Subject: What do you make about love between men |
Bible Note: Clarification ....................................... Dear Searcher, I just wanted to suggest that a more accurate description of David and Johnathon’s love for each other would be “platonic” as opposed to “pure”. The reason for this is two-fold. First is that “platonic” actually means what you are talking about (a love which does not involve sex at all). ....................................... The second is that by using the word “pure” instead, it implies that any sexual relationship would be impure. I know that you don’t mean that, because obviously a sexual relationship between a man and wife who God has joined together, is deffinately a good thing. In fact, I would say that it is an important aspect of their pure love for each other. ....................................... The reason why I make this distinction is because in the early centuries after Christ death there arose a heretical view that all flesh is completely evil. This view was shown to be wrong, but still influences many people today in subtle ways. It also is one of the major tenets of Buddhism. Once again, I know from previous experience with you Searcher, that you don’t support these ideas, I just wanted to clarify for others reading this thread. |
