Bible Note: oh yes, Azure, that certainly would explain the way Chinese translate the verse, in that case it makes good sense to do it that way. Very interesting by the way. I too am actually aware of the problem you referred to. I remember listing to an interview with the evangelist Billy Graham, wherein he said that he made a point never to even have an interview, or counsel a member of opposite sex in a private setting, so as not to have even a hint of impropriety or to give any a opportunity to accuse him of immorality. It is indeed sad, to see some, especially in a leadership role, to misrepresent our Lord in such a way. Thank you for your response Sister Azure. God bless John P.S. not many here greet with kisses ether, though some do, they are usually related, with close family ties. As Sister Val pointed out, we usually just want hugs! :-) |
