Fascinating facts & figures in this USA study feature:-
http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/200 ... 30.31.html
But its conclusion shows me that even social studies professionals don't really understand true friendship: what God says is the basis for choosing our closest confidants & developing true 'koinonia' fellowship
Koinonia was the Greek for a business partnership - chosen to show that God wants us to mean business in 'building each other up in our most holy faith'
Being 'unequally yoked' applies not only to choice of spouse, but choice of 'bosom buddies'
Proverbs has a lot to say about wisdom in choice of companions: to avoid outright crime. as well as dangerous/unhealthy activities - & on the positive side, for helpful influence in character building
Let's use this thread to share insights about the different levels of friendship, to help the many lonely folk out there, yes?
What say you?
