Ezra 4:15 in order that search may be made in the book of the records of your fathers. You will find in the book of the records and learn that this city is a rebellious city, hurtful to kings and provinces, and that sedition was stirred up in it from of old. That was why this city was laid waste.
Yesterday Ezra was quoted using the word sedition. In the next verse sedition has been replaced with the word dissension. See Galatians 5:20 in the KJV.
Galatians 5:19-21 English Standard Version
19 Now the works of the flesh are evident: sexual immorality, impurity, sensuality, 20 idolatry, sorcery, enmity, strife, jealousy, fits of anger, rivalries, dissensions, divisions, 21 envy, drunkenness, orgies, and things like these. I warn you, as I warned you before, that those who do such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.
The editors of the ESV apparently agree with the opinions of the International Standard Bible Encyclopaedia where they say that the word sedition should not have been used.
Allow me to offer up a real world application that we have witnessed ourselves. When the Supreme Court renders an opinion that is less than 100% agreement one justice will write a dissenting opinion.
Perhaps one reason for removing sedition from a list of works of the flesh is that sedition is closely affiliated with rebellion. Might I offer the opinion that for one to rebel one has to belong to a ruling authority. God will not allow rebellion amongst His children, but he does allow us to have differing opinions.
Revelation 17:17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.
Agreeing in the spirit is not the same as agreeing in the flesh where it can be found there are dissenting opinions. That allows us to be right with God when we do not understand with perfect clarity the will of God. Dissent only becomes a problem in fellowship when it insists that it is the only right opinion.
1 Corinthians 13:5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful;
That is not how love acts.
