Do Not Sin

Situation ethics is the belief that sometimes man can sin. The “situation ethics people” will say that because of the norm, or the present situation, it is “demanded” that you sin. They will try to come up with a time when you are “forced” to sin. Once the sin is justified by being the only thing to do, it is suddenly transformed to being “good”. Other times they will say that the Bible contradicts itself, then you can just choose the portion of scripture you would rather follow! But so called “Christian” situation ethics is defeated by 1 Corinthians 10:13:
"There hath no temptation taken you but such as is common to man: but God is faithful, who will not suffer you to be tempted above that ye are able; but will with the temptation also make a way to escape, that ye may be able to bear it." (KJV) and also in Romans 6:1-2:
"What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound? God forbid. How shall we, that are dead to sin, live any longer therein?" (KJV)
Another problem with those who hold fast to situation ethics is that they do not take the sovereignty of God, or the power of the Holy Spirit into account. It sees God as stupid, Because He was stupid in not foreseeing that His laws would contradict.
And if you were forced to sin, you did not really sin, therefore you do not even have to confess your sins! So you will never need the saving blood of Jesus. So you see, situation ethics is another way of covering up your sins. May you never do the same. Have a good day!
