Six Things Hated, Seven Abominable!

"A naughty person, a wicked man, walks with a froward mouth. He winks with his eyes, he speaks with his feet, he teaches with his fingers. Frowardness is in his heart, he devises mischief continually; he sows discord. Therefore shall his calamity come suddenly; suddenly shall he be broken without remedy.

These six things does the Lord hate, yea, seven are an abomination unto him: a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that devises wicked imaginations, feet that be swift in running to mischief, a false witness that speaks lies, and he that sows discord among brethren." (Proverbs 1:25-26 RE)

Adultery, murder, lying, stealing are the big (4) four that appear throughout the scriptures and have been recently revealed specifically for us on August 8, 2022. This most definitely applies to us in our day. (Answer on Forgiveness): 

“How can you be one if you gather together with another who has been the adulterer again after being forgiven? And how can a man love his wife with all his heart and cleave unto her and none else if he commit adultery again after being forgiven?

You did not ask, but remember that I have said also that, You shall not kill, and he that kills shall not have forgiveness, neither in this world nor in the world to come. And again, you shall not kill; he that kills shall die. You shall not steal, and he that steals and will not repent shall be cast out. You shall not lie; he that lies and will not repent shall be cast out. How can you be one with he who murders, with the liar who deceives, and with the thief who steals? I say to you that you cannot be one when you are fractured and your little ones threatened by the disobedience of the adulterer, murderer, liar and thief who will not repent. (Bold emphasis)

Here is part of God’s covenant (September 2017) with His people and specifies the requirements of the people He is talking to:

“All you who have turned from your wicked ways and repented of your evil doings, of lying and deceiving, and of all whoredoms, and of secret abominations, idolatries, murders, priestcrafts, envying, and strife, and from all wickedness and abominations, and have come unto me, and been baptized in my name, and have received a remission of your sins, and received the holy ghost, are now numbered with my people who are of the house of Israel. I say to you:” (T&C 158:10 RE)

 

It may be beneficial to be aware of these requirements, characteristics, and attributes so we can recognize them when we see them, both the good and the bad. We need to be attentive and take notice whenever we begin observing the bad, unacceptable traits either in ourselves or others. If they are found in me, I have the ability with Christ to root them out and repent and move on. If it comes to my attention that they are found in others, at least I need to be aware and be wise about it. Being more familiar with these features, we will be better at accurately identifying and properly handling such individuals when they appear and wicked groups of people as they are manifested. 

Both history and common sense suggest at any time God sends a servant with a message of repentance to a people, on any occasion a new dispensation begins, or whenever society finds itself in the process of restoration with revelations given from heaven, the adversary takes notice. Naughty people and wicked men, who walk with a froward mouth, almost always crawl out of the woodworks and make themselves known to cause confusion, contention, and damage. Sadly, the ones most determined and lethal come from within. Be alert, pay attention, and act accordingly!

“And then shall the heathen nations be redeemed, and they which knew no law shall have part in the first resurrection, and it shall be tolerable for them. And Satan shall be bound, that he shall have no place in the hearts of the children of men. And at that day when I shall come in my glory shall the parable be fulfilled which I spoke concerning the ten virgins, for they that are wise and have received the truth, and have taken the holy spirit for their guide and have not been deceived, verily I say unto you, they shall not be hewn down and cast into the fire, but shall abide the day, and the earth shall be given unto them for an inheritance. And they shall multiply and wax strong, and their children shall grow up without sin unto salvation, for the Lord shall be in their midst and his glory shall be upon them, and he will be their king and their lawgiver.” (T&C 31:12 RE)
