The Necessity of Sin

From Phillip Jensen:

“As we come to Genesis 3, we come to one of the most distinctive and controversial teachings of the Bible: namely, sin.

It is surprising how deeply our society misunderstands and/or rejects the doctrine of sin. Surprising because we see sin all around us.

I would like to say I hope you enjoy this episode, but the necessity of sin is not enjoyable, even though the Bible speaks of its fleeting pleasures.”

– In this week’s discussion, Phillip and Peter turn to Genesis 3:1-7.
