Why many people here use word girlfriend/boyfriend?

[Archivist]

Where in bible is used word girlfriend/boyfriend?

So we need to abandon any word not used in the Bible? Just toss out computer, automobile, airplane, antibiotic, president, etc. Our vocabulary could get much smaller...

We must live according to bible. Where in bible is used word girlfriend/boyfriend?
Is this not fornication? Fornication means to have sexual activity without being married to the human. Kiss is fornication too, because it is sexual activity. What do you think?

I read a letter written by my relative 90 years ago on a German ship heading from Texas and Cuba to Germany, he sat between a Spanish lady and German crewman translating back and forth for them and said "They were making love", since that was the way, communication between a couple "dating" at that time would be described, it was all very innocent.

...Are you implying Judas committed fornication by kissing Jesus to betray him--

Precisely.

Might as well include names too, seeing how they have origins and meanings. What if someone's name had a, gasp, secret evil meaning??

Speaking of which, I don't recall seeing your name in the Bible...

That was probably a miss-translation of having an intellectual intercourse on some subject.

I...dude, fornication means premarital sex. Please be careful with your wording; implying Judas had premarital sex with Jesus is, uh...you know.

Did you know that the 'f' word has Germanic origins in which it meant 'forceful'?

Spiritual adultery by any other name .....

No it means fornication under concession of king in urban-medevil language

My Grandmother told me what it meant and how they used "making love", at her time.

A kiss is fornication according to scripture when told to kiss the Son lest He be angry and then turn around and betray Him with a kiss.

How does that fit with the definition of the word "inappropriate contentia" which is what "fornication" is based on?

 

[theoneandonlypencil]

No--that wasn't the earliest definition. Earliest use is still semi debated, but it's thought to carry a non sexual meaning

Very true

Nope, Archivist isn't in there although St. Lawrence is the patron saint of--among other things--archivists.

Woah, there's an interesting new piece of info. I honestly had no idea what that word meant, so thanks LOL.

OK - there is another term you do not understand.

 

[splish- splash]

It’s Bella. Not Belz.

Neither the OP or the majority of your responses suggest an opinion. You equated kissing to fornication and lust. Perhaps you’ve had a change of heart.

~Bella

Ok Bella Pardon me for calling you Bellz. So how exactly have i equated this to fornication by the way? Could you pull that part out so I can go through it again please thanks.

St Lawrence was librarian of the Church, which is why he is the patron saint of archivists and of librarians. He is also the patron saint of cooks and of comedians. He is the patron saint of cooks because he was literally cooked to death on a large gridiron. He is the patron saint of comedians because his last words were supposed to have been "I'm done on this side. Turn me over!"

Gimel, Aleph, Lamed is all I know. Certainly not discussing "inappropriate contentia" with someone who has a warped sence of the Songs of Solomon.

What do you think?

I think you are making a hasty generalization / assumption. Unless you come from a traditional Coptic Orthodox family, Indian family or some other ethnic group that still does arranged marriages, dating is how you will find your spouse. While this term is used loosely in the culture, it simply means someone you are courting etc. and in the Christian context can have innocent connotations when done with strict guidelines etc.

 

[bèlla]

Eloquent and informative as always. I'd expect nothing less from a Lady of your caliber, Bella!

Thank you for the compliment.
