Sex In Marriage What God Says About the Family Indian Hills Community...
“ Take the Song of Solomon Literally! ” Observation on the use of the Song of Solomon ¶ While the sermon itself gives the proper venue of where the God-given sexual desires of men and women are to be fulfilled, I will let the people who do the formal summaries expound on that for this sermon. ¶ I wish to point out that segment of the sermon in which the book of Song of Solomon is expositionally treated as it should be -- literally. The malingering plague of Romish allegory is seen to be wrong here. Man's misguided, prudish desire to hide God's sexual design for a man and woman in a marriage relationship. Starting at 21:25 minutes into the sermon, Dr. Rugh points out the eight chapters of the Song of Solomon is devoted to physical love and the emotions that go with it.

The Song of Solomon is not some spiritual allegory. Sex is beautiful in the marriage relationship. ¶ There is to be a strong physical desire for the woman for the man. The man is to have that for the woman. They are to be totally enthralled with each other and completely loyal to each other through their entire lives. Physical love is an integral part of marriage.
