Oh, dearie, dearie, me.
Poor, poor, Yadda.
Remember Matthew 7:5?
Applies very much to you and Christianity in general. Tsk, tsk.
Amos 5:10
They hate him that rebuketh in the gate, and they abhor him that speaketh uprightly.
@ Reply #9 and Reply #11,
FROM SCRIPTURE.....When the wicked give 'mercy' to the wicked [to those who are oppressors],
that does not satisfy God's desire for
justice and judgment.
RESPONSE......Isaiah 59:15
Yea, truth faileth; and he that departeth from evil maketh himself a prey: and the LORD saw it, and it displeased him that there was no judgment.
Amos 5:14
Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken.
15
Hate the evil, and love the good, and establish judgment in the gate:.....
Amos 5:23
Take thou away from me the noise of thy songs; for I will not hear the melody of thy viols.
24 But let judgment run down as waters, and righteousness as a mighty stream.
Zephaniah 2:3
Seek ye the LORD, all ye meek of the earth,
which have wrought his judgment; seek righteousness, seek meekness: it may be ye shall be hid in the day of the LORD'S anger.
Psalms 4:5
Offer the sacrifices of righteousness, and put your trust in the LORD.
Proverbs 14:34
Righteousness exalteth a nation: but sin is a reproach to any people.
Jeremiah 17:7
Blessed is the man that trusteth in the LORD, and whose hope the LORD is.
Romans 9:18
Therefore hath he mercy on whom he will have mercy, and whom he will he hardeneth.
.
Psalms 89:11
The heavens are thine, the earth also is thine: as for the world and the fulness thereof, thou hast founded them.
12 The north and the south thou hast created them: Tabor and Hermon shall rejoice in thy name.
13 Thou hast a mighty arm: strong is thy hand, and high is thy right hand.
14 Justice and judgment are the habitation of thy throne: mercy and truth shall go before thy face.
'mercy and truth' ....together ?Proverbs 17:15
He that justifieth the wicked, and he that condemneth the just, even they both are abomination to the LORD.
