Today's Topic:
Good and evil
This study might seem simple; however it is the crux of the whole matter.
God's
Commandments are always challenged
Gen.2
[1]
Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.
[2] And on the seventh day God
ended his work which he had made; and he rested on the seventh day from all his
work which he had made.
[3] And God blessed the seventh
day, and sanctified it: because that in it he had rested from all his work
which God created and made.
[9] And out of the ground made Yehovah God to grow every
tree that is pleasant to the sight, and good
for food; the tree of life also in the midst of
the garden, and the tree of
knowledge of good and evil.
[15] And Yehovah
God took the man, and put him into the garden of Eden
to dress it and to keep it.
[16] And Yehovah
God commanded the man, saying, Of every tree of the garden thou mayest freely eat:
[17] But of the
tree of the knowledge of good and evil, thou shalt not eat of it: for in
the day that thou eatest thereof thou shalt surely die.
-----------------------------
Beware when God's Commandments are
challenged
Gen.3 [1] Now the serpent was more subtil than any beast of the field which Yehovah God had made. And he said unto the woman, Yea, hath God said,
Ye shall not eat of every tree of the garden?
[2] And the woman
said unto the serpent, We may eat of the fruit of the trees of the garden:
[3] But of the fruit of the tree
which is in the midst of the garden, God hath said, Ye shall not eat of it,
neither shall ye touch it, lest ye die.
[4] And the serpent said unto
the woman, Ye shall not surely die:
[5] For God doth know that in
the day ye eat thereof, then your eyes
shall be opened, and ye shall be as gods, knowing good
and evil.
[6] And
when the woman saw that the tree was good for
food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make
one wise, she took
of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and
he did eat.
[7] And the eyes of them both
were opened, and they knew that they were naked; and they sewed fig leaves
together, and made themselves aprons.
The lure: Anything that attracts, entices, or allures,
the power of attracting or enticing, a decoy; live or especially artificial
bait used in fishing or trapping
The tree was good for food
It was pleasant to the eyes
A tree to be desired to make one wise
--------------
[11]
And he said, Who told thee that thou wast naked? Hast thou eaten of the tree, whereof I
commanded thee that thou shouldest not eat?
[22]
And Yehovah God said, Behold, the man is become as
one of us, to know good and evil: and now, lest
he put forth his hand, and take also of the tree of life, and eat, and live for ever:
[23] Therefore Yehovah God sent him forth from the garden of Eden, to till
the ground from whence he was taken.
[24] So he drove out the man;
and he placed at the east of the garden of Eden Cherubims,
and a flaming sword which turned every way, to keep the way of the tree of
life.
------------------------
Good and evil will never end until the last day
Here are some verses:
Gen.44 [4]
And when they were gone out of the city, and not yet far off, Joseph said unto
his steward, Up, follow after the men; and when thou dost overtake them, say
unto them, Wherefore have
ye rewarded evil for good?
Gen.50 [20]
But as for you, ye thought evil against me; but
God meant it unto good, to bring to pass, as it is this day, to
save much people alive.
Job.2 [10]
But he said unto her, Thou speakest as one of the
foolish women speaketh. What? shall
we receive good
at the hand of God, and shall we not receive evil?
In all this did not Job sin with his lips.
Job.30 [26]
When I looked for good, then evil came unto me: and when I waited for light, there
came darkness.
Pss.34 [14]
Depart from evil,
and do good; seek peace, and pursue it.
Pss.35 [12]
They rewarded me evil for good to the spoiling of my soul.
Pss.36 [4]
He deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth
not evil.
Pss.37 [27] Depart from evil, and do good; and dwell for evermore.
Pss.38 [20]
They also that render
evil for good
are mine adversaries; because I follow the thing that good is.
Pss.52 [3]
Thou lovest evil more than good;
and lying rather than to speak righteousness. Selah.
Pss.109 [5] And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred
for my love.
Prov.13 [21] Evil
pursueth sinners: but to the righteous good
shall be repayed.
Prov.14 [19]
The evil bow before the good;
and the wicked at the gates of the righteous.
[22] Do they not err that devise evil? but mercy and truth shall be to them that devise
good.
Prov.15 [3] The eyes of Yehovah are in every place, beholding
the evil and the good.
Prov.17 [13]
Whoso rewardeth evil for good, evil
shall not depart from his house.
Prov.28 [10]
Whoso causeth the righteous
to go astray in an evil way, he shall fall
himself into his own pit: but the upright shall have good things in possession.
Prov.31 [12]A virtuous
woman - She will do him good
and not evil all the days of her life.
Ecc.12[14] For God
shall bring every work into judgment, with every secret thing, whether it be good,
or whether it be evil.
Isa.5 [20] Woe unto them that call evil good, and good evil; that put darkness for light, and light for
darkness; that put bitter for sweet, and sweet for bitter!
Isa.41
[21]
Produce your cause, saith Yehovah;
bring forth your strong reasons, saith the King of Jacob.
[22] Let them bring them forth,
and shew us what shall happen: let them shew the former things, what they be, that we may consider
them, and know the latter end of them; or declare us things for to come.
[23] Shew
the things that are to come hereafter, that we may know that ye are gods: yea,
do good, or do evil, that we may be dismayed, and behold it together.
[24]
Behold, ye are of nothing, and your work of nought:
an abomination is he that chooseth you.
Jer.4 [22]
For my people is foolish, they have not known me; they
are sottish children, and they have none
understanding: they are wise
to do evil, but to do good they have no knowledge.
Jer.13 [23] Can the Ethiopian change his skin,
or the leopard his spots? then may ye also do
good, that are accustomed to do evil.
Jer.18 [10] If it do evil
in my sight, that it obey not my voice, then I will repent of the good,
wherewith I said I would benefit them.[11] Now therefore go to, speak to the
men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem, saying, Thus saith Yehovah; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you: return ye now every one
from his evil way, and make your ways and your
doings good.
[20] Shall evil be recompensed for good? for they have digged a pit for my soul. Remember that I stood before thee
to speak good
for them, and to turn away thy wrath from them.
Lam.3 [38]
Out of the mouth of the most High proceedeth not evil and good?
Amos 5 [14] Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so Yehovah, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have
spoken.[15]
Hate the evil,
and love the good, and establish
judgment in the gate: it may be that Yehovah God of
hosts will be gracious unto the remnant of Joseph.
Mic.3
[1]
And I said, Hear, I pray you, O heads of Jacob, and ye princes of the house of
Israel; Is it not for you to know judgment?
[2] Who hate the good, and love the evil; who pluck off their skin from off them,
and their flesh from off their bones;
[3] Who also eat the flesh of my
people, and flay their skin from off them; and they break their bones, and chop
them in pieces, as for the pot, and as flesh within the caldron.
[4] Then shall they cry unto Yehovah, but he will not hear them: he will even hide his
face from them at that time, as they have behaved themselves ill in their
doings.
[5] Thus saith
Yehovah concerning the prophets that make my people
err, that bite with their teeth, and cry, Peace; and he that putteth not into their mouths, they even prepare war
against him.
[6] Therefore night shall be
unto you, that ye shall not have a vision; and it
shall be dark unto you, that ye shall not divine; and the sun shall go down
over the prophets, and the day shall be dark over them.
[7] Then shall the seers be
ashamed, and the diviners confounded: yea, they shall all cover their lips; for
there is no answer of God.
[8] But truly I am full of power
by the spirit of Yehovah, and of judgment, and of
might, to declare unto Jacob his transgression, and to Israel his sin.
[9] Hear this, I pray you, ye
heads of the house of Jacob, and princes of the house of Israel, that abhor
judgment, and pervert all equity.
[10] They build up Zion with blood, and Jerusalem with iniquity.
[11] The heads thereof judge for
reward, and the priests thereof teach for hire, and
the prophets thereof divine for money: yet will they lean upon Yehovah, and say, Is not Yehovah
among us? none evil can
come upon us.
[12] Therefore shall Zion for
your sake be plowed as a field, and Jerusalem shall become heaps,
and the mountain of the house as the high places of the forest.
Mal.2 [17] Ye
have wearied Yehovah with your words. Yet ye say, Wherein have we wearied him? When ye say, Every one that doeth evil
is good in the
sight of Yehovah, and he delighteth
in them; or, Where is the God of judgment?
Matt.7 [17] Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth
forth evil fruit.
[18] A good tree cannot bring forth evil
fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit.
Matt.12 [34]
O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things?
for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.
[35] A good man out of the good
treasure of the heart bringeth forth good
things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth
evil things.
Luke 6 [9] Then said Yeshua
unto them, I will ask you one thing; Is it lawful on the sabbath
days to do good, or to do evil? to save life, or to destroy it? [10] And
looking round about upon them all, he said unto the man, Stretch forth thy
hand. And he did so: and his hand was restored whole as the other.
[35] But
love ye your enemies, and do good, and lend,
hoping for nothing again; and your reward shall be great, and ye shall be the
children of the Highest: for he is kind unto the unthankful and to the evil. [36] Be ye therefore merciful, as your
Father also is merciful.
[45] A good man out of the good
treasure of his heart bringeth forth that which is good;
and an evil man out of the evil treasure of his heart bringeth
forth that which is evil: for of the abundance
of the heart his mouth speaketh.
John.5 [25]
Verily, verily, I say unto you, The hour is coming,
and now is, when the dead shall hear the voice of the Son of God: and they that
hear shall live.
[26] For as the Father hath life
in himself; so hath he given to the Son to have life in himself;
[27] And hath given him
authority to execute judgment also, because he is the Son of man.
[28] Marvel not at this: for the
hour is coming, in the which all that are in the graves shall hear his voice,
[29] And shall come forth; they that
have done good, unto
the resurrection of life; and they that have
done evil, unto the resurrection of damnation.
Rom.3 [8]
And not rather, (as we be slanderously reported, and
as some affirm that we say,) Let
us do evil, that good may come? whose
damnation is just.
Rom.7 [21] I find then a law, that, when I would do good,
evil is present with me.
Rom.12[9] Let love be without dissimulation.(feigning; hypocrisy) Abhor that which is evil; cleave to that which is good.
[21] Be not overcome of evil, but overcome evil
with good.
Rom.13 [3] For rulers are not a terror to good
works, but to the evil.
Wilt thou then not be afraid of the power? do that
which is good,
and thou shalt have praise of the same:
[4] For he is the minister of God to thee for good.
But if thou do that which is evil,
be afraid; for he beareth not the sword in
vain: for he is the minister of God, a revenger to
execute wrath upon him that
doeth evil.
Rom.14 [16] Let not then your good be evil spoken of:
1 Cor.15 [33] Be not deceived:
evil communications corrupt good manners.
1Thes.5 [15] See that none render evil for evil unto any man; but ever follow that which is good, both among yourselves,
and to all men.
Heb.5 [14] But strong meat belongeth to them that are of full age, even those who by
reason of use have their senses exercised to discern both good and evil.
1Pet.2 [12] Having
your conversation honest among the Gentiles: that, whereas they speak against you as evildoers,
they may by your good works, which they
shall behold, glorify God in the day of visitation.
1Pet.3 [10] For he that will love life, and
see good
days, let him refrain his tongue from evil, and his lips that they speak no guile:[11] Let
him eschew evil, and do good;
let him seek peace, and ensue it.
[16] Having a good conscience; that, whereas
they speak evil of you, as of evildoers, they may be ashamed that falsely accuse your good
conversation in Messiah.
3 John 1 [11] Beloved, follow not that which is evil, but that
which is good. He that doeth good is of God: but he that
doeth evil hath not seen God.
--------------------
[1] These be the words which Moses spake unto all Israel on this side Jordan in the
wilderness, in the plain over against the Red sea, between Paran,
and Tophel, and Laban, and Hazeroth, and Dizahab.
[2] (There are eleven days'
journey from Horeb by the way of mount Seir unto Kadesh-barnea.)
[3] And
it came to pass in the fortieth year, in the eleventh month, on the first day
of the month, that Moses spake unto the
children of Israel, according unto all that Yehovah had given him in commandment unto them;
[34] And Yehovah heard the voice of your words, and was wroth,
and sware, saying,
[35] Surely there shall not one
of these men of this evil generation see that good land, which I sware to give unto your fathers,
[36] Save Caleb the son of Jephunneh; he shall see it, and to him will I give the land
that he hath trodden upon, and to his children, because he hath wholly followed
Yehovah.
[37] Also Yehovah was angry with me for your sakes, saying, Thou also shalt not go in thither.
[38] But Joshua the son of Nun,
which standeth before thee, he shall go in thither:
encourage him: for he shall cause Israel to inherit it.
[39] Moreover your little ones,
which ye said should be a prey, and your children, which in that day had no
knowledge between good and evil, they shall go in thither, and unto them will I
give it, and they shall possess it.
[40] But as for you, turn you,
and take your journey into the wilderness by the way of the Red sea.
Deut.30
[15]
See, I have set before thee this day life and good, and death and evil; [16] In that I command thee this day to love Yehovah
thy God, to walk in his ways, and to keep his commandments and his statutes and
his judgments, that thou mayest live and multiply:
and Yehovah thy God shall bless thee in the land
whither thou goest to possess it.
Rom.16 [17] Now I beseech you, brethren, mark
them which cause divisions and offences contrary to the doctrine which ye have
learned; and avoid them.
[18] For they that are such
serve not our Lord Yeshua Messiah, but their own
belly; and by good words and fair speeches deceive the hearts of the simple.
[19]
For your obedience is come abroad unto all men. I am glad therefore on your
behalf: but yet I would have you wise unto that which is good, and simple concerning evil. [20]
And the God of peace shall bruise Satan under your feet
shortly.
The grace of our Lord Yeshua
the Messiah be with you. Amen.
