Doesn't the above censorship of the transilation of SKUBALA demonstrate the very problem. The apostle Paul used the world deliberately to have impact through through the shock of its being used. Who are we to claim to be cleverer than God in dedcidng to remeove that shock simply becuase it offends 21st century Christian sensibilties? That's the point. Its meant to have that impact.
This is from Strong's lexicon.neuter of a presumed derivative of 1519 and 2965 and 906; what is thrown to the dogs, i.e. refuse (ordure):--dung.

Do you have the mind of God? How do you know what He said? Do you have greater scholastic knowledge than the KJV translators did in Hebrew and Greek? On what authority are you giving your opinion? Opinion is worth nothing unless you have facts to back it up with?Originally posted by The Undiscovered Country:
Surely the key issue is that God in inspiring His word, decided such language was needed. It isn't for us to try and be cleverer than God simply because of our 21st century sensibilities. There are those would argue that biblical references to homosexuality should be chnaged because they were culturally detemrined and the language is now offensive. How is changing language such as this any different? Aren't we in danger of applying the same argument?
