No. Carolina Bart D. Ehrman.<BR/><BR/>One of the interesting points he makes in his analysis of the origins of the NT: the greek words for evil and sexual immorality are very similar. So much so that in many instances, scribes mis-transcribed one word for the other. There are hundreds of examples of this error.<BR/><BR/>Briefly, it's likely that Jesus, Paul and the gang weren't as concerned with sex as you might think from reading the bible -- it's most likely due to "sloppy-copy" work.RRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12196333516263804947noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15168595.post-85606858722809151462007-02-26T08:56:00.000-05:002007-02-26T08:56:00.000-05:00sesquipedalianisms R ussesquipedalianisms R usCapt.
