Six Things the Lord Hates

Proverbs 6:16-19
"16 There are six things that the Lord hates,
Seven that are an abomination to Him:
17 Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,
18 A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that run rapidly to evil,
19 A false witness who declares lies,
And one who spreads strife among brothers."

God hates even just a proud look!!!! Haughty eyes, wow, things that are not actions but show up on our faces as reflections of our hearts.

He hates wicked plans, these are ideas in the head that have not yet been carried out, yes, even just desires to ruin others.
He hates those who lie even without actions, their words work ruin on the lives of others.

He hates gossip that causes problems between friends that would not otherwise be hurtful. Spinning a story to make someone seem like a bad person when they have done nothing worthy of discipline is the worst kind of covert hatred.

And, finally, the feet that rush to do evil things to cause discord and trouble out of jealousy or contempt.

God hates all these things!!!!

Proverbs 6:20 "My son, comply with the commandment of your father, And do not ignore the [c]teaching of your mother;"

The mother's teachings are as important as the father's and each one should support the other. I know it because God said it!

Another Tradition Exposed

Another untrue tradition we were raised with was that God changed Saul's name to Paul.

"But Saul, who is also called Paul, filled with the Holy Spirit, looked intently at him."

Acts 13:9

Saul was the Greek name and Paul was His Latin name. His name was not changed it was just transliterated into a different language.

It may not seem like an important matter but if we care about truth and the significance of it we will want to know the smallest matters. Many misconceptions arise when we do not know the truth.

Keep seeking truth it is very interesting when we realize how many things we were taught that had no basis in fact. Learning the truth is a wonderful thing.
