there was even confusion about this among the disciples, if you read the accounts, when some saw Jesus he passed through walls, while others touched him in accounts of the same events! that being said the OP is way off, we should not praise or worship God for what we can get out of it...

1 Corinthians 13:1

Proverbs 26:4

those were not random verses, my answer to your first post was, as for me and my house we shall serve God. see it's a common saying to me, the verse was only put there for your benefit, and others not as familiar and may be needing of the context. The second verse is a pretty straight...

Romans 12:2

Joshua 24:15

we are not of the world. 1 John 4:4. the world and dark one makes those barriers, the ones that would have kept Jesus from speaking to the women at the well if he paid any credence to them.

doesn't sound like you grew up with Jesus or his followers, did your peers great each other with a Holy Kiss as Peters did? I assume not, it's not entirely your fault tho, you can't chose your friends or who you associate with...oh wait a minute, yes you can. :Plain: Yes my brother Paul is...

you need to rationalize your prejudice of Others...or anyone not 'like' you on the surface....while completely ignoring the inside...Jesus warned his followers about this...John 7:24 will you hear his instruction? or will you continue to judge by outward appearance rather than how he said you...

well it was not "fine" or except-able for Jesus, an unmarried Jew to talk to the Samaritan woman at the well...very taboo, what will the neighbors think... Had he worried about social convention the NT would be missing some parts sweety! ::cloud9: How many men do you greet with a holy kiss...

I'm sure many of your ilk would consider Jesus a fancy boy when he gives his disciples a holy kiss in public as well... social stigmas should not be what your faith is grounded on if you want to take up your cross and follow Jesus.

sorry to offend, but you used to wave your Christian banner around here for years, and would argue day and night over your own interpretations... now I never claim to be any Guru of yours in any way, I only confessed that in all that time I never insulted you as you are doing to GM....do you...

Was Jesus a Pharisee? if he had Pharisee or Sadducee here to chose from or Other, which do you think he would pick? was he strange for not associating himself with worldly definitions of faith? you know the answer to that is YES, so I consider myself in good company...lol

no stranger than the Holy Kiss Jesus gave his disciples, and Peter taught his as well, 1 Peter 5:14. do you not love others and speak of them fondly just because they are of the same gender? you sound a bit twisted, and not at all like Jesus and his followers to ask such a silly question or...

well no I haven't read them all...but the few I do post in would be the qualifier for the always. I don't know what gave you the idea I hold myself in high regard or importance on this forum. If it helps you at all think of me as lowly as I am. :cloud9:
