Ep03.11a: Unpacking Series - Evil/Sin (a definition)

EVIL/SIN:  primarily, a turning from God or His beneficial goods and secondarily, a turning to something detrimental (to you or others).

 

Thus begins an almost seven hour exploration into what evil and sin are according to Scripture.  Given the scope and sheer volume of information on this issue, we have broken the study into six sections:

   a: a definition of evil/sin

   b: what evil/sin results in

   c: why a perfect, good, loving, and omnipotent God allows evil/sin

   d: a working list of all the evils/sins the Bible mentions

   e: how God interacts with and responds to sin

   f: how we are to minimize, interact with, and respond to sin

 

And here is the TIMESTAMP for this episode A:

0:00 - an introduction to unpacking the concept of evil and sin, and explaining why this study was developed and how it will be presented over six sessions.

24:27 - looking at the initial terminology of and philosophy behind evil and sin, including other overlapping, relevant unpacking issues like love, good, etc.

52:26 - coming to a conclusion on the scriptural definition of evil and sin.
