150 Titles of Christ from the Scriptures

150 titles, wow.
I've never burdened myself with worrying about 150 titles as it's not a requirement nor does it place me closer to anything to know 'titles'. What I do burden myself with his teachings which are his(our) Father's teachings, of which do place me closer to something.
The only title I do worry about isn't a title but our Father's Name: the Father of you, me, Jesus, and all mankind. Yes, He has a Name and not just a 'title'.
With all those titles Jesus had one job, a job he did perfectly and as my teacher of our Father's Word that's all I care about.

Introduction:

THE SONG OF SONGS

The Song of Songs (or Canticle of Canticles) is an exquisite collection of love lyrics, arranged to tell a dramatic tale of mutual desire and courtship. It presents an inspired portrayal of ideal human love, a resounding affirmation of the goodness of human sexuality that is applicable to the sacredness and the depth of married union.

Although the poem is attributed to Solomon in the traditional title (1:1), the language and style of the work, among other considerations, suggest a time after the end of the Babylonian exile (538 B.C.) when an unknown poet collected extant love poems, perhaps composing new material, and arranged the whole into the masterpiece we have before us. Some scholars argue the possibility of female authorship for at least portions of the Song.

The structure of the Song is difficult to analyze; this translation regards it as a lyric dialogue, with dramatic movement and interest. In both form and content, sections of the Song bear great similarity to the secular love songs of ancient Egypt and the “Sacred Marriage” cult songs of Mesopotamia which celebrate the union between divine partners.

While the lovers in the Song are clearly human figures, both Jewish and Christian traditions across the centuries have adopted “allegorical” interpretations. The Song is seen as a beautiful picture of the ideal Israel, the chosen people whom the Lord leads by degrees to a greater understanding and closer union in the bond of perfect love. Such readings of the Song build on Israel’s covenant tradition. Isaiah (Is 5:1–7; 54:4–8; 62:5), Jeremiah (Jer 2:2, 3, 32), and Ezekiel (Ez 16; 23) all characterize the covenant between the Lord and Israel as a marriage. Hosea the prophet sees the idolatry of Israel in the adultery of Gomer (Hos 1–3). He also represents the Lord speaking to Israel’s heart (Hos 2:16) and changing her into a new spiritual people, purified by the Babylonian captivity and betrothed anew to her divine Lover “in justice and uprightness, in love and mercy” (Hos 2:21). Similar imagery has also been used frequently in Jewish mystical texts. The Song offers a welcome corrective to negative applications of the theological metaphor of the marriage/covenant in some prophetic texts. It frequently proclaims a joyous reciprocity between the lovers and highlights the active role of the female partner, now a pure figure to be cherished rather than an adulterous woman to be punished and abused. See also Is 62:3–5.

Christian tradition has followed Israel’s example in using marriage as an image for the relationship with God. This image is found extensively in the New Testament (Mt 9:15; 25:1–13; Jn 3:29; 2 Cor 11:2; Eph 5:23–32; Rev 19:7–9; 21:9–11). Thus the Song has been read as a sublime portrayal and praise of this mutual love of the Lord and his people. Christian writers have interpreted the Song in terms of the union between Christ and the Church and of the union between Christ and the individual soul, particularly in the writings of Origen and St. Bernard.

That’s fine, I have no investment in Song of SongsSolomon per se, but I found just thinking about the names of the Lord to be uplifting, thank you so much.

I know there are some like Keystone or Capstone in various translations for the name of Christ — different than Cornerstone. Keystone is the stone that is put in at the top of an archway, without it, the whole structure falls.

So I see this fella on another thread make a joke about killing someone and taking their gold. So I wonder, gee wiz, don't remember this guy. What's he been posting?

150 titles, wow.... What I do burden myself with his teachings which are his(our) Father's teachings, of which do place me closer to something. The only title I do worry about isn't a title but our Father's Name: the Father of you, me, Jesus, and all mankind. Yes, He has a Name and not just a 'title'. With all those titles Jesus had one job, a job he did perfectly and as my teacher of our Father's Word that's all I care about.

Fascinating, this brent13a guy, the one below, has been chastising a scripture thread for being not holy enough? Really?

I'm sorry, which of our Father's teachings recommend we stock up on ammo to kill our neighbors and take their gold?

So people were banned from FR for saying something positive about Romney, but "I'ma gonna murder and steal, haha!" is not only ok, but he even gets to sermonize about piety? Brent, either write me some nasty freepmail, or maybe, just maybe, think about what you're saying in church Sunday. If you're not a churchgoer, you can pray about it anytime now if you choose.

I prefer to invest in lead, as in ammo. Then I can take your gold if I need it.

I have enjoyed the Names of God thread. I’m not Catholic. I spend time every day honoring some of His names.

[Hegewisch Dupa]

I found it especially amusing that he wasn’t bright enough to realize that, on a thread enjoying the multitude of ways finite creatures praise their Infinite Lord, that he in turn felt the need to describe his own way to do so. It was the whole point, but I’m going out on a limb and guessing it isn’t the first time subtlety evaded him.
