And without any question that oath is binding. 17 GOD ALSO BOUND HIMSELF WITH AN OATH, so that those who received the promise could be perfectly sure that he would never change his mind. 18 So GOD HAS GIVEN BOTH HIS PROMISE AND HIS OATH. These two things are unchangeable because IT IS IMPOSSIBLE FOR GOD TO LIE. THEREFORE, WE WHO HAVE FLED TO HIM FOR REFUGE CAN HAVE GREAT CONFIDENCE AS WE HOLD TO THE HOPE THAT LIES BEFORE US. 19 THIS HOPE IS A STRONG AND TRUSTWORTHY ANCHOR FOR OUR SOULS. It leads us through the curtain into God's inner sanctuary. TITUS 1: 1-31 Paul, a servant of God and an apostle of Jesus Christ for the faith of God's elect and the knowledge of the truth that leads to godliness- 2 a faith and knowledge resting on THE HOPE OF ETERNAL LIFE, WHICH GOD, WHO DOES NOT LIE, PROMISED BEFORE THE BEGINNING OF TIME, 3 and at his appointed season he brought his word to light through the preaching entrusted to me by the command of God our Savior,LEVITICUS 19: 1-2, 11-19VARIOUS LAWS1 The LORD said to Moses, 2 "Speak to the entire assembly of Israel and say to them: 'BE HOLY BECAUSE I, THE LORD YOUR GOD, AM HOLY....11 "'Do not steal. DO NOT LIE. DO NOT DECEIVE ONE ANOTHER. 12 "'DO NOT SWEAR FALSELY BY MY NAME AND SO PROFANE THE NAME OF YOUR GOD. I am the LORD. 13 "'Do not defraud your neighbor or rob him. Do not hold back the wages of a hired man overnight. 14 "'Do not curse the deaf or put a stumbling block in front of the blind, but fear your God. I am the LORD. 15 "'Do not pervert justice; do not show partiality to the poor or favoritism to the great, but judge your neighbor fairly. 16 "'DO NOT GO ABOUT SPREADING SLANDER AMONG YOUR PEOPLE. Do not do anything that endangers your neighbor's life. I am the LORD. 17 "'Do not hate your brother in your heart. REBUKE YOUR NEIGHBOR FRANKLY so you will not share in his guilt. 18 "'Do not seek revenge or bear a grudge against one of your people, but LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF. I AM THE LORD. 19 "'KEEP MY DECREES. REVELATION 21: 1-8THE NEW JERUSALEM1 Then I saw A NEW HEAVEN AND A NEW EARTH, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. 2 I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. 3 And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "NOW THE DWELLING OF GOD IS WITH MEN, AND HE WILL LIVE WITH THEM. THEY WILL BE HIS PEOPLE, AND GOD HIMSELF WILL BE WITH THEM AND BE THEIR GOD. 4 HE WILL WIPE EVERY TEAR FROM THEIR EYES. THERE WILL BE NO MORE DEATH OR MOURNING OR CRYING OR PAIN, FOR THE OLD ORDER OF THINGS HAS PASSED AWAY."5 He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy and true."6 He said to me: "It is done. I am THE ALPHA AND THE OMEGA, THE BEGINNING AND THE END. To him who is thirsty I will give to drink without cost from the SPRING OF THE WATER OF LIFE. 7 He who overcomes will inherit all this, and I will be his God and he will be my son. 8 But THE COWARDLY, THE UNBELIEVING, THE VILE, THE MURDERERS, THE SEXUALLY IMMORAL, THOSE WHO PRACTICE MAGIC ARTS, THE IDOLATERS AND ALL LIARS-THEIR PLACE WILL BE IN THE FIERY LAKE OF BURNING SULFUR. THIS IS THE SECOND DEATH."PSALM 7: 14-17 (New Living Translation)14 THE WICKED CONCEIVE EVIL; THEY ARE PREGNANT WITH TROUBLE AND GIVE BIRTH TO LIES. 15 THEY DIG A DEEP PIT TO TRAP OTHERS, THEN FALL INTO IT THEMSELVES. 16 The trouble they make for others backfires on them. The violence they plan falls on their own heads.17 I will thank the Lord because he is just; I will sing praise to the name of the Lord Most High.ACTS 4: 32-35, 5: 1-11THE BELIEVERS SHARE THEIR POSSESSIONS32 All the believers were one in heart and mind. No one claimed that any of his possessions was his own, but they shared everything they had. 33 With great power the apostles continued to testify to the resurrection of the Lord Jesus, and much grace was upon them all. 34 There were no needy persons among them. For from time to time those who owned lands or houses sold them, brought the money from the sales 35 and put it at the apostles' feet, and it was distributed to anyone as he had need....ACTS 5ANANIAS AND SAPPHIRA 1 Now a man named Ananias, together with his wife Sapphira, also sold a piece of property. 2 With his wife's full knowledge he kept back part of the money for himself, but brought the rest and put it at the apostles' feet.3 Then Peter said, "Ananias, how is it that Satan has so filled your heart that YOU HAVE LIED TO THE HOLY SPIRIT and have kept for yourself some of the money you received for the land? 4 Didn't it belong to you before it was sold? And after it was sold, wasn't the money at your disposal? What made you think of doing such a thing? YOU HAVE NOT LIED TO MEN BUT TO GOD."5 When ANANIAS heard this, he FELL DOWN AND DIED. And great fear seized all who heard what had happened. 6 Then the young men came forward, wrapped up his body, and carried him out and buried him.7 About three hours later his wife came in, not knowing what had happened. 8 Peter asked her, "Tell me, is this the price you and Ananias got for the land? Yes," she said, "that is the price."9 Peter said to her, "How could you agree to test the Spirit of the Lord? Look! The feet of the men who buried your husband are at the door, and they will carry you out also."10 At that moment SHE FELL DOWN AT HIS FEET AND DIED. Then the young men came in and, finding her dead, carried her out and buried her beside her husband. 11 Great fear seized the whole church and all who heard about these events. JOHN 8: 42-47THE CHILDREN OF THE DEVIL42 Jesus said to them, "If God were your Father, you would love me, for I came from God and now am here. I have not come on my own; but he sent me. 43 Why is my language not clear to you? Because YOU ARE UNABLE TO HEAR WHAT I SAY. 44 You belong to your father, THE DEVIL, and you want to carry out your father's desire. He was a murderer from the beginning, not holding to the truth, for THERE IS NO TRUTH IN HIM. When he LIES, he speaks HIS NATIVE LANGUAGE, for HE IS A LIAR and THE FATHER OF LIES. 45 Yet because I tell the truth, you do not believe me! 46 Can any of you prove me guilty of sin? If I am telling the truth, why don't you believe me? 47 HE WHO BELONGS TO GOD HEARS WHAT GOD SAYS. THE REASON YOU DO NOT HEAR IS THAT YOU DO NOT BELONG TO GOD." PROVERBS 30: 5-65 "EVERY WORD OF GOD IS FLAWLESS; he is a shield to those who take refuge in him.6 DO NOT ADD TO HIS WORDS, OR HE WILL REBUKE YOU AND PROVE YOU A LIAR. PSALM 5: 4-10 (New Living Translation)4 O GOD, YOU TAKE NO PLEASURE IN WICKEDNESS; you cannot tolerate the sins of the wicked. 5 Therefore, the proud may not stand in your presence, for YOU HATE ALL WHO DO EVIL. 6 YOU WILL DESTROY THOSE WHO TELL LIES. THE LORD DETESTS MURDERERS AND DECEIVERS.7 Because of your unfailing love, I can enter your house; I will worship at your Temple with deepest awe. 8 Lead me in the right path, O Lord, or my enemies will conquer me. Make your way plain for me to follow.9 MY ENEMIES CANNOT SPEAK A TRUTHFUL WORD. THEIR DEEPEST DESIRE IS TO DESTROY OTHERS. THEIR TALK IS FOUL, LIKE THE STENCH FROM AN OPEN GRAVE. THEIR TONGUES ARE FILLED WITH FLATTERY. [Greek version reads with LIES] 10 O God, declare them guilty. Let them be caught in their own traps. Drive them away because of their many sins, for THEY HAVE REBELLED AGAINST YOU. PSALM 12: 1-8 (New Living Translation)1 Help, O Lord, for THE GODLY ARE FAST DISAPPEARING! The faithful have vanished from the earth! 2 NEIGHBORS LIE TO EACH OTHER, SPEAKING WITH FLATTERING LIPS AND DECEITFUL HEARTS. 3 MAY THE LORD CUT OFF THEIR FLATTERING LIPS AND SILENCE THEIR BOASTFUL TONGUES. 4 THEY SAY, WE WILL LIE TO OUR HEARTS CONTENT. OUR LIPS ARE OUR OWNWHO CAN STOP US?5 The Lord replies, "I have seen violence done to the helpless, and I have heard the groans of the poor. Now I will rise up to rescue them, as they have longed for me to do." 6 The Lord's promises are pure, like silver refined in a furnace, purified seven times over. 7 Therefore, LORD, we know YOU WILL PROTECT THE OPPRESSED, PRESERVING THEM FOREVER FROM THIS LYING GENERATION, 8 even though THE WICKED STRUT ABOUT, and EVIL IS PRAISED THROUGHOUT THE LAND.COLOSSIANS 3: 1-10RULES FOR HOLY LIVING1 Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, SET YOUR HEARTS ON THINGS ABOVE, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God. 2 SET YOUR MINDS ON THINGS ABOVE, NOT ON EARTHLY THINGS. 3 For you died, and your life is now hidden with Christ in God. 4 WHEN CHRIST, who is your life, APPEARS, then YOU ALSO WILL APPEAR WITH HIM IN GLORY.5 PUT TO DEATH, THEREFORE, WHATEVER BELONGS TO YOUR EARTHLY NATURE: SEXUAL IMMORALITY, IMPURITY, LUST, EVIL DESIRES AND GREED, WHICH IS IDOLATRY. 6 Because of these, THE WRATH OF GOD IS COMING. 7 You used to walk in these ways, in the life you once lived. 8 But now you must RID YOURSELVES OF ALL SUCH THINGS AS THESE: ANGER, RAGE, MALICE, SLANDER, and FILTHY LANGUAGE from your lips. 9 DO NOT LIE TO EACH OTHER, since you have taken off your old self with its practices 10 and have PUT ON THE NEW SELF, which is being renewed in knowledge in the image of its Creator. DEUTERONOMY 19: 15-21WITNESSES15 ONE WITNESS IS NOT ENOUGH TO CONVICT A MAN ACCUSED OF ANY CRIME OR OFFENSE he may have committed. A matter must be established by the testimony of TWO OR THREE WITNESSES.16 If a malicious witness takes the stand to accuse a man of a crime, 17 the two men involved in the dispute must stand in the presence of the LORD before the priests and the judges who are in office at the time. 18 The judges must make a thorough investigation, and IF THE WITNESS PROVES TO BE A LIAR, GIVING FALSE TESTIMONY AGAINST HIS BROTHER, 19 then DO TO HIM AS HE INTENDED TO DO TO HIS BROTHER. You must purge the evil from among you. 20 The rest of the people will hear of this and be afraid, and never again will such an evil thing be done among you. 21 Show no pity: life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot. ISAIAH 32: 7The scoundrel's methods are wicked, he makes up evil schemes to DESTROY THE POOR WITH LIES, even when the plea of the needy is just.1 JOHN 2: 1-111 My dear children, I write this to you so that you will not sin. But if anybody does sin, we have one who speaks to the Father in our defense-JESUS CHRIST, THE RIGHTEOUS ONE. 2 He is THE ATONING SACRIFICE FOR OUR SINS, and not only for ours but also for THE SINS OF THE WHOLE WORLD.3 WE KNOW THAT WE HAVE COME TO KNOW HIM IF WE OBEY HIS COMMANDS. 4 THE MAN WHO SAYS, "I KNOW HIM," BUT DOES NOT DO WHAT HE COMMANDS IS A LIAR, and THE TRUTH IS NOT IN HIM. 5 But if anyone OBEYS his word, God's love is truly made complete in him. This is how we know we are in him: 6 WHOEVER CLAIMS TO LIVE IN HIM MUST WALK AS JESUS DID.7 Dear friends, I am not writing you a new command but an old one, which you have had since the beginning. This old command is the message you have heard. 8 Yet I am writing you a new command; its truth is seen in him and you, because the darkness is passing and the true light is already shining.9 ANYONE WHO CLAIMS TO BE IN THE LIGHT BUT HATES HIS BROTHER IS STILL IN THE DARKNESS. 10 Whoever loves his brother lives in the light, and there is nothing in him to make him stumble. 11 But WHOEVER HATES HIS BROTHER IS IN THE DARKNESS AND WALKS AROUND IN THE DARKNESS; he does not know where he is going, because the darkness has blinded him. 1 JOHN 1: 5-10WALKING IN THE LIGHT5 This is the message we have heard from him and declare to you: God is light; in him there is no darkness at all. 6 If WE CLAIM TO HAVE FELLOWSHIP WITH HIM YET WALK IN THE DARKNESS, WE LIE AND DO NOT LIVE BY THE TRUTH. 7 But if we walk in the light, as he is in the light, we have fellowship with one another, and the blood of Jesus, his Son, purifies us from all sin.8 IF WE CLAIM TO BE WITHOUT SIN, WE DECEIVE OURSELVES AND THE TRUTH IS NOT IN US. 9 If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. 10 IF WE CLAIM WE HAVE NOT SINNED, WE MAKE HIM OUT TO BE A LIAR AND HIS WORD HAS NO PLACE IN OUR LIVES.1 JOHN 4: 7-21GOD'S LOVE AND OURS7 Dear friends, let us love one another, for love comes from God. EVERYONE WHO LOVES HAS BEEN BORN OF GOD AND KNOWS GOD. 8 WHOEVER DOES NOT LOVE DOES NOT KNOW GOD, BECAUSE GOD IS LOVE. 9 This is how God showed his love among us: He sent his one and only Son [Or his only begotten Son] into the world that we might live through him. 10 This is love: not that we loved God, but that he loved us and sent his Son as an atoning sacrifice for our sins. 11 Dear friends, since God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No one has ever seen God; but IF WE LOVE ONE ANOTHER, GOD LIVES IN US AND HIS LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE IN US.13 We know that we live in him and he in us, because he has given us of his Spirit. 14 And we have seen and testify that the Father has sent his Son to be the Savior of the world. 15 If anyone acknowledges that Jesus is the Son of God, God lives in him and he in God. 16 And so we know and rely on the love God has for us. God is love. Whoever lives in love lives in God, and God in him. 17 In this way, LOVE IS MADE COMPLETE AMONG US SO THAT WE WILL HAVE CONFIDENCE ON THE DAY OF JUDGMENT, because in this world we are like him. 18 There is no fear in love. But perfect love drives out fear, because fear has to do with punishment. The one who fears is not made perfect in love.19 We love because he first loved us. 20 IF ANYONE SAYS, "I LOVE GOD," YET HATES HIS BROTHER, HE IS A LIAR. For ANYONE WHO DOES NOT LOVE HIS BROTHER, WHOM HE HAS SEEN, CANNOT LOVE GOD, WHOM HE HAS NOT SEEN. 21 And he has given us this command: WHOEVER LOVES GOD MUST ALSO LOVE HIS BROTHER.Isaiah 59: 1-16Sin, Confession and Redemption CLICK HERE TO READ SCRIPTURES ON TOPIC: JUSTICE/INJUSTICE - WARNINGS TO LAWYERS-COURTS-LAWMAKERS 1 Surely the arm of the LORD is not too short to save, nor his ear too dull to hear. 2 But your iniquities have separated you from your God; your sins have hidden his face from you, so that he will not hear.3 For your hands are stained with blood, your fingers with guilt. YOUR LIPS HAVE SPOKEN LIES, and your tongue mutters wicked things.4 NO ONE CALLS FOR JUSTICE; NO ONE PLEADS HIS CASE WITH INTEGRITY. THEY RELY ON EMPTY ARGUMENTS AND SPEAK LIES; they conceive trouble and give birth to evil.5 They hatch the eggs of vipers and spin a spider's web. Whoever eats their eggs will die, and when one is broken, an adder is hatched.6 Their cobwebs are useless for clothing; they cannot cover themselves with what they make. Their deeds are evil deeds, and acts of violence are in their hands.7 Their feet rush into sin; they are swift to shed innocent blood. Their thoughts are evil thoughts; ruin and destruction mark their ways.8 The way of peace they do not know; there is no justice in their paths. They have turned them into crooked roads; no one who walks in them will know peace.9 So justice is far from us, and righteousness does not reach us. We look for light, but all is darkness; for brightness, but we walk in deep shadows.10 Like the blind we grope along the wall, feeling our way like men without eyes. At midday we stumble as if it were twilight; among the strong, we are like the dead.11 We all growl like bears; we moan mournfully like doves. WE LOOK FOR JUSTICE, BUT FIND NONE; for deliverance, but it is far away.12 For our offenses are many in your sight, and our sins testify against us. Our offenses are ever with us, and we acknowledge our iniquities:13 rebellion and treachery against the LORD, turning our backs on our God, fomenting oppression and revolt, UTTERING LIES our hearts have conceived.14 So JUSTICE IS DRIVEN BACK, AND RIGHTEOUSNESS STANDS AT A DISTANCE; TRUTH HAS STUMBLED IN THE STREETS, HONESTY CANNOT ENTER.15 TRUTH IS NOWHERE TO BE FOUND, and whoever shuns evil becomes a prey. The LORD looked and was displeased that there was no justice.16 He saw that there was no one, he was appalled that there was no one to intervene;
