Indeed, Dylan’s Christian songs contain more insight and truth than most anything you can hear on a modern Christian music station.

John 5:39 Search the scriptures; for in them ye think ye have eternal life: and they are they which testify of me. That is a facially bad argument. If every book testified of Christ, he wouldn't have had to advise the Pharisees to "search." Christ is the fulfillment of specific Old Testament prophecies, not the referent of every Old Testament passage and text. He is the culmination of the Old Testament's promises, but that does not make him the topic of the sexually charged language in the Song of Solomon. That's just crass - and for the men in the Church, just a little gay.

That scripture does not mention a quotation directly out of the Song of Solomon.

John 5:39 does not tell us what scriptures actually testify of Christ, it is up to us to discern. Scripture uses the relationship between a husband and a wife to teach us about the relationship between Christ and the church. (Eph 5:31-32). How can you determine that Christ is not in the Song of Solomon? Do you believe that Song of Solomon is scripture? How did Scripture peach to Abraham? (Gal 5:8)

That scripture does not mention a quotation directly out of the Song of Solomon. You are correct. That scripture also does not mention a quotation out of the book of Psalms yet many see references to Christ in that book. Who but Christ could be "the man" in Psalm 1:1-3?
