Genesis 26:8

RE: Genesis 26:8
(December 2, 2018 at 6:13 am)Fake Messiah Wrote: Only Good News Translation says it right "When Isaac had been there for some time, King Abimelech looked down from his window and saw Isaac and Rebecca making love."


In early 20th century novels (e.g. Henry James) "making love" means something like flirting. Or speaking lovingly to one another. 

It's kind of a surprise when you read "the happy couple was making love on the sofa during the party." Even though it's not that kind of party. 

I don't know when the Good News translation was made, but it might not mean sex.
