Loving Evil More Than Good by akon4u: 7:30pm On Aug 23, 2012
"Do not be conformed to
this world.... Abhor what is
evil. Cling to what is
good ." Romans 12:2, 9
"You love evil more than
good...." Psalm 52:3
"Woe to those who call
evil good, and good evil;
Who put darkness for light,
and light for darkness....
Woe to those who are wise
in their own eyes,
And prudent in their own
sight!" Isaiah 5:20-21
"...you have polluted the
land with your harlotries
and your wickedness .
Therefore the showers
have been withheld, and
there has been no latter
rain.
You have had a harlot’s
forehead; You refuse to be
ashamed." Isaiah 3:2-3
"How long, O you sons of
men, will you turn my
glory to shame?
How long will you love
worthlessness and seek
falsehood?" Psalm 4:2-3
"All those who hate me
love death.” Proverb 8:36
"Do not love the world or
the things in the world. If
anyone loves the world, the
love of the Father is not in
him. For all that is in the
world— the lust of the
flesh, the lust of the eyes,
and the pride of life—is not
of the Father but is of the
world. And the world is
passing away, and the lust
of it; but he who does the
will of God abides forever."
1 John 2:15-17
"Flee also youthful lusts;
but pursue righteousness,
faith, love, peace with those
who call on the Lord out of
a pure heart. " 2 Timothy
2:22-23
"He who walks righteously
and speaks uprightly,
He who despises the gain
of oppressions,
Who gestures with his
hands, refusing bribes,
Who stops his ears from
hearing of bloodshed,
And shuts his eyes from
seeing evil:
He will dwell on high;
His place of defense will be
the fortress of rocks...."
Isaiah 33:15
"The coming of the lawless
one is according to the
working of Satan, with all
power, signs, and lying
wonders, and with all
unrighteous deception
among those who perish,
because they did not
receive the love of the
truth , that they might be
saved. And for this reason
God will send them strong
delusion, that they should
believe the lie, that they all
may be condemned who
did not believe the truth
but had pleasure in
unrighteousness." 2
Thessalonians 2:9-12
“Hear now, O heads of
Jacob, and you rulers of the
house of Israel:
Is it not for you to know
justice? You who hate
good and love evil..." Micah
3:1-2
“An astonishing and
horrible thing has been
committed in the land:
The prophets prophesy
falsely, and the priests rule
by their own power;
And My people love to
have it so. But what will
you do in the end?"
Jeremiah 5:30-31
“No one can serve two
masters; for either he will
hate the one and love the
other, or else he will be
loyal to the one and despise
the other. You cannot serve
God and mammon."
Matthew 6:24
“But I know you, that you
do not have the love of God
in you." John 5:42
"You ran well. Who
hindered you from obeying
the truth?" Galatians 5:6-7
"... who is he who will harm
you if you become
followers of what is good?
But even if you should
suffer for righteousness’
sake, you are blessed. And
do not be afraid of their
threats, nor be
troubled. But sanctify the
Lord God in your hearts,
and always be ready to
give a defense to everyone
who asks you a reason for
the hope that is in you,
with meekness and
fear; having a good
conscience, that when they
defame you as evildoers,
those who revile your
good conduct in Christ
may be ashamed." 1 Peter
3:13-16
“How long, you simple
ones, will you love
simplicity?
For scorners delight in their
scorning, and fools hate
knowledge....
I have called and you
refused,
I have stretched out my
hand and no one regarded,
Because you disdained all
my counsel, and would
have none of my rebuke,
I also will laugh at your
calamity; I will mock when
your terror comes,
When your terror comes
like a storm, and your
destruction comes like a
whirlwind,
When distress and anguish
come upon you.
Then they will call on me,
but I will not answer;
They will seek me diligently,
but they will not find me.
Because they hated
knowledge and did not
choose the fear of the Lord,
They would have none of
my counsel and despised
my every rebuke.
Therefore they shall eat
the fruit of their own way,
And be filled to the full with
their own fancies." Proverb
1:8-31
"A scoffer does not love
one who corrects him..."
Proverb 15:12
“They love the best places
at feasts, the best seats in
the synagogues, greetings
in the marketplaces, and to
be called by men, ‘Rabbi,
Rabbi.’" Matthew 23:6-7
“Then many false
prophets will rise up and
deceive many. And because
lawlessness will abound,
the love of many will grow
cold. But he who endures
to the end shall be saved.
And this gospel of the
kingdom will be preached
in all the world as a witness
to all the nations, and then
the end will come." Matthew
24:11-14
"But those who desire to
be rich fall into temptation
and a snare, and into many
foolish and harmful lusts
which drown men in
destruction and
perdition. For the love of
money is a root of all
kinds of evil , for which
some have strayed from
the faith in their
greediness, and pierced
themselves through with
many sorrows." 1 Timothy
6:9-10
"Blessed is the man who
endures temptation; for
when he has been
approved, he will receive
the crown of life which the
Lord has promised to those
who love Him. Let no one
say when he is tempted, “I
am tempted by God”; for
God cannot be tempted by
evil, nor does He Himself
tempt anyone. But each one
is tempted when he is
drawn away by his own
desires and enticed . Then,
when desire has
conceived, it gives birth to
sin; and sin, when it is full-
grown, brings forth
death. " James 1:12-15
“He who would love life
and see good days,
Let him refrain his tongue
from evil, and his lips from
speaking deceit.
Let him turn away from
evil and do good;
Let him seek peace and
pursue it.
For the eyes of the Lord are
on the righteous, and His
ears are open to their
prayers;
But the face of the Lord is
against those who do
evil .”
And who is he who will
harm you if you become
followers of what is good?
But even if you should
suffer for righteousness’
sake, you are blessed. “And
do not be afraid of their
threats, nor be
troubled.” But sanctify the
Lord God in your hearts,
and always be ready to
give a defense to everyone
who asks you a reason for
the hope that is in you,
with meekness and
fear; having a good
conscience, that when they
defame you as evildoers,
those who revile your good
conduct in Christ may be
ashamed. For it is better, if
it is the will of God, to
suffer for doing good than
for doing evil." 1 Peter
3:10-17
"Do not marvel, my
brethren, if the world hates
you." 1 John 3:10
“...you have persevered
and have patience, and
have labored for My name’s
sake and have not become
weary. Nevertheless I have
this against you, that you
have left your first love.
Remember therefore from
where you have fallen;
repent and do the first
works, or else I will come to
you quickly and remove
your lampstand from its
place—unless you repent."
Revelation 2:3-6
"As many as I love, I
rebuke and chasten.
Therefore be zealous and
repent. Behold, I stand at
the door and knock. If
anyone hears My voice and
opens the door, I will come
in to him and dine with
him, and he with Me."
Revelation 3:19-20
"Convince, rebuke, exhort,
with all longsuffering and
teaching . For the time will
come when they will not
endure sound doctrine, but
according to their own
desires , because they have
itching ears, they will heap
up for themselves teachers;
and they will turn their ears
away from the truth, and
be turned aside to fables.
But you be watchful in all
things..." 2 Timothy 4:2-5
“...the Lord testified
against Israel and against
Judah, by all of
His prophets... saying,
' Turn from your evil ways,
and keep My
commandments and My
statutes....
"Nevertheless they
would not hear,
but stiffened their
necks.... And
they rejected His
statutes and His
covenant that He had made
with their fathers, and His
testimonies which He had
testified against them; they
followed idols, became
idolaters, and went after
the nations who were all
around them , concerning
whom the Lord had
charged them that they
should not do like
them . So they left all the
commandments of the Lord
their God... and worshiped
all the host of
heaven , and served
Baal. And they caused
their sons and daughters to
pass through the
fire, practiced witchcraft
and soothsaying, and sold
themselves to do evil in
the sight of the Lord, to
provoke Him to
anger. Therefore the Lord
was very angry with
Israel , and removed them
from His sight; there was
none left but the tribe of
Judah alone.
 “Also Judah did not
keep the commandments
of the Lord their God, but
walked in the statutes of
Israel which they made.
And the Lord rejected all the
descendants of Israel,
afflicted them,
and delivered them into
the hand of plunderers,
until He had cast them from
His sight." 2 Kings
17:13-20
 “Then the king of Assyria
brought people from
Babylon , Cuthah, Ava,
Hamath, and from
Sepharvaim, and placed
them in the cities of
Samaria instead of the
children of Israel ; and they
took possession of Samaria
and dwelt in its cities. ...t hey
did not fear the Lord;
therefore the Lord sent
lions among them , which
killed some of them." 2
Kings 17:24-25
 "...every nation continued
to make gods of its own....
They feared the Lord, yet
served their own gods —
according to the rituals of
the nations from among
whom they were carried
away." 2 Kings 17:29, 33
"Do not love the world or
the things in the world. If
anyone loves the world, the
love of the Father is not in
him. For all that is in the
world—the lust of the flesh,
the lust of the eyes, and the
pride of life—is not of the
Father but is of the world.
And the world is passing
away, and the lust of it; but
he who does the will of
God abides forever ." 1 John
2:15-17
