Next Episode: 14: The Bible Assumes God's Existence
The doctrine of the Bible’s sufficiency implies that an action is not a sin unless the Bible says it is. Christians also distinguish between something being sinful and something being wise. Asking the question “is what I’m about to do a sin” is a great place to start, but it’s not the only question. For example, a behavior might not be a sin, but there might be some good reasons to avoid or limit that behavior. My point in the last episode was not to say we should do whatever we want as long as it’s not a sin. My point was to clarify that we should not call things sin unless the Bible does.
