Subject: "throwing stones" or "making love"?

Bible Note: Hi Doc.
Thanks for adding some scholarly perspective.
Maybe I'll meet Eugene some day, and ask him a few questions.

Here's my crazy link between Eugene and the real text: if the "stones" were understood as seeds, as in "the seed of Abraham", then his rendering would be reasonable.

Your art discussion topic looks good. Art does not have authority like scripture --- but we do live by story. If Christians back out of the task, people will live by CSI. (Lord, have mercy.) I see part of our world-shaping task (for God gives us responsibility to shape this world, as an echo of His creative power)as an artistic one. One of my favorite verses is when Joseph says "Interpretations belong to the Lord."
