The Church is also criticized
for teaching sin by lists. But
again it is from the Bible
itself that the Church takes the lead
in teaching the word of God
about those behaviors which are sin.
Mark 7:20-23
(Jesus said) "But what comes out of a person, that
is
what defiles. From within people, from their hearts,
come evil thoughts, unchastity, theft, murder, adultery,
greed, malice, deceit, licentiousness, envy, blasphemy,
arrogance, folly. All these evils come from within and
they defile."
