<p><font face="Calibri"><font size="3">To a born again Christian, God’s laws are written on our hearts, not a preset set of rules and regulations. If sin will send a person to hell, which one will it be? There is no degree of sin, in other words, there is no, one sin greater than another. Then if sin sends a person to hell, then we will all wind up in hell.

<p><font face="Calibri"><font size="3">There are too many Christians that have sin categorized, their pet sins, that they criticize others with. But what may be a sin for one, is not necessarily a sin for another. A couple of scriptures come to mind. <b>Romans 14:14-23 (KJV)</b> <br/></font> <sup><font size="2">14</font></sup> <font size="3"> I know, and am persuaded by the Lord Jesus,</font></font> <font face="Calibri"><b><i><u><font size="3">that there is nothing unclean of itself: but to him that esteemeth any thing to be unclean, to him it is unclean. <br/></font></u></i></b> <sup><font size="2">15</font></sup></font> <font face="Calibri" size="3"> But if thy brother be grieved with <i>thy</i> meat, now walkest thou not charitably. Destroy not him with thy meat, for whom Christ died. <br/></font> <b><i><u><sup><font face="Calibri" size="2">16</font></sup> <font face="Calibri" size="3"> Let not then your good be evil spoken of: <br/></font></u></i></b> <sup><font face="Calibri" size="2">17</font></sup> <font face="Calibri"><font size="3"> For the kingdom of God is not meat and drink; but righteousness, and peace, and joy in the Holy Ghost. <br/></font> <sup><font size="2">18</font></sup></font> <font face="Calibri"><font size="3"> For he that in these things serveth Christ <i>is</i> acceptable to God, and approved of men. <br/></font> <sup><font size="2">19</font></sup></font> <font face="Calibri"><font size="3"> Let us therefore follow after the things which make for peace, and things wherewith one may edify another. <br/></font> <sup><font size="2">20</font></sup> <font size="3"> For meat destroy not the work of God. <b><i><u>All things indeed are pure;</u></i></b> <b><i><u>but it is evil for that man who eateth with offence.</u></i></b></font></font> <sup><br/> <font face="Calibri" size="2">21</font></sup> <font face="Calibri"><font size="3"> <i>It is</i> good neither to eat flesh, nor to drink wine, nor <i>any thing</i> whereby thy brother stumbleth, or is offended, or is made weak. <br/></font> <sup><font size="2">22</font></sup> <font size="3"> <b><i><u>Hast thou faith? have it to thyself before God</u></i></b>.</font></font> <font face="Calibri"><b><i><u><font size="3">Happy is he that condemneth not himself in that thing which he alloweth. <br/></font></u></i></b> <sup><font size="2">23</font></sup> <font size="3"> <b><i>And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: <u>for whatsoever is not of faith is sin. </u></i></b></font></font></p>
<p><b>1 Corinthians 8:7-13 (KJV)</b> <br/> <sup>7</sup> Howbeit <i>there is</i> not in every man that knowledge: for some with conscience of the idol unto this hour eat <i>it</i> as a thing offered unto an idol; and their conscience being weak is defiled. <br/> <sup>8</sup> But meat commendeth us not to God: for neither, if we eat, are we the better; neither, if we eat not, are we the worse. <br/> <sup>9</sup> But take heed lest by any means this liberty of yours become a stumblingblock to them that are weak. <br/> <sup>10</sup> For if any man see thee which hast knowledge sit at meat in the idol's temple, shall not the conscience of him which is weak be emboldened to eat those things which are offered to idols; <br/> <sup>11</sup> And through thy knowledge shall the weak brother perish, for whom Christ died? <br/> <sup>12</sup> But when ye sin so against the brethren, and wound their weak conscience, ye sin against Christ. <br/> <sup>13</sup> Wherefore, if meat make my brother to offend, I will eat no flesh while the world standeth, lest I make my brother to offend.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>These scriptures are hard for a sin conscious Christian to understand, or receive, they are completely contrary to their religion. This is not minimizing the effects of sin; but to magnify the power of God.</p>

Where Peter denies Christ, it's not really clear on how deny is being used. Sometimes the context will answer the question but in this instance I've often wondered about this one. Since the Greek used is different variations, I wonder why the translators used the same word for each, rather than a more definitive similar word. It's the translations that I wonder about.

<p>Personally, I don't care for the KJV, not because it's not a good translation, it is a good one, but because it's so Shakespearean. I personally like the ESV.</p>
<p>Now to your question. As far as when a translator translates a word it must always be in context with the surrounding material.

<p>When Peter denied Jesus, he denied Him out of fear for his life. It's the human side of all of us. But, if you will remember Jesus told Peter he would deny Him and that Satan wanted to sift him like wheat. That sifting was meant to reveal to Peter his weaknesses, and show Him he cannot do anything without the help of Jesus. Remember the scene where the women were told by the angel to go back and tell the disciples and Peter that He has risen? The "and Peter" part is significant here because of Peter denying Him. Can you just imagine how Peter must have felt? I can. Then we come to the scene on the beach where Jesus asks him three times, "Peter, do you love Me?" I believe this is to show Peter that Jesus has indeed forgiven Peter.</p>
<p>The key thing to remember is context. That is what they taught me and keyed in on, context.</p>
<p>The key context in 2 Timothy 3:13 for deny at the end of verse 13 "...for he cannot deny himself. "Is found in the last part of verse 9 "But the word of God is not bound!" Here Paul is reminding Timothy that the Lord is faithful to His Word which is what he meant by "if we are faithless, he remains faithful—he cannot deny himself." (ESV) He cannot deny His Word, which is Himself.</p>
<p>I hope this helps.</p>

I've used both KJV and NIV but use Mounce Interlinear to see the original Greek. I get the translations above like Carla, and all I can figure is where the word has several translations, different ones must be meant. Rather than say disown on one and disavow on another, they translated both as deny maybe?
