For a wholesome understanding of the topic, certain concepts are very important to be explained. The phrase ‘to walk with’ has certain grammatical connotation which does not admit two people of different functional orientation to walk together. It is a matter of etiquette and good manner, that you do not walk with your Superior or your elder. Normally, your superior takes the front pace while you come behind a little.   On the other hand, the Old Testament celebrated certain people who walked with God. Enoch was said to have walked with God, and as such we gathered information that he disappeared because God took him up. (Gen. 5: 22-24).  Noah walked with God (Gen. 6:9). Noah was qualified to be a just man, blameless among the people of his time.

In all these forms of relationships, there are false ones. It is good we look into false relationships in friendship relationship.
