“Who Was Andy Griffith? Griffith and his wife moved to New York, where he made his television debut as a guest monologist on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1954. That same year, he won the role of Will Stockdale in the TV version of Ira Levin's play, No Time for Sergeants . When the play was produced on Broadway in 1955, it became a hit, and Griffith was nominated for a Tony Award for outstanding supporting actor. Like his co-star and fellow southerner, Don Knotts, Griffith went on to reprise his role in the 1958 film version of No Time for Sergeants , which met with a mixed critical reception. In 1960, Griffith earned another Tony nomination, this time for best actor in a musical, for Destry Rides Again . He made his feature film debut in 1957, in the provocative A Face in the Crowd , directed by Elia Kazan. He was also a regular, with Knotts, on the NBC variety series, The Steve Allen Show , from 1959 to 1960. 'The Andy Griffith Show'”

“Who Was Andy Griffith? Griffith and his wife moved to New York, where he made his television debut as a guest monologist on the Ed Sullivan Show in 1954. That same year, he won the role of Will Stockdale in the TV version of Ira Levin's play, No Time for Sergeants . When the play was produced on Broadway in 1955, it became a hit, and Griffith was nominated for a Tony Award for outstanding supporting actor. Like his co-star and fellow southerner, Don Knotts, Griffith went on to reprise his role in the 1958 film version of No Time for Sergeants , which met with a mixed critical reception. In 1960, Griffith earned another Tony nomination, this time for best actor in a musical, for Destry Rides Again . He made his feature film debut in 1957, in the provocative A Face in the Crowd , directed by Elia Kazan. He was also a regular, with Knotts, on the NBC variety series, The Steve Allen Show , from 1959 to 1960. 'The Andy Griffith Show'”

“What is the sin nature? What does it mean that we all have a sin nature? I see brethren go around and around and around in circles trying to understand that ‘sin nature’ concept, which is actually one of men’s doctrines pushed into certain English Bible translations (New Living Translation; God’s Word Translation, etc.). It comes from a different translation of Apostle Paul’s teaching in Romans 7… Rom 7:17-18 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh, ) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. KJV Rom 7:22-23 22 For I delight in the law of God after the inward man: 23 But I see another law in my members , warring against the law of my mind, and bringing me into captivity to the law of sin which is in my members. KJV Rom 7:25 25 I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord. So then with the mind I myself serve the law of God; but with the flesh the law of sin.”
