Bible Questions Answered:
“...so God hates sin...”
Branden/ Chicago, Illinois U.S.A.

Bible Answer:

God, hates all sin, because it leads to one's destruction.

Psalm 5:5 KJV
The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.

Psalm 45:7 KJV
Thou lovest righteousness, and hatest wickedness..."

Ezekiel 18:4 KJV
Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

But in Proverbs 6, our God, lists seven sins that really stand out.

Bible Texts:
Proverbs 6;16-19 NLT
18 There are six things The Lord hates- no, seven things He detests:
17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, hands that kill the innocent.
18 A heart that plots evil, feet that race to do wrong,
19 A false witness who pours out lies, a person who sows discord among brothers.

  1. Haughty Eyes:
Proverbs 16:18 KJV
Pride goeth before destruction, and an haughty spirit before a fall.

Isaiah 13:11 KJV
And I will punish the world for their evil, and the wicked for their iniquity; and I will cause the arrogancy of the proud to cease, and will lay low the haughtiness of the terrible.

Isaiah 28:1 KJV
Woe to the crown of pride...whose glorious beauty is a fading flower.

Daniel 5:18,20,21 KJV
The Most High God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom...But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: and he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts...till he knew that The Most High God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that He appointeth over it whomsoever He will.

Obadiah 1:4 KJV
Though thou exalt thyself as the eagle, and though thou set thy nest among the stars, thence will I bring thee down.

  1. A Lying Tongue:
Psalm 31:18 KJV
Let the lying lips be put to silence..."

Psalm 120:2 KJV
Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips, and from a deceitful tongue.

Proverbs 12:22 KJV
Lying lips are abomination to The Lord: but they that deal truly are His delight.

Proverbs 13:5 KJV
A righteous man hateth lying: but a wicked man is loathsome, and cometh to shame.

Ephesians 4:25 KJV
Wherefore putting away lying, speak every man truth with his neighbor: for we are members one of another.

  1. Hands That Kill The Innocent.
Exodus 23:7 KJV
Keep thee far from a false matter; and the innocent and righteous slay thou not: for I will not justify the wicked.

Exodus 20:13 KJV
Thou shalt not kill.

Deuteronomy 27:25 KJV
Cursed be he that taketh reward to slay an innocent person. And all the people shall say, Amen.

I John 3:15 KJV
Whosoever hateth his brother is a murderer: and ye know that no murderer hath eternal life abiding in him.

    4) A Heart That Plots Evil.

Psalm 34:16 KJV
The face of The Lord is against them that do evil, to cut off the remembrance of them from the earth.

Micah 2:1 KJV
Woe to them that devise iniquity, and work evil upon their beds! When the morning is light, the practice it, because it is in the power of their hand.

Romans 2:9 KJV
Tribulation and anguish, upon every soul of man that doeth evil, of the Jew first, and also of the Gentile;

Romans 6:23 KJV
For the wages of sin is death; but The Gift Of God is eternal Life through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Romans 13:1-4 KJV
1 Let every soul be subject unto the highers powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God.
2 Whosoever therefore resisteth the power, resisteth the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.
3 For rulers are not a terror to good works, but to the evil. Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? Do that which is good, and thou shalt have praise of the same:
4 For he is the minister of God to thee for good. But if thou do that which is evil, be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to execute wrath upon him that doeth evil.

I Corinthians 10:21 KJV
Ye cannot drink the cup of The Lord, and the cup of devils: ye cannot be partakers of The Lord's table, and of the table of devils.

Galatians 6:7,8 KJV
7 Be not deceived; God is not mocked: for whatsoever a man soweth, that shall he also reap.
8 For he that soweth to his flesh shall of the flesh reap corruption; but he that soweth
to The Spirit shall of The Spirit reap life everlasting.

I Peter 2:13,14 KJV
13 Submit yourselves to every ordinance of man for The Lord's sake: whether it be to the king, as supreme;
14 Or unto governors, as unto them that are sent by him for the punishment of evildoers, and for the praise of them that do well.

    5) Feet That Race To Do Wrong:

Proverb 1:16 KJV
for their feet run to evil, and make haste to shed blood.

Proverbs 6:18 KJV
An heart that deviseth wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief,

Isaiah 59:7 KJV
Their feet run to evil, and they make haste to shed innocent blood: their thoughts are thoughts of iniquity; wasting and destruction are in their paths.

Romans 3:15-18 KJV
15 Their feet are swift to shed blood:
16 Destruction and misery are in their ways;
17 And the way of peace have they not known.
18 There is not fear of God before their eyes.

    6) A False Witness:

Exodus 20:16 KJV
Thou shalt not bear false witness against thy neighbor.

Leviticus 19:12 KV
And ye shall not swear by My name falsely, neither shalt thou profane the name of thy God: I am The Lord.

Proverbs 19:5 KJV
A false witness shall not be unpunished, and he that speaketh lies shall not escape.

Proverbs 21:28 KJV
A false witness shall perish...”

Matthew 15:19 KJV
For out of the heart proceed evil thoughts, murders, adulteries, fornications, thefts, false witness, blasphemies:

Matthew 26:59-61 KJV
59 Now the chief priests, and elders, and all the council, sought false witness against Jesus, to put Him to death;
60 But found none: yes, though many false witnesses came, yet found they none. At the last came two false witnesses,
61 And said, this fellow said, Ia am able to destroy the temple of God, and to build it it in three days.

  1. A Person Who Sows Discord Among Brothers:

Proverbs 16:28 KJV
A froward man soweth strife: and a whisperer separateth chief friends.

Matthew 5:9 KJV
Blessed are the peacemakers: for they shall be called the children of God.

Matthew 18:15-17 KJV
15 Moreover if thy brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, tho has gained thy brother.
16 But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, that in the mouth of two or three witnesses every word may be established.
17 And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the church: but if he neglect to hear the church, let him be unto thee as an heathen man and a publican.

Romans 16:17,18 KJV
17 Now I beseech you, brethren, mark them which cause divisions and offenses contrary to the doctrine which ye have learned; and a void them.
18 For they that are such serve not our Lord Jesus Christ, but their own belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.

Galatians 5:19-21 NLT
19 When you follow the desires of your sinful nature, our lives will produce these evil results: sexual immorality, Impure thoughts, eagerness for lustful pleasure,
20 idolatry, participation in demonic activities, hostility, quarreling, jealousy, outbursts of anger selfish ambition, divisions, the feeling that everyone is wrong except those in your own little group,
21 envy drunkenness, wild parties, and other kinds of sin. Let me tell you again, as I have before, that anyone living that sort of life will not inherit the Kingdom of God.

Titus 3:1,2,9-11 KJV
1 Put them in mind to be subject to principalities ad powers, to obey magistrates, to be ready to every good work,
2 to speak evil of no man, to be no brawlers, but gentle, shewing all meekness unto all men.
9 But avoid foolish questions, and genealogies, and contentions, and strivings about the law; for they are unprofitable and vain.
10 A man that is an heretick after the first and second admonition reject;
11 Knowing that he that is such is subverted, and sinneth, being condemned of himself.

James 4:11 KJV
Speak not evil one of another, brethren. He that speaketh evil of his brother, and judgeth his brother, speaketh evil of the law, and judgeth the law: but if thou judge the law, thou art not a doer of the law, but a judge.

Prayer:

Psalm 19:14 KJV
Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O Lord, my strength, and my redeemer.

Biblical Examples:

Genesis 49:5-6 KJV
5 Simeon and Levi are brethren; instruments of cruelty are in their habitations.

Exodus 32:9 KJV
And The Lord said unto Moses, I have seen this people, and, behold, it is a stiff necked people:

42 Go not up, for The Lord is not among you; that ye be not smitten before your enemies.
43 For the Amalekites and the Canaanites are there before you, and ye shall fall by the sword: because ye are turned away from The Lord, therefore The Lord will not be with you.
44 But they presumed to go up unto the hill top: nevertheless the ark of the covenant of The Lord, and Moses, departed not out of the camp.

22 And Samuel said, Hath The Lord as great delight in burnt offerings and sacrifices, as in obeying the voice of The Lord? Behold, to obey is better than sacrifice, and to hearken than the fat of rams.

6 Thou hast heard, see all this; and will not ye declare it? I have shewed thee new things from this time, even hidden things, and thou didst not know them.

38 But Paul thought not good to take him with them, who departed from them from Pamphylia, and went not with them to the work.
39 And the contention was so sharp between them, that they departed asunder one from the other: and so Barnabas took Mark, and sailed unto Cyprus;
40 And Paul chose Silas, and departed, being recommended by the brethren unto the grace of God.

Hebrews 3:7-12 KJV
7 Wherefore (as The Holy Ghost saith, To day if ye will hear His voice,

Bible Lesson: Scriptures For Special Occasions: When Faced With Worry.

Bible Text:
Jesus told those filled with anxiety...

Matthew 6:28-34 KJV
25 Therefore I say unto you, Take no thought for your life, what ye shall eat, or what ye shall drink; nor yet for your body, what ye shall put on. Is not the life more than meat, and the body than raiment?
26 Behold the fowls of the air: for they sow not, neither do they reap, nor gather into barns; yet your Heavenly Father feedeth them. Are ye not much better than they?
27 Which of you by taking thought can add one cubit unto his stature?
28 And why take ye thought for raiment? Consider the lilies of the field, how they grow; they toil not, neither do they spin:
29 And yet I say unto you, That even Solomon in all his glory was not arrayed like one of these.
30 Wherefore, if God so clothe the grass of the field, which to day is, and to morrow is cast into the oven, shall He not much more clothe you, O ye of little faith?
31 Therefore take no thought, saying, What shall we eat? or, What shall we drink? or, Wherewithal shall we be clothed?
32 "...for your Heavenly Father knoweth that ye have need of all these things.
33 But seek ye first the kingdom of God, and His righteousness; and all these things shall be added unto you.
34 Take therefore no thought for the morrow: for the morrow shall take thought for the things of itself. Sufficient unto the day is the evil thereof.

II Timothy 1:7 KJV
For God hath not given us the spirit of fear; but of power, and of love, and of a sound mind.

I John 4:18 KJV
There is no fear in love; but perfect love casteth out fear: because fear hath torment. He that feareth is not made perfect in love.

Worries And The Lord's Promises:

Psalm 23:4 KJV
Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.

Psalm 39:4-7 NLT
4 “Lord, remind me how brief my time on earth will be. Remind me that my days are numbered— how fleeting my life is.
5 You have made my life no longer than the width of my hand. My entire lifetime is just a moment to you; at best, each of us is but a breath.”
Interlude
6 We are merely moving shadows, and all our busy rushing ends in nothing. We heap up wealth, not knowing who will spend it.
7 And so, Lord, where do I put my hope? My only hope is in you.

Psalm 55:22 KJV
Cast thy burden upon The Lord, and He shall sustain thee: He shall never suffer the righteous to be moved.

Psalm 56:3 KJV (D.L.Moody's favorite Bible verse.)
What time I am afraid, I will trust in thee.

Psalm 121:1-8 NLT (A song for pilgrims ascending to Jerusalem.)
1 I look up to the mountains— does my help come from there?
2 My help comes from The Lord, who made heaven and earth!
3 He will not let you stumble; the one who watches over you will not slumber.
4 Indeed, He who watches over Israel never slumbers or sleeps.
5 The Lord Himself watches over you! The Lord stands beside you as your protective shade.
6 The sun will not harm you by day, nor the moon at night.
7 The Lord keeps you from all harm and watches over your life.
8 The Lord keeps watch over you as you come and go, both now and forever.

Proverbs 12:25 NLT
Worry weighs a person down; an encouraging word cheers a person up.

Psalm 127:2 NLT
It is useless for you to work so hard from early morning until late at night, anxiously working for food to eat; for God gives rest to His loved ones.

Ecclesiastes 8:16,17 NLT
16 In my search for wisdom and in my observation of people’s burdens here on earth, I discovered that there is ceaseless activity, day and night.
17 I realized that no one can discover everything God is doing under the sun. Not even the wisest people discover everything, no matter what they claim.

Isaiah 43:1-3 KJV
1 But now thus saith The Lord that created thee, O Jacob, and He that formed thee, O Israel, Fear not: for I have redeemed thee, I have called thee by thy name; thou art Mine.
2 When thou passest through the waters, I will be with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.
3 For I am The Lord thy God, The Holy One Of Israel, thy Savior..."

Matthew 13:7,22 NLT
7 Other seeds fell among thorns that grew up and choked out the tender plants.
22 The seed that fell among the thorns represents those who hear God’s Word, but all too quickly the message is crowded out by the worries of this life and the lure of wealth, so no fruit is produced.

Luke 10:38-42 NLT (Jesus Visits Martha and Mary)
38 As Jesus and the disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a certain village where a woman named Martha welcomed Him into her home.
39 Her sister, Mary, sat at The Lord’s feet, listening to what He taught.
40 But Martha was distracted by the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, “Lord, doesn’t it seem unfair to you that my sister just sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me.”
41 But The Lord said to her, “My dear Martha, you are worried and upset over all these details!
42 There is only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it, and it will not be taken away from her.”

John 14:27 KJV
Peace I leave with you, My peace I give unto you: not as the world giveth, give I unto you. Let not your heart be troubled, neither let it be afraid.

Romans 8:31 KJV
What shall we then say to these things? If God be for us, who can be against us?

Colossians 3:15 KJV
And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful.

II Thessalonians 3:16 KJV
Now The Lord of peace Himself give you peace always by all means..."

Hebrews 13:6 KJV
So that we may boldly say, The Lord is my helper, and I will not fear what man shall do unto me.

God's Word tells us...

Philippians 4:6,7 NLT
6 Don’t worry about anything; instead, pray about everything. Tell God what you need, and thank Him for all He has done.
7 Then you will experience God’s peace, which exceeds anything we can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds as you live in Christ Jesus.

I Peter 5:7 NLT
Give all your worries and cares to God, for He cares about you.

Matthew 11:28-30 KJV
28 Come unto Me, all ye that labor and are heavy laden, and I will give you rest.
29 Take my yoke upon you, and learn of Me; for I am meek and lowly in heart: and ye shall find rest unto your souls.
30 For My yoke is easy, and My burden is light.

Burdens Are Lifted At Calvary

Days are filled with sorrow and care
Hearts are lonely and drear
Burdens are Lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near

Chorus

Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Calvary, Calvary
Burdens are lifted at Calvary
Jesus is very near

Cast your care on Jesus today
Leave your worry and fear
Burdens Are Lifted At Calvary
Jesus is very near

Troubled soul, the Savior can see
Every heartache and tear
Burdens Are Lifted At Calvary
Jesus is very near

Bible Questions Answered:
“A guy I work with says that the church I am going to is a false religion. I thought a church is a church. They all seem real friendly and talk about God...”

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:

Matthew 7:15 KJV
Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves.

Our Lord warned time and time again against false teachers. Some today will tell you “Yes, we believe in Jesus Christ!” But that is not all, if you were to ask and who is He, they would respond, “why he is the brother to Lucifer,” and they believe in many gods.

One of the first marks of a false church is what they believe about Jesus Christ.
  1. Is He The Eternal Son of an Eternal Father?
  2. Did He come in the flesh?
  3. Was He virgin born?
  4. Did He die on a cross?
  5. Does His blood, atone for the sins of all those who claim Him as Savior?
  6. Did He rise from the dead, on the third day?
  7. Was He seen after His death?
If they don't believe these things, run, don't walk out of this place.

II John 1:7 KJV
For many deceivers are entered into the world, who confess not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh. this is a deceiver and an Antichrist.

I Corinthians 15:1-8 KJV
1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you The Gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand;
2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain.
3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to The Scriptures;
4 And that He was buried, and that He rose again the third day according to The Scriptures:
5 And that He was seen of Cephas, then of the twelve:
6 After that, He was seen of above five hundred brethren at once; of whom the greater part remain unto this present, but some are fallen asleep.
7 After that, He was seen of James; then of all the apostles.
8 And last of all He was seen of me also, as of one born out of due time.

False Teachings:

Some today, add or take away from The Word, due to a vision or revelations they or others have had.
But here is what The Word Of God, has to say concerning such actions.

And I know that whatever God does is final. Nothing can be added to it or taken from it. God's purpose in this is that people should fear Him.

Galatians 1:8,9 KJV
8 But though we, or an angel from heaven, preach any other Gospel unto you than that which we have preached unto you, let him be accursed.
9 As we said before, so say I now again, If any man preach any other Gospel unto you than that ye have received, let him be accursed.

Revelation 22:18,19 KJV
18 For I testify unto every man that heareth the words of the prophecy of this book. If any man shall add unto these things, God shall add unto him the plagues that are written in this book:
19 And if any man shall take away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part out of the book of Life, and out of the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.

If you are a new Christian, and you want to know if your church or group, is teaching The Word Of God, read it yourself!

With the King James Bible, start with the New Testament gospel of John, a chapter a day, while reading a Psalm (from the Old Testament) a day, as well.

Prayer:

II Peter 3:17 KJV
Ye therefore, beloved, seeing ye know these things before, beware lest ye also, being led away with the error of the wicked, fall from your own steadfastness.
18 But grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. To Him be glory both now and for ever. Amen.

Bible Questions Answered:
“I don't know pastor, I see a lot of good in the world. Even people who would never be Christians are doing good, so it's inspiring...”
Arnold/ Chicago, Illinois U.S.A.

Bible Answer:

Bible Texts:
Morality, comes from The Lord, there is no morality outside of The Living God! God and morality, are inseparable.

God gave Israel the Ten Commandments, a code of morality, not that all morality is in the negative, for it is not. Love, and care of one's neighbor etc. etc. was spoken of by our Lord. And then there are the fruits of The Spirit.

Worldly so called good works, are stately houses of splendor, as so it would seem, but WATCH OUT!

Matthew 7:24-29 KJV
24 Therefore whosoever heareth these saying of Mine, and doeth them, I will liken him unto a wise man, which built his house upon A Rock.
25 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell not: for it was founded upon A Rock.
26 And every one that heareth these sayings of Mine, and doeth them not, shall be likened unto a foolish man, which built his house upon the sand:
27 And the rain descended, and the floods came, and the winds blew, and beat upon that house; and it fell: and great was the fall of it.
28 And it came to pass, when Jesus had ended these sayings, the people were astonished at His doctrine:
29 For He taught them as one having authority, and not as the scribes.

How splendid many a house looks today, with their earthy high arches, balconies, gables and all, and yet, our Savior, warns, when the time of testing comes, The Truth will be known!

A garden of serpentine guidance, will be revealed to be, only cunning and blatant evil. With sinister plans of the evil one, only in mind.

Rains, winds and floods will prove, to towering edifices of beauty, there will remain nothing but rubble, when tested. Then only. too late, for some, will the real Truth, be known.

There is no goodness outside of The Living God.

Matthew 7:21-23 KJV
21 Not every one that saith unto Me, Lord, Lord (Good Works), shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of My Father which is in heaven.
22 Many will say to Me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name (Good Works)? and in thy name have cast out devils (Good Works)? and in thy name done many wonderful works (Good Works) ?
23 And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from Me, ye that work iniquity.

I never knew you” No personal relationship with The Savior, Jesus Christ.

Ephesians 2:8,9 KJV
8 For by grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves (Works): it is The Gift Of God:
9 Not of works, lest any man should boast.

Titus 3:5,6 KJV
5 Not by works of righteousness which we have done, but according to His mercy He saved us, by the washing of regeneration, and renewing of The Holy Ghost;
6 Which He shed on us abundantly through Jesus Christ our Savior;

Many today are under the assumption, that their Good Works, will save them, but sadly, thee answer is that they have built their eternal destiny upon the shifting sands of deception.

Hebrews 9:27 KJV
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:

Ezekiel 18:4 KJV
Behold, all souls are Mine; as the soul of the father, so also the soul of the son is Mine: the soul that sinneth, it shall die.

And why, oh why have they been so sentenced to eternal judgment? They have been because of one thing and one thing only, they were “never willing,” to bow the knee in repentance to The Lord Jesus, Christ, confessing and forsaking their sins, while taking Jesus as Lord and Master, of their lives.

Proverbs 16:25 KJV
There is a way that seemeth right unto a man, but the end thereof are the ways of death.

Jeremiah 17:9 KJV
The heart is deceitful above all things, and desperately wicked: who can know it?

Prayer:

Jeremiah 17:7 KJV
Blessed is the man that trusteth in The Lord, and whose hope The Lord is.

Bible Lesson: Scriptures For Special Occasions: When Wisdom Is Needed.

Bible Text:

James 1:5,17 KJV
5 If any of you lack wisdom, let him ask of God, that giveth to all men liberally, and upbraideth not; and it shall be given him.
17 Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from The Father Of Lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.

What person, does not need more wisdom? Life demands that we “know.” Our Lord has promised His children wisdom, and that He gives liberally.

Wisdom:

Psalm 51:6 KJV
Behold, thou desirest truth in the inward parts: and in the hidden part thou shalt make me to know wisdom.

Psalm 90:12 KJV
So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts unto wisdom.

Psalm 111:10 KJV
The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom: a good understanding have all they that do His commandments: His praise endureth for ever.

Proverbs 2:6 KJV
For The Lord giveth wisdom: out of His mouth cometh knowledge and unnderstanding.

Proverbs 9:10 KJV
The fear of The Lord is the beginning of wisdom; and the knowledge of the holy is understanding.

Ecclesiastes 7:12 KJV
For Wisdom is a defense, but the excellency of knowledge is that wisdom giveth life to them that have it.

Daniel 2:21 KJV
"...He giveth wisdom unto the wise, and knowledge to them that know understanding:

I Corinthians 12:8 KJV
For to one is given by The Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit;

Prayer:

James 1:17 KJV
Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from The Father Of Lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
