Morally Right But Religiously Wrong

Right and Wrong Some things are morally wrong (lying, murder, theft, adultery, etc.) Some things are morally right Some things are morally right, but at the same time religiously wrong

Old Testament Examples Eating fruit (Gen. 3:1-21) Burning fire (Lev. 10:1-2) Gathering sticks (Num. 15:32-36) Burning incense (2 Chron. 26:16-18)

New Testament Examples Calling a man “Father” (Mt. 23:9-10) Circumcision (Acts 15:1-5; Gal. 2:3-5; 5:2-4) Days & food (Col. 2:16-23) Eating a common meal (1 Cor. 11:22,34)

Examples Today Sprinkling water (Acts 8:38; Rom. 6:4) Instrumental music, solos & choirs (Eph. 5:19; Col. 3:16) Bread and water (Lk. 22;18-19) Bake sale, auction (1 Cor. 16:1-2) Hierarchal organization (Acts 20:28; 1 Pet. 5:2)

Examples Today And Such Like… Candles, incense, water, robes Ball teams, gyms, entertainment

Lessons Learned Something may be “legal” (by man’s law), but not lawful (by God’s law) Something may be morally right, but religiously wrong For something to be religiously right, it must first be authorized by God in the NT (Col. 3:17) Misunderstanding this leads to many unscriptural religious practices condemned by God
