There are Christians who would be willing to die for the doctrines of the inspiration and inerrancy of the Bible, but they are guilty of casuistry in their interpretation of the Bible. They twist and distort even the clear and straightforward Scriptures to make them fit what they want to believe and what they want to do. This would describe Christians who, for whatever reason, are not steadfast or firm in their faith and lifestyle. Let's briefly mention a few examples of the practice of casuistry today, or some typical ways in which Christians deliberately ignore the clarity of Scripture in order to satisfy their own ends. An example of the use of casuistry in the area of the lust of the flesh would be how the sin of fornication is condoned by some Christians.
Fornication is any practice of sex outside of marriage.
The Bible leaves no doubt as to the seriousness of this sin. But Christians who commit fornication attempt to get around the seriousness of this sin by using a number of casuistic rationalizations. These are just some of the casuistic attempts that Christians have been known to use to compromise the clear teaching of God's Word concerning the sin of fornication. But because the strong desire of human nature is to not suffer loss in any way, a number of specious justifications have been wrested from Scripture by Christians who bring lawsuits against fellow believers. Questioning the salvation of the other side is one casuistic attempt to take the situation out of the 1 Corinthians 6 context.
