I am curious as to what peoples interperatations are of this message in Peters Epistle:
"She who is in Babylon, chosen together with you, sends you greetings, and so does my son, (AK)Mark."- Peter -5:13
Now we all know babylon was Rome during that time. But when Peter says "She" who do you think he was talking about. I have been reading many cross referances but sometimes I have thought the "she" that peter was talking about was Mary, and at other times I think it is the Mother Church. Since the church is reffered to as a woman 'she'..Now we all know that Mark was Peters "recorder" in a way, but I am curious as to why he calls him a son..could mark have been a blood son of Peter or is he talking in more a symbolic sense?
