Why on earth would I, a Westerner living in the 21st Century greet a brother with a kiss??? Does that make even a lick of sense, RDP? Really? The way you read the scriptures is like it's a code of conduct, a rule book even --- instead of a shared story, informing us about God.

So how often should we be smooching each other? Once a year? One in a lifetime? How do we get our laws consistent with that law book called scripture?

This HAS GOT to be the silliest 'argument' I've ever heard in my life to attampt to invalidate I Tim. 2:11-15! Using your logic, NONE of the Bible is for us today....since we live as "Westerners in the 21st century"!?!? How in the world you can compare a greeting to God's order of headship is beyond me.

You simply refuse to accept I Tim. 2:11-15, so your best "argument" is to say, "Well, we don't greet each other w/ a holy kiss [& I've already told you that many do...for about the 5th time now!], so why should we take Paul seriously in I Tim. 2:11-15!" You can't be serious...this is much like the atheist argument that says that original life was planted here by aliens! This is what Ive been wasting my time w/??????????????????????????????
