Any thoughts?
Well, I am not a Christian friend, but.....In most forms of Christianity you could have the friend-friend relationship on some level. Out of the ones you mentioned, this would be the most accepted in Christianity. Possibly even the brother relationship on some level, in terms of the Christ relationship. Of course, we cannot have any feminine relationships, because that would be giving women too much power. Don't want any uppity women running rampant thinking they are equal. ; )
