Doing Wrong Things

From The Dane:

Further, Piper is right when he says that to travel against oneís conscience is sin (essentially saying that to ignore that which your gut tells you is wrong is, in fact, wrong). This is proved by the example that if I believe dancing is wrong and yet I dance despite my belief, though dancing is indeed acceptable, I chose to do what I believed to be wrong. The fact of choosing wrong is in itself wrong (regardless of the overall moral import of dancing).

Matthew

"Piper is right when he says that to travel against one’s conscience is sin" - doesn't Paul say something almost identical? Isn't Paul slightly more authoratitive than Piper?

Or have I misinterpreted Corinthians again?

Sparticus

He's critiquing an article by Piper, so it makes sense in context. And surely if he said 'Paul is right' he'd be implying Paul could have written something wrong. For which we'd have to stone him. and you.
