I hear the Dead Sea Scrolls version of Genesis has more material than what we have now, Abraham is an exorcist in it, thought that was interesting, the Scrolls are about 2000 years old, about a thousand years older than any other Scripture we possess.

I like multiple translations of the Bible, reading Psalms as King James Version was enjoyable recently, I'm always looking up in the dictionary defining many words, it's Real Poetic and touches me.

Song of Songs is deep and colorful, I almost always remember my Preacher I grew up hearing in Church, I was like 6 years old, ignorantly sleeping through most service's, but maybe when I was a little bit older I heard him profoundly described chapter 4 of Song of Solomon, it's where the Man is describing what he see's in the Women, the Man is God and we are the Women, we are beautiful to him and of great significance, that Preacher was the best because to be honest it's usually hard to remember what the Preacher says in a service, but this one I'm often remembering things he said 25 years later as I read the Bible or hear Religious talk.

Quote:

Song of Songs 4
New International Version
He
4 How beautiful you are, my darling!
    Oh, how beautiful!
    Your eyes behind your veil are doves.
Your hair is like a flock of goats
    descending from the hills of Gilead.
2 Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
    coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
    not one of them is alone.
3 Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
    your mouth is lovely.
Your temples behind your veil
    are like the halves of a pomegranate.
4 Your neck is like the tower of David,
    built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,
    all of them shields of warriors.
5 Your breasts are like two fawns,
    like twin fawns of a gazelle
    that browse among the lilies.
6 Until the day breaks
    and the shadows flee,
I will go to the mountain of myrrh
    and to the hill of incense.
7 You are altogether beautiful, my darling;
    there is no flaw in you.

8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,
    come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
    from the top of Senir, the summit of Hermon,
from the lions’ dens
    and the mountain haunts of leopards.
9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;
    you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
    with one jewel of your necklace.
10 How delightful is your love, my sister, my bride!
    How much more pleasing is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume
    more than any spice!
11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
    milk and honey are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments
    is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
12 You are a garden locked up, my sister, my bride;
    you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates
    with choice fruits,
    with henna and nard,
14    nard and saffron,
    calamus and cinnamon,
    with every kind of incense tree,
    with myrrh and aloes
    and all the finest spices.
15 You are a garden fountain,
    a well of flowing water
    streaming down from Lebanon.

She
16 Awake, north wind,
    and come, south wind!
Blow on my garden,
    that its fragrance may spread everywhere.
Let my beloved come into his garden
    and taste its choice fruits.




His early sermons when he started preaching in the early 80's can be found here. Sermons by Pastor Dick Ellis. he sounds like the way I remember him, thank God my parents took me to this Presbyterian Church where learned about God and Jesus and experienced Sunday School, Worship Music and Sermons at the time I would look back at the clock anticipating when the Sermon would end, such childish behaviour brings back memories, they were only 30 minutes long!

despite that 25 years of past, remembering such is quite thoughtful.
thoughtful in a spiritual sense and is in line with the teachings. Just how a fragile women gives up her freedom & maidenhood while she puts her trust over a mere man as WE, the same essence how a man should have a feminine heart as he gives up his unattached state to the LORD, God cares on how much of a  fragile state WE are.

quit interesting to hear that about Abraham being an exorcist, this commandment where also given to the apostle, almost most of them had a quite things in common, like in the other older teachings. living a life of a nomad & minimalist etc, thru Ascetism.

I'm also very much interested in those ancient writings. since during 4th century AD of constantine, the writings had undergone big revision, 43 books where remove or yet condensed and rearranged and were compiled in this present manner.

like: "Ask and you shall recieve, that your Joy may be full."

writings such as the nag hammadi library in Gospel Thomas(Aramaic) mentioned this that mirrors it in a new light.

"Ask without hidden motive and be surrounded by your answer. Be enveloped by what you desire that your gladness may be full."

mirrors the story of rain that i've mentioned in the other thread.
