Bible Question:
What are considered, "sins of the flesh"? and where does it talk about them in the bible? Also, totally different question, but I was always told that the KJV wasn't a good version to use, since it was writen by one man? Am I wrong? Were they wrong? Just wondering cuz I noticed a lot of people use it. Thanks! |
Bible Answer: The King James Version of the Bible is a good one. It was written by some forty people, and translated by more than forty. “It is commonly reported that there were 54 translators selected to the translation but only 47 actually participated in the work“. The person who said that one man wrote it was probably thinking that King James I of England was that man. But although King James wrote many things, and although it was he who had asked that a new translation be made (He commissioned it, and that’s why it bears his name) he did not, of course, write the Bible. The author is really the Holy Spirit (2 Timothy 3:16). The Human writers were holy men (2 Peter 1:21), and the translators were reputed to be honorable, scholarly men. We should be grateful for their work. As they themselves admitted, their work was not perfect. The King James Bible has been revised, and other translations have been done. We should use many, if not all of them. As for the sins of the flesh, the King James Version names them this way: “The works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like” (Galatians 5:19-21). Another version (the New Living Translation) puts it this way: “When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, your lives will produce these evil results: sexual immorality, impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure, idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger, selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group, envy, drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin”. The list is not exhaustive, bou get the idea. |
