Why, then, is the Song of Songs included in LDS scriptures?
I can imagine Joseph, Emma and the other wives reading it responsively...
1:5 I am black, but comely, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon.
1:6 Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mothers children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
The question not only is why the LDS keep in their bible, but also why he doesn't think it is inspired. He didn't seem to have any problem with the content in daily use.
