A female hooker, female escort or one of his wifes female friends. You got websites, street corners or the church to find one. Women out number men 35 to 1 in this world. No excuse for being a funny bunny. None!!!!!!

Unless you read the original copy, then that scripture was somebody's interpretation as well.

I think you are getting interpretation and translation mixed up. The bible was translated from the original Hebrew and Greek languages.
 
Re: Men allege sexual coercion by Pastor Eddie Long continued....

yeah I think he is

because your whole education is and was based off someone's interpretation.

language is just that language
 
Re: Men allege sexual coercion by Pastor Eddie Long continued....

I agree. It's best to have discernment of the Spirit though, and to know what spirit you're listening to.

i thought i read somewhere that the bishop admitted to having sex with the boys but he said it was ok bc it was consentual

I think that was just a rumor. As far I know, Long has not said a mumbling word yet.

Naw, JState83 said it but never provided a link...

Now, Long's attorney kept saying the boys were of legal age consent...but I don't think he even said Long had sex with the boys.

This is why I have never been one of those guys who like to wrestle. My pops told me when I was a youngster that ain't no two men got no business touching on each other like that.

translation, interpretation is one in the same.

no. translation would be an exact replication from language to language. Interpretation is subjective and allows personal cognitive reasoning to insert itself into the mix.

An exact replication is dang near impossible between many languages because of technical and lingusitic differences. In those situations, the author would still have to interpet what he believe the scripture is saying and then rewrite it in the second language. What you said sounds easy and logical but history proves that is not always the case.

^^ What CT said. Both are totally different. You can Google both words and see their difference definitions. Like I said before, the bible was translated from Hebrew (Old Testament) and Greek (New Testament) to English. Now I will admit it was impossible to do a word for word translation to English for every Hebrew/Greek word, but the ultimate goal was to find words as close as possible. For example, the word Love in the bible can have four different meanings. In Hebrew/Greek they used the actual word, but in English we used the word love to describe all.

Agape – Unconditional Love
Eros – love between a man and woman
Philia – brotherly love
Storge – family love

You just proved my point. Some things dont translate.
