2 | Should Christians get Insurance? | 1 Tim 5:8 | BradK | 157668 | ||
Hi jm, I'd place this under the admonition in 1 Tim. 5:8: "But if anyone does not provide for his own, and especially for those of his household, he has denied the faith and is worse than an unbeliever." No, I do not believe it a sin at all. I would call it providing for my household. As a licensed insurance professional for over 18 years, I'd be walking in major sin otherwise. God does ask that we trust Him and place our faith in Him. However, He also gave us a brain and He most certainly would have us use common sense:-) I think there is a direct application found in Proverbs 22:3: "The prudent sees the evil and hides himself, But the naive go on, and are punished for it." Lastly, there is no prohibition in scripture against insurance. I hope this helps, BradK |
