Have you all ever heard of being a Babe in Christ? It's actually stated in the Word as such! Was Jesus talking about a sexually attractive female or was He speaking of those who are "New" to the faith?? In my experience, it's best to ask what something means, instead of making an ASSumption. Read the word a bit, or study up on the organization before u mock or try to belittle what God is trying to do. Smh...

You opened a greek chat account just to post this response? When I tried to read up on the organization, all I got out of it was a bunch of grammar and spelling issues as well as informal language (on the facebook page with the broken link in the original post).

i DID ask.

anyway, if you are a part of this org, perhaps your time would be better spent fixing your public image (incorrect fb link, errors sigmagirl200 pointed out) than getting all up in arms over a moniker that you all CHOSE to give yourselves.

Pretty sure Jesus wouldn't have spelled it with a z. That ups the tacky quotient about 5000%.

A) Yes, I'm quite familiar with those passages.
B) Jesus wasn't talking about anything. It was Paul, John and the writer of Hebrews who use the term.
C) None of them said "babe" because none of them spoke English. It was the translators of the King James Version who translated teknion and paidion as "babes."
D) Few if any modern translations use "babes"; they use "infants" instead. There is a very good reason for that -- in contemporary American English "babe" is almost never used to mean "infant" and typically carries a romantic or sexual connotation.
E) Anyone using "babe" or "babes" or {shudder} "babez" in contemporary America should anticipate that most people will read or hear it exactly the way people in this thread have.

I <3 you. I was going to saying something along the lines of C, but I thought a picture of "cool Jesus" was a better idea.

Cool Jesus was definitely a great idea.

Here you go - since you obviously missed it the first time.

I do appreciate PinkWine using quotes that work with both definitions of "babe"; bonus point for working in "carnal".
