Dear Indy, Greetings from the Far East in the name of Jesus! My friend, I agee with you! That is precisely why I sometimes write like the Amplified Bible. :-) I did that this time and found that one of my 'amplifications' was totally unacceptable to some folks for reasons I could not fathom for some time! Theological significance!? Yeah, right! :-) I don't envy your arguments about 'chaste.' At least we have settled THAT one in our local church. But, we don't have many (any) theologians, either! Good luck! If I may say so, I have never had such 'discussions' in Japanese. Maybe English has too much (convoluted) history, and too much 'poetic license!' In my second language (first after 30 years?) of Japanese, this entire thread is summed up as, "American Christians sure have a lot of free time on their hands!" :-) I sometimes try to explain to my congregation the 'issues' portrayed on this forum, and all I get is a dumdfounded stare. From a former Hoosier. In Christ Jesus, charis |

Hi, charis; Too much time on our hands - our Korean and African brothers and sisters have told our denominational leaders as much. The absence of theologians is probably a good thing. Most of the modern variety seem to approach the Bible with an attitude of "what can I find in here to back up my position?". Oh, well. I'm a panmillenialist - it'll all pan out in the end (old joke, but true). Our church supports a missionary in the vicinity of Tokyo. She teaches music at a Christian school and pastors a small house church. Just so you'll know you're not the only former Hoosier in Japan. Peace and grace, Steve aka Indiana Jones |
