Frank - Nor mine. But then again, I was raised CoE, so there's little of the Mysteries left standing. Just a lot of 'thou shalt nots', of which 'thou shalt not read Song of Songs' was never one of them.
I'm glad that you liked my article. I know that weddings aren't exactly your thing (give or take your own!), so that makes it even lovelier that you stopped by.
Malachi has always rather startled me, simply because his name is so Welsh. Though I'm assuming now that every Welsh Malachi I've ever met had their name from the Bible.
Thank you for clarifying the scripture here.
Ember - I just stopped halfway through reading your comment, so that I could read the Song of Songs. Wow! Your version is much more risque than ours: https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/... Not really, I suppose, it's just that your version says it in ways that no average fifteen year old would miss.
I'd have been McKenna here. I do hate censorship. Corinthians is quite a classic here. Not just for weddings, but everything. It was read by Prime Minister Tony Blair at Princess Diana's funeral.
Wow Ember. I make a point of learning about religion and until now I had never heard of anyone giving the instruction to only read Song of Songs on one's wedding night. That sounds like prudery on a massive scale. That Kenna heard the same instruction elsewhere alerts me to the fact that this is not a one off act of a fanatical idiot, but is an established practice in some churches, not mine, I assure you.
However to the point. This was an excellent article that demonstrates religious knowledge broader than one's own religious allegiance. That's always a good thing.
One small issue. The Pharisees were raising a contentious issue with Jesus to ascertain his views. Judaism was split on divorce between the traditionalists, who thought that you needed good reason to divorce your wife, and the "liberals", who thought that a man could divorce her for any reason, however trivial. On asking Jesus' opinion they found that he was referring to the prophet Malachi, through whom God speaks to say " I hate divorce. " [Malachi:2:16] For Jesus, if God hates something, don't do it. Malachi was the last Old Testament prophet, and so the implication is that as the revelation developed God's will was becoming clearer: nothing cruel or loveless.
Ah, you've got one here with verses from Song of Solomon. When I was younger in church I was told I was absolutely not to read that until my wedding night, and only then I would read it WITH my husband. Then I was put in purity classes where I made promises to keep myself pure for my future husband. I listened, I had my reasons.
And this is my favorite thing, because Kenna was essentially told all the exact same things at her Church as a child around the same age, and her reaction was to immediately read it.
The Corinthians verses are really classic for Christian weddings, but you know, I think it is with good reason that it is a classic.
