Subject: "throwing stones" or "making love"? |
Bible Note: 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 |
