Sin

How does Proverbs 6:17 sit with your often expressed conviction that ALL 'shedding of blood' is "sin"? Can 6:17 perhaps be used to justify killing in self-defence, fighting in a just war, and executing people for crimes?

So.... How does Proverbs 6:17 sit with your often expressed conviction that ALL 'shedding of blood' is "sin"? Can 6:17 perhaps be used to justify killing in self-defence, fighting in a just war, and executing people for crimes?

Thankfully it is a small world nowadays; much easier to stay in touch. How did we cope before the internet?

"Proverbs 6: 17 "Haughty eyes" represents mental attitude arrogance or a presumption of competitive superiority [which inevitably leads to self absorption; self centeredness; and inordinate pride]. The sin of arrogance is the root sin of other sins and destroys the possibility of daily relationship with God. (to be continued)

God detests all mental, verbal and overt activities that violate His Character and Righteous Standards.
The magnitude of seven particular sins listed in Proverbs 6:16-19 dispels any and all shallow views of sin
as a few blatant overt sins or cultural taboos. (to be continued)

"16. There are six things which the Lord hates,
Yes, seven which are an abomination to Him:

17. Haughty eyes, a lying tongue,
And hands that shed innocent blood,

18. A heart that devises wicked plans,
Feet that run rapidly to evil,

19. A false witness who utters lies,
And one who spreads strife among brothers."

Proverbs 6:18 "A heart that devises wicked plans, feet that run rapidly to evil." Comments: "A heart" in the Koine Greek of the New Testament is kardia which is the rational mentality of the soul. / "devises wicked plans": refers to the activity of plotting ways to retaliate which is the mental attitude sin of revenge tactics and schemes. / "feet that run rapidly to evil" describes those who follow the lust patterns of their sin nature into all manner of evil. Such carnal believers [failure to utilize 1John 1:9 and to grow in grace] lack self restraint and/or self discipline; they ultimately revel in their deceit deeds and treachery. (to be continued)
