I've always held that the Bible is a unverversal instruction manual on living. But what if there are new things (which could be sins) that are not discussed in the Bible?

Homosexual acts are in the Bible but even the context of that sin is argued at length in this post-modern world.
How about abortion? Not sure if that's in the Bible.
Pornography? I think that's missing.
Gambling is missing, for 100% sure.
Are there any other things that are considered sins by the church but aren't actually in the Bible?

How about some issues that aren't sins but it would be good to have guidance about it? Like dating. Well, there is a whole book of the Bible about that, but just using it as an example. Is there anything else? Maybe something about the internet. Or job hunting. I don't know. That's why I'm asking all of you.

And I'm asking about specific examples. Gambling is absolutely NOT in the bible but many people call it a sin because of some roundabout "logical" thinking about mentions of easy money in scripture.
 
Condoms and pre-merital sex with them.
Anal sex = she's still intact = she's still a virgin, not discussed....

Porn. You don't lust (most of the time, for most people). You just jerk off (putting it bluntly) and that's that. Your not lusting your satisfying carnal desire and blowing some steam. Helping hide something that not every ones wants to see.
 
The Bible alone is not sufficient to answer the questions of today or tomorrow
One needs grace, reason, Apostolic Tradition(which is oral and can apply the Written Word which came from it) and an informed,repentant and Spirit-guided authoritative Church also.
 
Anything that comes between you and God is a sin. Sin draws us away from his righteousness.
 
Life Support issues are not in the Bible.
Many religious families are torn on this issue. We are to tend to the needs of our families and those we love. There is a gray area between saving a life, tending to needs, and extending ones life when it may not be what God intended.
It is a very difficult area to apply one uniform application of Law as it were. Some say life support should not even be temporarily used to assist someone in their medical care. Others use it because they don't want to let a love one go. They reasons are as various as the individuals and their situations.
 
The bible mention dimensions and technology. The bible also talks about money so gambling is included just not those words. Money in general is bad it was made to enslave people
 
Well actually Gambling is in the Bible. When it talks about casting lots, that is gambling. Also more indirectly Thous shall not covet, also would refer to gambling and so would the love of money is the root of all evil.

Pornography is also in there . If a man lusts in his heart it is adultery.

There is nothing "new" under the sun.
 
What does it say about when the little green men from Outer space come to meet out leader?
