Thoughts to Grow On
David L Lamon
Does God hate? Did the prophets write as they were moved on by the Holy Ghost? What is the fear of the Lord? What does God think about remaining a virgin, rape, incest, forced marriage and divorce?
2 Peter 1:21 for the prophecy came not in old time by the will of man: but holy men of God spake as they were moved by the Holy Ghost.
Key Verse
Psalms 139:17-24 how precious also are thy thoughts unto me, O God! How great is the sum of them! If I should count them, they are more in number than the sand: when I awake, I am still with thee. Surely thou wilt slay the wicked, O God: depart from me therefore, ye bloody men. for they speak against thee wickedly, and thine enemies take thy name in vain. Do not I hate them, O LORD, that hate thee and am not I grieved with those that rise up against thee? I hate them with perfect hatred: I count them mine enemies. Search me, O God, and know my heart: try me, and know my thoughts: And see if there be any wicked way in me, and lead me in the way everlasting.
Fear of the Lord: Proverbs 8:13 the fear of the LORD is to hate evil: pride, and arrogancy, and the evil way, and the froward (stubbornly disobedient or contrary) mouth, do I hate. James 4:17 Therefore to him that knoweth to do good, and doeth it not, to him it is sin. Example: Those that use any excuse to not go to church and knowingly disobey what the word of God has to say about the subject. Hebrews 10:25 not forsaking the assembling of ourselves together, as the manner of some is; but exhorting one another: and so much the more, as ye see the day approaching.
1. Hosea 9:15 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters.
2. Malachi 1:3 And I hated Esau (Arabs), and laid his mountains and his heritage waste for the dragons of the wilderness.
3. Hosea 9:15-17 All their wickedness is in Gilgal: for there I hated them: for the wickedness of their doings I will drive them out of mine house, I will love them no more: all their princes are revolters. Ephraim is smitten, their root is dried up, they shall bear no fruit: yea, though they bring forth, yet will I slay even the beloved fruit of their womb. My God will cast them away, because they did not hearken unto him: and they shall be wanderers among the nations.
4. Revelation 2:6 but this thou hast, that thou hatest the deeds of the Nicolaitans, which I also hate.
5. Revelation 2:15 So hast thou also them that hold the doctrine of the Nicolaitans, which thing I hate.
6. Isaiah 61:8 for I the LORD love judgment, I hate robbery for burnt offering; and I will direct their work in truth, and I will make an everlasting covenant with them.
Note: There are no shortcuts to righteous living. Warning: Ephesians 4:14 That we henceforth be no more children, tossed to and fro, and carried about with every wind of doctrine, by the sleight of men, and cunning craftiness, whereby they lie in wait to deceive. These should be the most feared words to hear from the Lord for those that sincerely seek eternal life with the Lord. Luke 16:2 And he called him, and said unto him, How is it that I hear this of thee? give an account of thy stewardship; for thou mayest be no longer steward. Romans 14:12 So then every one of us shall give account of himself to God. 2 Timothy 2:15 Study to shew thyself approved unto God, a workman that needeth not to be ashamed, rightly dividing the word of truth. James 5:16 Confess your faults one to another, and pray one for another, that ye may be healed. The effectual fervent prayer of a righteous man availeth much. Isaiah 57:15 For thus saith the high and lofty One that inhabiteth eternity, whose name is Holy; I dwell in the high and holy place, with him also that is of a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble, and to revive the heart of the contrite ones. Proverbs 12:1-2 whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. A good man obtaineth favour of the LORD: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. Proverbs 1:5 a wise man will hear, and will increase learning; and a man of understanding shall attain unto wise counsels. Proverbs 1:7 the fear of the LORD is the beginning of knowledge: but fools despise wisdom and instruction.
What does God think about remaining a virgin, rape, incest, forced marriage and divorce?
Deuteronomy 22:13-30 If any man take a wife, and go in unto her, and hate her, And give occasions of speech against her, and bring up an evil name upon her, and say, I took this woman, and when I came to her, I found her not a maid (virgin). Then shall the father of the damsel, and her mother, take and bring forth the tokens of the damsel’s virginity unto the elders of the city in the gate: And the damsel’s father shall say unto the elders, I gave my daughter unto this man to wife, and he hateth her; And, lo, he hath given occasions of speech against her (lying about her virginity), saying, I found not thy daughter a maid; and yet these are the tokens of my daughter’s virginity. And they shall spread the cloth before the elders of the city. And the elders of that city shall take that man and chastise him; And they shall amerce (punish with a fine) him in an hundred shekels of silver, and give them unto the father of the damsel, because he hath brought up an evil name upon a virgin of Israel: and she shall be his wife; he may not put her away all his days. But if this thing be true, and the tokens of virginity be not found for the damsel: Then they shall bring out the damsel to the door of her father’s house, and the men of her city shall stone her with stones that she die: because she hath wrought folly in Israel, to play the whore in her father’s house: so shalt thou put evil away from among you. If a man be found lying with a woman married to an husband, then they shall both of them die, both the man that lay with the woman, and the woman: so shalt thou put away evil from Israel. If a damsel that is a virgin be betrothed unto an husband, and a man find her in the city, and lie with her; Then ye shall bring them both out unto the gate of that city, and ye shall stone them with stones that they die; the damsel, because she cried not, being in the city; and the man, because he hath humbled his neighbour’s wife: so thou shalt put away evil from among you. But if a man find a betrothed damsel in the field, and the man force her, and lie with her: then the man only that lay with her shall die: But unto the damsel thou shalt do nothing; there is in the damsel no sin worthy of death: for as when a man riseth against his neighbour, and slayeth him, even so is this matter: For he found her in the field, and the betrothed damsel cried, and there was none to save her. If a man find a damsel that is a virgin, which is not betrothed, and lay hold on her, and lie with her, and they be found; Then the man that lay with her shall give unto the damsel’s father fifty shekels of silver, and she shall be his wife; because he hath humbled her, he may not put her away all his days. A man shall not take his father’s wife, nor discover his father’s skirt.

Psalms 109:8 let his days be few
and let another take his office.
“Patriotism means to stand by the country
it does not mean to stand by the president
or any other public official save exactly
to the degree in which he himself stands by
the country. It is patriotic to support him
insofar as he efficiently serves the country.
It is unpatriotic not to oppose him to the
exact extent that by inefficiency or otherwise
he fails in his duty to stand by the country.”
U. S. Supreme Court Justice Robert Houghwout Jackson
put it simply: “It is not the function of our government
to keep the citizen from falling into error; it is the function
of the citizen to keep the government from falling into error.”
We the People are the rightful master of both congress and
the courts, “ said Abraham Lincoln, “not to overthrow the
Constitution, but to overthrow the men who pervert
the Constitution.
