I think I may need to consider the New Testament "greetings" further in this light...

Still digging a little.

Apparently, "greeting one another with a holy kiss" was maintained in Roman Catholic practice in some fashion until the 13th century, when the practice was somehow replaced by kissing an icon.

Sure didn't see that one coming!

Kind of missed the boat on this verse, I'd say...

2Cr 6:16 And what agreement hath the temple of God with idols? for ye are the temple of the living God; as God hath said, I will dwell in them, and walk in [them]; and I will be their God, and they shall be my people.
