It seems that you have admitted that the bible doesn't explicity say what you believe it says. So is your interpretation of this verse a valid translation, or is it a hyper-paraphrase?

PB: "It seems that you have admitted that the bible doesn't explicitly say what you believe it says." No; I have said that the Bible doesn't explicitly say what I believe it /means./ PB: "So is your interpretation of this verse a valid translation, or is it a hyper-paraphrase?" Neither. My interpretation is exactly that: an interpretation. The text implies that Mary was not frozen in place and that she was clinging to Jesus. Whether this was a hug or something else (say, embracing His feet) is not stated. But Jesus' words are a response to her act and the sentiment accompanying it; they were not a general prohibition against touching Jesus after the resurrection. Yours in Christ, Waterrock |

Quote:Waterrock's Biblical interpretations? No. But that certainly won't stop him from putting faith in them and trying to convince others that they are accurate. "If I were God, and I made myself into a regular ol' person, I would have written down the stuff I said myself. I would have had people there with me taking notes. I wouldn't rely on people from the generation after my death to get the story right." - i would be an astronaut on the SAB Message Board |
