed, and was so taken, as appears by the Chaldee-Paraphrase and the most ancient Jewish expositors. God betrothed the people of Israel to himself; he entered into covenant with them, and it was a marriage-covenant. He had given abundant proofs of his love to them, and required of them that they should love him with all their heart and soul. Idolatry was often spoken of as spiritual adultery, and doting upon idols, to prevent which this song was penned, representing the complacency which God took in Israel and which Israel ought to take in God, and encouraging them to continue faithful to him, though he might seem sometimes to withdraw and hide himself from them, and to wait for the further manifestation of himself in the promised Messiah.

But more frequently is Christ represented as the bridegroom of his church (Mt. 25:1; Rom. 7:4; 2 Co. 11:2; Eph. 5:32), and the church as the bride, the Lamb’s wife, Rev. 19:7; 21:2, 9.
