Scott also sheds light on the concept of biblical shame, distinguishing it from mere embarrassment or self-deprecation. He discusses instances where biblical shame should be felt, such as when engaging in actions that go against Christian principles. He emphasizes that the origin of shame can be traced back to the entry of sin into the world through Adam, further exacerbated by Satan's accusations.
