Scripture Post #140: *DOUBT IS SIN*

Romans 14:23: "And he that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith: for whatsoever is not of faith is sin."


Note: This Scripture was from Paul, a servant & Apostle of Christ, to all that were in Rome (Rom. 1:1 & 7).

Apostle Paul stated, not to eat meat, if eating meat offends your brother (Rom. 14:20-21). That's why eating is mentioned in this verse: (Rom. 14:23)  "…He that doubteth is damned if he eat, because he eateth not of faith…" The focus here is the "not of faith" part. It's not about eating. Eating was only mentioned because it was the subject of this chapter (Rom. 14). But Rom. 14:23 is about faithlessness. Because Paul also states, "…Whatsoever is not of faith is sin." You see? Eating in doubt (without faith) was just an example. But really, anything done without faith is sin unto God. This makes doubt sin unto God.
