Yes<\/strong><\/span> No<\/strong><\/span> SAB Contradiction 76 <\/span><\/strong> Should we bear each other's burdens? According to the Skeptic’s Annotated Bible (SAB) we have a clear contradiction in Galatians chapter 6. YES according to verse 2, but NO according to verse 5. The two words ‘burden’ and ‘load’ can both be used in either literal or figurative sense. In verses 2 and 5 a figurative sense is meant, but not the same one. And that’s the point. The contexts make it all very clear. In the first context, the subject is: trespasses; (see verse 1). In some way we have to live with them and with those who acted wrongly. In 1 Corinthians 13:7 it is said about love, that: ‘it bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things’. So it is rightly said in verse 2 to ‘bear one another’s burdens’.<\/p>\n In the second context, the subject is: personal way of life; (see verse 4). Nobody can live the life of someone else, or ‘each one will bear his own load’. Verse 2. Burdens, in Greek ‘barè’ with the root ‘bar-’: burden. Who sees a contradiction in these verses, is limited in handling texts. Two different Greek words. It is not APPROPRIATE TO IDENTIFY THEM; ignoring differences in texts isn’t proper reading anymore.

\n\tIndeed the King James Version also has ‘burden’ in verse 5, but does that mean that SAB is right? <\/p>\n
