6 or 7 things the Bible says God hates

[undeterred]

"There are six things the Lord hates, yes, seven are an abonimation to him;
Haughty eyes, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood;
A heart that plots wicked schemes, feet that run swiftly to evil,
The false witness who utters lies, and he who sows discord among brothers."

- Proverbs 6:16-19 -

Remember this when you hear the other side say that God talks to George or they tell you that God thinks somebody's sexual orientation is an 'abomination'. "What God hates" describes the current administration perfectly.

1. OH they are SO screwed.

[Metta]

2. Proverbs 29:18.

"Where there is no vision, there people perish." I also seem to remember somewhere that either God or Jesus said, "Make peace with your brother before you lay your gift on my altar."

[undeterred]

4. So many people are perishing

at the hands of these evil men.

[Metta]

5. When the task (of taking care of the people) gets lost, people get hurt.

A group processing tenent.

3. you left out liberals, socialist, homosexuals

and muslims (yes, in know the islam didn't appear before the 7th century but an intelligent designer of a god should have anticipated then, doncha think???)

6. Is this the same God

that ordered the murder of innocent women and children in Joshua 6:20-21?

20 So the people shouted when the priests blew with the trumpets: and it came to pass, when the people heard the sound of the trumpet, and the people shouted with a great shout, that the wall fell down flat, so that the people went up into the city, every man straight before him, and they took the city.

21 And they utterly destroyed all that was in the city, both man and woman, young and old, and ox, and sheep, and ass, with the edge of the sword.


I'd like to believe that Georgie takes much of the bible to heart, including the story of the destruction of Jericho. For example, Joshua 6:24 (3 verses after the previous quote):

24 And they burnt the city with fire, and all that was therein: only the silver, and the gold, and the vessels of brass and of iron, they put into the treasury of the house of the LORD.

7. As long as we are quoting the Bible, have you read Proverbs 31:10

Epilogue: The Wife of Noble Character

10 A wife of noble character who can find?
She is worth far more than rubies.

11 Her husband has full confidence in her
and lacks nothing of value.

12 She brings him good, not harm,
all the days of her life.

13 She selects wool and flax
and works with eager hands.

14 She is like the merchant ships,
bringing her food from afar.

15 She gets up while it is still dark;
she provides food for her family
and portions for her servant girls.

16 She considers a field and buys it;
out of her earnings she plants a vineyard.

17 She sets about her work vigorously;
her arms are strong for her tasks.

18 She sees that her trading is profitable,
and her lamp does not go out at night.

19 In her hand she holds the distaff
and grasps the spindle with her fingers.

20 She opens her arms to the poor
and extends her hands to the needy.

21 When it snows, she has no fear for her household;
for all of them are clothed in scarlet.

22 She makes coverings for her bed;
she is clothed in fine linen and purple.

23 Her husband is respected at the city gate,
where he takes his seat among the elders of the land.

24 She makes linen garments and sells them,
and supplies the merchants with sashes. . . .

I've always thought it was interesting to read that and then listen to the fundies say women should stay home and not have jobs . . . :mad:

[Fridays Child]

8. Haughty eyes

[corkhead]

9. sounds like a good thing to include in a LTTE to a repuke paper

like the birdcage liner I get daily.

[the_spectator]

10. Great verses you found there!

It's almost as though it was written specifically for Plamegate! Especially the two that refer to the likely charges in the actual indictments: "A heart that plots wicked schemes"(Obstruction of Justice) and "the false witness who utters lies"(Perjury).

[Mr_Spock]

11. This administration truly embodies the "wolf in sheep's clothing"

Satan talks to George.

[Pab Sungenis]

12. There's a lot that "God hates."

I compiled this list years ago, and lots of people have stolen it and added onto it.
