2 Timothy 2:19 Nevertheless the solid foundation of God stands, having this seal:

The Lord knows those who are His, and,

Let everyone who names the name of Christ depart from iniquity.

iniquity-[G93] adikia=unrighteousness

Does a believer depart from unrighteousness by learning

about sin, or how to walk by faith?

The righteousness of faith defines sin in the simplest of terms,

lest there be anyone who thinks they can take this lightly, 

such as this is a high priority in a healthy Body.

Romans 14:

21 It is good neither to eat meat nor drink wine nor do

anything by which your brother stumbles or is offended or is made weak. 

22 Do you have faith? Have it to yourself before God. 

Happy is he who does not condemn himself in what he approves. 

23 But he who doubts is condemned if he eats, because he does not eat from faith;

for whatever is not from faith is sin.

If this is true for eating, it is true of every decision, every act that will

effect the lives of others, and their relationship with the Lord. Was not the offending

of others a primary trespass in the eyes of the Lord, and in the apostolic doctrine?

James 3:

1 My brethren, be not many teachers,

knowing that we shall receive the greater condemnation.

For in many things we offend all. If any man offend not in word,

the same is a perfect man, and able also to bridle the whole body.

Context, context and again context.

Without context you are writing  nonsense. 

Doubt is not a sin, the context is of someone's who's faith is weak and they believe that meat sacrificed to animals in pagan temples is to demons, but they are being lead astray by more confident Christians to eat of that meat.

That is where they are doubting without this context all is nonsense. 

 

There is however two sins about doubts. 

1. If a leader ignores questions and doubts of a follower and tells them to " just believe " or "  have faith " that is a serious sin by that leader.

2, if someone with questions and doubts does not look for answers.

51 minutes ago, Who me said:

Doubt is not a sin

This was never said, the title clearly states "WHEN doubt is sin". 

So let's see who is talking nonsense.

I quoted from Romans 14, so the context was perfectly clear.

Anyone needing to read the entire chapter if necessary has a Bible.

I clearly stated that acting in doubt, when it leads to causing offense to another, is sin.

If you would like to explain how this statement is unclear, much less nonsense, feel free to continue

your tact, or lack thereof. This OP made it completely clear, that this is about offending others.

For your peace of mind, I would like you to know that I am not offended. In fact,

I have become quite used to you dashing off these "nonsense, context" responses.

If you are sincerely concerned with not offending others though, take it 

other advisement, your responses would easily offend a less mature believer.

Two very good examples, thank you for posting something worthwhile.

Doubt is not of God and if its not of God what else can it be? Even when we pray if we doubt let not that man think he will get anything from God. What do we do? Trust in the LORD with all thine heart; and lean not unto thine own understanding. In all thy ways acknowledge him, and he shall direct thy paths.

We doubt all the time and since we do its normal not wrong yet it is not trusting God. If we trust Him hello FAITH! 

So if you don't want to call it sin go for it but it is not of God.

    • You are coming up higher in this season – above the assignments of character assassination and verbal arrows sent to manage you, contain you, and derail your purpose. Where you have had your dreams and sleep robbed, as well as your peace and clarity robbed – leaving you feeling foggy, confused, and heavy – God is, right now, bringing freedom back -- now you will clearly see the smoke and mirrors that were set to distract you and you will disengage.

      Right now God is declaring a "no access zone" around you, and your enemies will no longer have any entry point into your life. Oil is being poured over you to restore the years that the locust ate and give you back your passion. This is where you will feel a fresh roar begin to erupt from your inner being, and a call to leave the trenches behind and begin your odyssey in your Christ calling moving you to bear fruit that remains as you minister to and disciple others into their Christ identity.

      This is where you leave the trenches and scale the mountain to fight from a different place, from victory, from peace, and from rest. Now watch as God leads you up higher above all the noise, above all the chaos, and shows you where you have been seated all along with Him in heavenly places where you are UNTOUCHABLE. This is where you leave the soul fight, and the mind battle, and learn to fight differently.

      You will know how to live like an eagle and lead others to the same place of safety and protection that God led you to, which broke you out of the silent prison you were in. Put your war boots on and get ready to fight back! Refuse to lay down -- get out of bed and rebuke what is coming at you. Remember where you are seated and live from that place.

      Acts 1:8 - “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and you will be my witnesses … to the end of the earth.”

    • George Whitten, the visionary behind Worthy Ministries and Worthy News, explores the timing of the Simchat Torah War in Israel. Is this a water-breaking moment? Does the timing of the conflict on October 7 with Hamas signify something more significant on the horizon?

    • Understanding the Enemy!

      I thought I write about the flip side of a topic, and how to recognize the attempts of the enemy to destroy lives and how you can walk in His victory!

      For the Apostle Paul taught us not to be ignorant of enemy's tactics and strategies.

      2 Corinthians 2:112  Lest Satan should get an advantage of us: for we are not ignorant of his devices. 

      So often, we can learn lessons by learning and playing "devil's" advocate.  When we read this passage,

      Mar 3:26  And if Satan rise up against himself, and be divided, he cannot stand, but hath an end. 
      Mar 3:27  No man can enter into a strong man's house, and spoil his goods, except he will first bind the strongman; and then he will spoil his house. 

      Here we learn a lesson that in order to plunder one's house you must first BIND up the strongman.  While we realize in this particular passage this is referring to God binding up the strongman (Satan) and this is how Satan's house is plundered.  But if you carefully analyze the enemy -- you realize that he uses the same tactics on us!  Your house cannot be plundered -- unless you are first bound.   And then Satan can plunder your house!

    • Abraham and Issac: Pictures of the Resurrection, Part 2
      Shalom everyone,

      As we continue this series the next obvious sign of the resurrection in the Old Testament is the sign of Isaac and Abraham.

      Gen 22:1  After these things God tested Abraham and said to him, "Abraham!" And he said, "Here I am."
      Gen 22:2  He said, "Take your son, your only son Isaac, whom you love, and go to the land of Moriah, and offer him there as a burnt offering on one of the mountains of which I shall tell you."

      So God "tests" Abraham and as a perfect picture of the coming sacrifice of God's only begotten Son (Yeshua - Jesus) God instructs Issac to go and sacrifice his son, Issac.  Where does he say to offer him?  On Moriah -- the exact location of the Temple Mount.
