Subject: definition of witchcraft |
Bible Note: KJV says--"Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft..." I took this as the sin of rebellion is the same level as the sin of witchcraft not that they are the same but that they are being compaired. other versions say NIV--For rebellion is like the sin of divination... NASB--For rebellion is as the sin of divination... MSG--Not doing what God tells you is far worse than fooling around in the occult... AMP--For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft NLT--Rebellion is as sinful as witchcraft... ESV--For rebellion is as the sin of divination... CEV--Rebelling against God or disobeying him because you are proud is just as bad as worshiping idols or asking them for advice... NKJV--For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft... 21stCKJV--For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft ASV--For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft... YLT--for a sin of divination [is] rebellion... DT--For rebellion is [as] the sin of divination... NLV--To go against what you are told is like the sin of witchcraft... HCSB--For rebellion is like the sin of divination... NIRV--Refusing to obey him is as sinful as using evil magic... NIVUK--For rebellion is like the sin of divination... TNIV--For rebellion is like the sin of divination... Are these not analogies or comparisons? joanna :) |
