1 | "throwing stones" or "making love"? | Eccl 3:5 | stjohn | 196207 | ||
Hi JRM Well, this verse pretty much speaks for itself don't you think? Why Change it? Don't know much about Eugene Peterson, except that he endorsees "new age" Christian books, just my opinion but, his paraphrase seems kinda silly. I wouldn't put much in someone who treats Scripture like that. How on earth, can you get making love, from gathering stones? Please, gimme a break! Foot equals genitals! Huh? God bless John |

2 | "throwing stones" or "making love"? | Eccl 3:5 | Just Read Mark | 196208 | ||
a slight correction: "covering his feet" means dropping his paints to relieve himself (not uncovering, as I had said). If you look at 1 Samuel 24:3 you will find that our Bible do not give the "literal" translation --- because it wouldn't make sense in English. The Hebrew is still there in the footnotes. There are many cases of this kind of thing, and I think it is wise to pay attention to them. |

Thanks JRM, it makes sense when you say it like that, In fact somewhere in the cobwebs of my alleged mind, I seem to remember hearing, or reading that before. :-) God bless John |
