cultures, a greeting of open kissing among people is an accepted and expected

being kissed as a public greeting and their boundary needs to be respected. It really

doesn’t matter whether believers kiss, hug, shake hands, wave, smile, pat on the

shoulder or hand, or say a verbal greeting, etc. What is important is that we make sure to

confirm our love, friendship and unity among one another, as believers, even though we

don’t necessarily agree upon everything. The word “holy” means “sacred”, “separated”,

“pure” or “wholesome”, and believers are to walk in unity and have a wholesome

relationship of love with one another in Christ.]
