They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Romans 3:12
They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Psalm 14:3
Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Psalm 53:3
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. They are corrupt, they have done abominable works, there is none that doeth good. The LORD looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, and seek God. They are all gone aside, they are all together become filthy: there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have all the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread, and call not upon the LORD. There were they in great fear: for God is in the generation of the righteous. Ye have shamed the counsel of the poor, because the LORD is his refuge. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! when the LORD bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. Psalm 14:1-7
The fool hath said in his heart, There is no God. Corrupt are they, and have done abominable iniquity: there is none that doeth good. God looked down from heaven upon the children of men, to see if there were any that did understand, that did seek God. Every one of them is gone back: they are altogether become filthy; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Have the workers of iniquity no knowledge? who eat up my people as they eat bread: they have not called upon God. There were they in great fear, where no fear was: for God hath scattered the bones of him that encampeth against thee: thou hast put them to shame, because God hath despised them. Oh that the salvation of Israel were come out of Zion! When God bringeth back the captivity of his people, Jacob shall rejoice, and Israel shall be glad. Psalm 53:1-6
What then? are we better than they? No, in no wise: for we have before proved both Jews and Gentiles, that they are all under sin; As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one: There is none that understandeth, there is none that seeketh after God. They are all gone out of the way, they are together become unprofitable; there is none that doeth good, no, not one. Their throat is an open sepulchre; with their tongues they have used deceit; the poison of asps is under their lips: Whose mouth is full of cursing and bitterness: Their feet are swift to shed blood: Destruction and misery are in their ways: And the way of peace have they not known: There is no fear of God before their eyes. Now we know that what things soever the law saith, it saith to them who are under the law: that every mouth may be stopped, and all the world may become guilty before God. Therefore by the deeds of the law there shall no flesh be justified in his sight: for by the law is the knowledge of sin. Rom 3:9-19
And Jesus said unto him, Why callest thou me good? there is none good but one, that is, God. Mark 10:18; Luke 18:19
But we are all as an unclean thing, and all our righteousnesses are as filthy rags; and we all do fade as a leaf; and our iniquities, like the wind, have taken us away. Isa 64:6
He that turneth away his ear from hearing the law, even his prayer shall be abomination. Proverbs 28:9
Even the “good” (by our standards) works we do are unclean before the Lord if we are not in right standing with Him.
We can do no good apart from Him

you do well to be offended
Let those who love the LORD hate evil, for he guards the lives of his faithful ones and delivers them from the hand of the wicked. Psalm 97:10
Love must be sincere. Hate what is evil; cling to what is good Romans 12:9
To fear the LORD is to hate evil; I hate pride and arrogance, evil behavior and perverse speech. Psalm 8:13
Neither shalt thou bring an abomination into thine house, lest thou be a cursed thing like it: but thou shalt utterly detest it, and thou shalt utterly abhor it; for it is a cursed thing. Deuteronomy 7:26
what is tragically lost in today’s world is a sense of moral outrage…
we have been desensitized to a point that nothing is offensive and anything goes…
God however has not changed His position on anything, His judgement and justice remains true an changes not…
we should not mistake as permissiveness God’s grace of allowing time for us to come to our senses and repent
God admonishes us in scripture to regard unclean things as an abomination, to abhor evil, and to keep it far from us
the surest way to keep from sin is for sin to be as much of an abomination, as offensive, as detestable, as much of an outrage to you as it is to God
if we truly are reborn as a child of God and have His nature within us, then the things that are an abomination to the Lord should be an abomination to us as well.
if we have the Holy Spirit indwelling within us, then the things that grieve Him should grieve us…
Love that is sincere, by nature hates evil…
if the sin that pervades the world does not bother you, then you would do well to examine yourself…
[The wicked] deviseth mischief upon his bed; he setteth himself in a way that is not good; he abhorreth not evil. Psalm 36:4

Fear
The only one worth fearing in this universe is God
If you put your trust in Yashua then you truly have nothing to fear
Fear not them who can destroy the body, but fear Him that can destroy both body and soul in hell.
If you are not in right standing with God (still stained with sin) you do right to fear
Fear is the beginning of wisdom
If you are in right standing with God (repented of your sin and received Yashua’s free gift) you have nothing to be afraid of…
Honesty
Honesty is preferred to a friendly lie
think positive?
where is the concept of positive and negative in the Bible?
the terms positive and negative are products of new age and eastern mysticism, and they reduce God to a ‘god of forces’, an impersonal energy that can be manipulated by our will… a ying yang dualism where everything has a good side and bad side…
positive and negative are subjective and we tend to identify things as positive if it is something that we like and negative if something uncomfortable… we like it because it places us in the judgement seat to determine what is good and what is bad…
The Bible on the other hand endorses the Truth as defined by God and speaking the Truth motivated by Love.
Truth is not positive or negative. Truth just is…
God determines what is good and bad, and He created everything good, but many things have been corrupted by sin and rebellion…
persecution from within
As we move further into the ‘end times’, we will continue to see increased persecution of true Biblical Christianity.
Before Christianity in general is persecuted, the popular ‘christian church’ will continue to elbow out and eventually come to openly persecute Bible believing Christians.
We see that one of the signs that a people have rejected God is that God gives them over to be slaves of their own lusts (Rom 1:24). The most evident sign of this is their acceptance and even promotion of homosexuality (Rom 1:32). The abomination of homosexuality (or to use the Biblical term: sodomy) will become the “litmus test” the popular ‘church’ will use to identify all those ‘evil’ fundamentalists.
The pagan roman catholic church is now considering changing its public stance on homosexuality and launched a study into ‘civil unions’. This of course is no big leap for an organization whose clergy is already made up of homosexuals and pedophiles.
We see this happening with so many of the protestant (reformed catholic) denominations normalizing the abomination of sodomy and even endorsing it by appointing sodomites to clergy positions and performing so-called ‘marriage’ ceremonies.
We see this happening within the non-denominational and ‘Charismatic’ circles as their new age practices “go to seed” and their “new revelations” seek to embrace everyone with their gospel of happiness and prosperity without a need for sin, repentance, and changing lifestyle preferences.
Also we see the current pope reaching out to the reformed catholic denominations, the non-denominational, as well as all other religions to join together in one big “it-doesn’t-matter-what-you-believe-as-long-as-you-kiss-the-ring-of-the-pontiff” tent.
Eventually, what few churches that do not advocate for homosexuality will loose their tax-exempt status for promoting hate speech and then eventually forbidden to operate publicly.
Anyone who stands on scripture and does not go along with the predominant view of the ‘church’ is already seen as a closed minded fundamentalist ‘hater’, and this viewpoint will only grow more polarized. Those who hold true to scripture will be further marginalized and vilified by those who call themselves ‘christian’ and think they do God a service…
These folks need to read Revelation 17:16 and keep in mind that once the harlot church has outlived its usefulness, the beast will turn on it and rend it to pieces.
