seven things God hates





The seven things God hates are a catalog of sins summed up in Proverbs 6:16–19. While these aren’t the only sins that should be avoided, they do sum up most of the wicked things condemned by God. The seven things God hates are the sins that deal with the deep heart motives of the individual. The writer of Proverbs points the finger straight at our hearts and our sinful thought processes.







This is in line with our Lord Jesus Christ’s elaboration of the Ten Commandments during His Sermon on the Mount (Matthew 5:21–48). Sin is committed the moment it is conceived in the heart, even before it is actually committed. Avoiding the seven things God hates will help us expose our hidden intentions and motives.



The following is Proverbs’ list of seven things God hates:



Arrogant (haughty) eyes: This describes a feeling of pride and looking down upon others (Philippians 2:3, 5–11). When we begin to think of ourselves more highly and with unparalleled importance, we are forgetting the fact that anything good in us is the result of Christ living in us and that the old self is now dead (Galatians 2:20). Often, believers feel superior to other believers when they receive godly wisdom and display amazing tenacity against sin. We fail to realize these gifts were given by God through Christ and fanned into flame by the Holy Spirit and are not due to our own goodness. This sin of pride is so detested by the LORD that Paul was kept from committing this sin by being provided with “a thorn in the flesh” to humble him (2 Corinthians 12:7).



Lying tongue: A lying tongue is one that speaks falsehood, knowingly and willingly, with an intention to deceive others. Lying can be used to impugn the character of a brother or to flatter a friend. It is a most detestable evil to God, who is a God of truth. Nothing we do causes us to more closely resemble the devil, who is the father of lies (John 8:44).



Hands that shed innocent blood: This refers to cold-blooded murder. We may never have orchestrated killing someone or never have touched a gun or knife, but in Matthew 5:21–24, Jesus says that anyone who is angry with someone else unreasonably without offering room for forgiveness commits a sin equivalent to murder. John reiterates this concept in 1 John 3:15.



A heart that devises wicked schemes: This encompasses thinking or conceiving evil against any individual or group for personal benefit or other misguided objectives, like modern-day terrorists indulge in. Any sin is basically a wicked scheme. David’s sin against Uriah the Hittite and Bathsheba comes to mind (2 Samuel 11). The heart of an evil man continually contrives schemes to bring others to ruin, whether physically or spiritually.



Feet that are quick to rush into evil: Those whose feet are quick to rush into evil display no resistance whatsoever to sin. Having many examples in the Bible, and having the indwelling of the Holy Spirit (Ephesians 4:30; Galatians 5:16), we are expected to be wise in this regard (Romans 6:11–14; Ephesians 5:5, 11). In the Garden of Eden, Eve had the first experience of temptation. She displayed no resistance to the serpent’s temptation. Instead, as soon as the devil attracted her to the fruit, she “saw that the tree was good for food and pleasing to the eye” (Genesis 3:6). Eve had sinned at that moment itself. Contrast this with the attitude of Jesus: when tired and hungry after forty days and forty nights of fasting, He refused to yield to the devil’s tempting and killed the temptation in His mind without allowing it to grow into sin (Matthew 4:1–11). “Resist the devil and he will flee from you” (James 4:7).



False witness who pours out lies: This is similar to the sin of the lying tongue mentioned earlier, but this form of lying is given special mention as it could send an innocent person to jail or even lead to him being stoned to death as happened to Naboth, thanks to false witnesses instigated by the wicked Jezebel (1 Kings 21:8–14). The prohibition against bearing false witness is the ninth of the Ten Commandments, and the New Testament is equally condemning of it. Colossians 3:9–10 explains the reason for the continued prohibition against lying. Christians are new creations in Christ (2 Corinthians 5:17), and, as such, we reflect His nature. We have been released from our “old self” with its evil practices such as lying and bearing false witness.



A man who stirs up dissension among brothers: Brothers are created by God to live in unity (Psalm 133:1; 1 Thessalonians 4:9). Believers are brothers and sisters since they have one Father God and one Brother, Jesus Christ. The Church is also the Bride of Christ (Ephesians 5:25–27). In many situations strife among brothers and even within the church seems unavoidable, but anyone who purposely causes disruption to peace in the body of Christ will displease God above all, since that person gives room for others to sin and for himself to sin further (1 John 2:9–11; 4:19–21). Moreover, Jesus pronounced a great blessing on peacemakers, the privilege to be called “sons of God” (Matthew 5:9).

God hates the sin in people, but not the people by himself.

Well at least littledavid you finally got it figured out (or did you? ) that the 'punishment' come judgment day is 'eternal' said in the verse you are paraphrasing and the end result is 'hell' the

final grave site of those continual sinners in the lake of fire made one day says the Bible! Right? There is no resurrection from that final 'eternal punishment' of death to continual sinners in the lake of fire made one day, is there? Is 'hell' of the grave site finally done away with by that 'eternal punishment' of death, when the Bible says there will be no more death come the New Earth made upon the old that is destroyed? It sure does say that both 'death' and 'hell' which is the graves will be thrown in that one day made lake of fire in below verse, right littledavid and Pipiripi?



Revelation 20:14 - 'And death and hell were cast into the lake of fire. This is the second death.'



And what of this 'LOVE' you speak of littledavid, is it 'love' or 'hate' when YHWH judges the disobedient continual sinners that keep breaking His Torah Law? And come judgment day when YHWH starts that fire raining down on them (its actual location found in Rev.20:9,10 outside the beloved city that came down from heaven with the sinless saints in it!) and they are eventually brought to ashes (says the PROPHET in Malachi 4:1 and 3!) after they pay for their own sins unto DEATH, to do a justice for them and put them out of their own misery of continually sinning by His 'love' or 'hate' ??? I think you miss the point of the 'eternal punishment' of the wicked because YHWH 'hates' sin, the breaking of his Holy Torah Law and because of those continual sinners His righteous judgment must end their lives in the one day made lake of fire! Right?



Please note friends, there is NOBODY burning today because obviously that lake of fire has not been made yet because the Heavenly City is NOT on the earth yet, i.e. Revelation 20:9,10!!!



So friends what is 'eternal' but judgment day and death of the wicked when it takes place, right? And what is the 'punishment' come judgment day, FIRE unto ashes! See Malachi 4:1 and 3 that prophesies of that coming judgment event!

Well, lookie here—-the TeddyBug dishes out more of his ignorance and lying false teachings

But why are false teachers, like the TeddyBug, sooooo afraid of the torments of an eternal hell fire⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

Could it possibly be that false teachers fear the eternal torments of an everlasting hellfire because they know their own teachings are false and as a consequence of conscience, they fear the coming judgments against them⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️⁉️

So instead of repenting of their false teachings and self-righteousness (the TeddyBug thinks he’s sinless and perfect because he falsely believes Jesus has made the TeddyBug’s old sin nature perfect).

So instead of repenting of his own lying self-righteousness, the TeddyBug just doubles down and denies the reality of hell.

He seems to hope, that if by chance, he misses heaven, at least he will go painlessly into nonexistence‼️‼️‼️‼️

TEDDYBUG PLEASE REPENT, don’t take a chance ending up in the eternal hell fire you’ve worked so hard to deny‼️‼️‼️

Various theories on the location of hell have been put forward. A traditional view is that hell is in the center of the earth. Others propose that hell is located in outer space in a black hole. In the Old Testament, the word translated “hell” is Sheol; in the New Testament, it’s Hades (meaning “unseen”) and Gehenna (“the Valley of Hinnom”). Sheol is also translated as “pit” and “grave.” Both Sheol and Hades refer to a temporary abode of the dead before judgment (Psalm 9:17; Revelation 1:18). Gehenna refers to an eternal state of punishment for the wicked dead (Mark 9:43).



The idea that hell is below us, perhaps in the center of the earth, comes from passages such as Luke 10:15: “And thou, Capernaum, which art exalted to heaven, shalt be thrust down to hell” (KJV). Also, in 1 Samuel 28:13-15, the medium of Endor sees the spirit of Samuel “coming up out of the ground.” We should note, however, that neither of these passages is concerned with the geographic location of hell. Capernaum’s being thrust “down” is probably a reference to their being condemned rather than a physical direction. And the medium’s vision of Samuel was just that: a vision.



In the King James Version, Ephesians 4:9 says that before Jesus ascended into heaven, “he also descended . . . into the lower parts of the earth.” Some Christians take “the lower parts of the earth” as a reference to hell, where they say Jesus spent the time between His death and resurrection. However, the New International Version gives a better translation: “he also descended to the lower, earthly regions.” This verse simply says that Jesus came to earth. It’s a reference to His incarnation, not to His location after death.



The notion that hell is somewhere in outer space, possibly in a black hole, is based on the knowledge that black holes are places of great heat and pressure from which nothing, not even light, can escape. Surprisingly, this concept of hell is presented in the 1979 Walt Disney film The Black Hole. Near the movie’s end, all the characters pass through a black hole. On the other side, the villain finds himself in a fiery place of torment, while the other characters enjoy disembodied bliss. It’s interesting that a Disney movie would include a depiction of hell, but it’s best not to base our theology on movies!



Another speculation is that the earth itself will be the “lake of fire” spoken of in Revelation 20:10-15. When the earth is destroyed by fire (2 Peter 3:10; Revelation 21:1), the theory goes, God will use that burning sphere as the everlasting place of torment for the ungodly. Again, this is mere speculation.



To sum up, Scripture does not tell us the geological (or cosmological) location of hell. Hell is a literal place of real torment, but we do not know where it is. Hell may have a physical location in this universe, or it may be in an entirely different “dimension.” Whatever the case, the location of hell is far less important than the need to avoid going there.

Yes little boy! It isn't God that are sending you to hell, but your father Satan that you are worshipping him through your SUN-WORSHIP GOD TRINITY!! SATAN THE POPE AND YOU!! THAT IS THE REAL TRINITY.



My trinity is God the Father, Jesus Christ the Son, and their church!! They are the three in one that works together. Three in one means, we are equal in thinking and doing.



Go learn from the book of Acts little boy!!
