I'm going to rapid fire go through some of these questions because we have so many questions.
I want to actually answer people's questions.
Do any newer versions alter any of the reprobate doctrine passages from the KJV?
I don't think that they necessarily do too much.
As far as even the modern versions, as corrupt as they are, are still going to pretty much
say the same thing in Leviticus 2013, as far as, you know, putting them to death.
I don't really know if they would change Romans 1.
I mean, you guys happen to know off the top of your head what they do, or, you know, just
one of you guys, can one of you guys just look it up maybe?
And Brother Robinson, you want to just look up Romans 1 in the ESV and IV and see if they
change the reprobate passage?
Yeah, let me grab my ESV off the shelf.
I do know this is that obviously that people have different interpretations of like 1 Corinthians
6, 9.
But the new versions, you know, obviously the King James says, effeminate, nor effeminate,
nor abuses of themselves with mankind, referring to those who won't inherit the kingdom of
God.
You have nor effeminate, nor abuses of themselves with mankind, and the new versions of the
Bible will often just completely omit effeminate and remove abuses of themselves with mankind
and will put like homosexuals, they'll put sodomites, or they'll put men who have sex
with men.
They'll just completely translate it like that.
And then they'll put the footnote and they'll say that the Greek says like, that's what
it's stating, like a sodomite or something like that.
Well, the thing about that is that you have two different terms there.
Right.
Okay.
You have melakis.
And the thing about, and here's the thing, even people who don't speak Greek, they might
have heard this slang, calling somebody a malaka, you know, that's what, that's like
Greek people's favorite insult to call is to call them a malaka.
But what that word actually literally means, you know, malakos means soft.
Right.
In fact, even if you're just learning modern Greek and you just learn the words for like
hard, soft, just on, you know, Rosetta Stone, Duolingo, whatever, that's what you're, that's
the word you're going to learn.
And in that context, it's talking about people who are effeminate because dudes who are soft,
a soft dude is effeminate.
So it makes sense that that's why that word means that.
And then the other the other word, you know, is obviously a complicated issue that we don't
have time to go into all the ramifications of the word.
But even even the word effeminate, like, because I've heard people say, yeah, but they'll say
like the, a lot of the newer versions of the Bible will say that effeminate, I mean,
a lot of Milwaukee's basically means that the passive partner in homosexual relationship,
which obviously is, is nonsense because if you, you can compare, you can look in the
Greek New Testament and see that Matthew 11, 28, when talking about those who wear soft
clothing that says Milwaukee's same word, same word.
Yeah.
So they're just kind of like, I'm starting that.
I think that one's really clear.
The abuse of themselves with mankind is a, is a, is a difficult word because it's not
found anywhere outside the New Testament as far as like any ancient witnesses, like, like
we can't, we can't find it in like ancient Greek literature, you know, from something
before the time of Christ that could tell us, you know, more insight on that.
And there are lots of different views and opinions of that term abuses of themselves
of mankind.
The only other time you'll see is in first Timothy chapter one.
But, but the, the word that the King James does as effeminate is clear cut.
The King James is dead on.
It's for sure.
Right.
And being effeminate doesn't make you a homo.
Right.
Because there are a lot of effeminates who are straight, but they're just a Metro.
They're just a girly man.
So did you find anything there, brother Robinson?
So I got, I pulled up Romans one and I have a, I'm not muted.
Right.
So, uh, it says in Romans one 28, it says, furthermore, just as they did not like, didn't
I can't, I can't have them like quoting it now, furthermore, just as they did not think
it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God.
So God gave them over to a depraved mind so that they do what ought not to be done.
Yeah.
So they have ruined the reprobate doctrine because being depraved is not the same as
being reprobate.
Reprobate means rejected, whereas depraved just means super wicked.
So that's not the same thing.
So yeah, they do, they do the same thing.
Well, so in second Timothy, where it says, uh, reprobate concerning faith, um, it says
they are men of depraved minds who as far as the faith is concerned are rejected.
Now it says always learning, but never able to come to a knowledge of the truth.
I don't know it, but I've never looked at, I've never looked at these.
I'm just going to pull them up, but yeah, you're just, you're just checking it out on
the fly.
Anyway, let's, let's move on from that because you know, Leviticus 20, 13 is clear in, in
every version, even the bad versions about what should happen to those kinds of people.
And we don't want to go too far off in the reprobate doctrine because we want to stay
on topic of, of, uh, King James only.
