SINS ARE ALWAYS SINS  

 

    The following is a list of sins that violate God's moral code.  This list was handed out years ago at services, and I do not know who to give credit to. I have added the New King James Version to the list. Examine your life against the list.

(Scriptures are from the Easy to Read Version and the New King James Version)

Romans 1:24-32

Lesbianism and Homosexuality

 Lying   Do not obey parents  

Mind filled with Evil  

Thinking worst about others Being foolish  

Selfishness and Hatred  

Gossip   Do not keep promises  

Jealousy  

Hating God    Show no kindness or mercy  
Murder   Being Rude and Conceited   Continue in wrong things and think they are doing right  
Fighting   Inventing ways of Evil    


Easy to Read Version
     People were full of sin, wanting only to do evil things.  So God left them and let them go their sinful way.  And so they became full of sexual sins, using their bodies wrongly with each other.  Those people traded the truth of God for a lie.  Those people worshipped and served things that were made.  But people did not worship and serve the God who made those things.  God should be praised forever.  Amen.

     Because people did those things, God left them and let them do the shameful things they wanted to do.  Women stopped having natural sex with men.  They started having sex with other women.  In the same way, men stopped having natural sex with women.  The men began wanting each other all the time.  Men did shameful things with other men.  And in their bodies they received the punishment for those wrong things they did.

     People did not think it was important to have a true knowledge of God.  So God left them and allowed those people to have their own worthless thinking.  And so those people do the things that they should not do.  Those people are filled with every kind of sin, evil, selfishness, and hatred.  Those people are full of jealousy, murder, fighting, lying, and thinking the worst things about each other.  Those people gossip and say evil things about each other.  Those people hate God.  They are rude and conceited and boast about themselves.  Those people invent ways of doing evil.  They don't obey their parents, they are foolish, they don't keep their promises, and they show no kindness or mercy to other people.  Those people know God's law.  They know that God's law says that people that live like this should die.  But they continue to do these wrong things.  And they also feel that people who do these things are doing right.

New King James
     Therefore God also gave them up to uncleanness, in the lusts of their hearts, to dishonor their bodies among themselves, who exchanged the truth of God for the lie, and worshipped and served the creature rather than the Creator, who is blessed forever. Amen. For this reason God gave them up to vile passions. For even their women exchanged the natural use for what is against nature. Likewise also the men, leaving the natural use of the woman, burned in their lust for one another, men with men committing what is shameful, and receiving in themselves the penalty of their error which was due. And even as they did not like to retain God in their knowledge, God gave them over to a debased mind, to do those things which are not fitting; being filled with all unrighteousness, sexual immorality, wickedness, covetousness, maliciousness; full of envy, murder, strife, deceit, evil-mindedness; they are whisperers, backbiters, haters of God, violent, proud, boasters, inventors of evil things, disobedient to parents, undiscerning, untrustworthy, unloving, unforgiving, unmerciful; who, knowing the righteous judgment of God, that those who practice such things are worthy of death, not only do the same but also approve of those who practice them.

Galatians 5:19-21

     Being sexually unfaithful to spouse

Doing witchcraft   Making people mad at each other  
Not being pure   Hating others   Causing division  
Doing sexual sins (fornication)   Making trouble Having envy  
Acting outrageously, excessively, and without shame - unbridled lust   Having Jealousy     Being Drunk  
  Worshipping false gods    Being Angry   Having wild and wasteful parties  


Easy to Read Version
     The wrong things our sinful self does are clear: being sexually unfaithful, not being pure, doing sexual sins, worshipping false gods, doing witchcraft, hating, making trouble, having jealousy, being very angry, being selfish, making people mad at each other, making divisions, having envy, being drunk, having wild and wasteful parties, and doing other things like this.  I warn you now like I warned you before: The people who do these things will not be in God's kingdom.

New King James
     Now the works of the flesh are evident, which are: adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lewdness, idolatry, sorcery, hatred, contentions, jealousies, outbursts of wrath, selfish ambitions, dissensions, heresies, envy, murders, drunkenness, revelries, and the like; of which I tell you beforehand, just as I also told you in time past, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God.

Colossians 3:5-9
Sexual sins The wanting of evil things   Doing and saying things to hurt  
The doing of evil   Selfishly wanting more and more   Using evil words when you talk  
Letting evil thoughts control you Anger and being very mad   Lying to each other  


 Easy to Read Version
     So put all evil things out of your life; sexual sinning, doing evil, letting evil thoughts control you, wanting things that are evil, and always selfishly wanting more and more.  This wanting really means to live serving a false god.  These things make God angry.  In your evil life in the past, you also did these things.             But now put these things out of your life; anger, being very mad, doing or saying things to hurt other people, and  using evil words when you talk.  Don't lie to each other. Why?  Because you have left your old sinful life and the things you did before.

New King James
     Therefore put to death your members which are on the earth: fornication, uncleanness, passion, evil desire, and covetousness, which is idolatry. Because of these things the wrath of God is coming upon the sons of disobedience, in which you yourselves once walked when you lived in them. But now you yourselves are to put off all these: anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy language out of your mouth. Do not lie to one another, since you have put off the old man with his deeds

Ephesians 4:25-32
Lying    Saying bad things   Sayings things to hurt  
Stealing Bitterness Being angry and mad  
  Shouting angrily    


Easy to Read Version
     So you must stop telling lies. You must always speak the truth to each other, because we all belong to each other in the same body. When you become angry, don't let that anger make you sin. And don't continue to be angry all day. Don't give the devil a way to defeat you. If a person is stealing, he must stop stealing. That person just start working. He must use his hands for doing something good. Then he will have something to share with those people who are poor.

      When you talk, don't say any bad things.  But say things that people need-things that help other people become stronger.  Then the things you will help the people who listen to you.  And don't make the Holy Spirit sad.  The Spirit is God's proof that you belong to God.  God gave you that Spirit to show that God will make you free at the right time.  Never be bitter or angry or mad.  Never shout angrily or say things to hurt other people.  Never do anything evil.  Be kind and loving to each other.  Forgive each other the same as God forgave you in Christ.  

New King James
      Therefore, putting away lying, "Let each one of you speak truth with his neighbor," for we are members of one another. "Be angry, and do not sin": do not let the sun go down on your wrath, nor give place to the devil. Let him who stole steal no longer, but rather let him labor, working with his hands what is good, that he may have something to give him who has need. Let no corrupt word proceed out of your mouth, but what is good for necessary edification, that it may impart grace to the hearers. And do not grieve the Holy Spirit of God, by whom you were sealed for the day of redemption. Let all bitterness, wrath, anger, clamor, and evil speaking be put away from you, with all malice. And be kind to one another, tenderhearted, forgiving one another, just as God in Christ forgave you.

Ephesians 5:3-5
Sexual sins   Greed or selfishness   Wanting more and more (False god)
Impurity and all evil   Evil talking   Drunkenness  


Easy to Read Version
     But there must be no sexual sin among you.  There must be any kind of evil or greed (selfishness).  Why?  Because those things are not right for God's holy people.  Also, there must be no evil talk among you.  You must not speak foolishly or tell evil jokes.  These things are not right for you.  But you should be giving thanks to God  You can be sure of this: No person will have a place in the kingdom of Christ and of God if that person does sexual sins, or does evil things, or is a person who always wants more and more for himself.  A person who always wants more and more for himself is serving a false god.  

New King James
     But fornication and all uncleanness or covetousness, let it not even be named among you, as is fitting for saints; neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor coarse jesting, which are not fitting, but rather giving of thanks. For this you know, that no fornicator, unclean person, nor covetous man, who is an idolater, has any inheritance in the kingdom of Christ and God.

2 Timothy 3:1-9
  Love of self and money   Have no love for others     Are angry and mean and hate good things  
Boastful and proud   Refuse to forgive others   Turn against friends  
Say bad things against others   Will speak bad things      Are conceited and proud  
Are not thankful   Will not control self   Love pleasure  
  Do not love God   They act like they serve God but the way they live shows they do not serve God    


Easy to Read Version
     Remember this!  There will be many troubles in the last days.  In those times people will love only themselves and money.  The will be boastful and proud.  People will say bad thing against other people.  People will not obey their parents.  People will not be thankful.  They will not be the kind of people God wants.  People will not have love for other people.  They will refuse to forgive other people, and they will speak bad things.  People will not control themselves.  They will be angry and mean and will hate things that are good.  In the last days people will turn against their friends.  They will do foolish things without thinking.  They will be conceited and proud.  People will love pleasure-they will not love God.  Those people will continue to act like they serve God.  But the way they live shows that they don't really serve God.  Timothy, stay away from those people.  Some of those people go into homes and get women who are weak.  Those women are full of sin.  Those women are led to sin by the many evil things they want to do.  Those women always try to learn new teachings, but they are never able to fully understand the truth.  Remember Jannes and Jambres.  They were against Moses.  It is the same with these people.  They are against the truth.  They are people whose thinking has been confused.  They have failed in trying to follow the faith.  But they will not be successful in the things they do.  All the people will see that they are foolish.  That is what happened to Jannes and Jambres.  

New King James
     But know this, that in the last days perilous times will come: For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, boasters, proud, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, unholy, unloving, unforgiving, slanderers, without self-control, brutal, despisers of good, traitors, headstrong, haughty, lovers of pleasure rather than lovers of God, having a form of godliness but denying its power. And from such people turn away! For of this sort are those who creep into households and make captives of gullible women loaded down with sins, led away by various lusts, always learning and never able to come to the knowledge of the truth. Now as Jannes and Jambres resisted Moses, so do these also resist the truth: men of corrupt minds, disapproved concerning the faith; but they will progress no further, for their folly will be manifest to all, as theirs also was.

1 Peter 4:2-3
Doing the evil things people want done Drunkenness   Drunken parties  
Wasting time in doing the things of the unbeliever   Wild and wasteful parties   Worshipping idols  


Easy to Read Version
     Strengthen yourselves, so that you will live your lives here on earth doing what God wants, not doing the evil things that people want.  In the past you wasted too much time doing the things that the non-believers like to do.  You were doing sexual sins.  You were doing the evil things you wanted.  You were becoming drunk, having wild and wasteful parties, having drunken parties and doing wrong by worshipping idols (false gods).  

New King James
     that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God. For we have spent enough of our past lifetime in doing the will of the Gentiles-- when we walked in lewdness, lusts, drunkenness, revelries, drinking parties, and abominable idolatries.

1 Corinthians 6:9-10
Sin sexually   Worship idols   Adultery  
Lesbianism and Homosexuality   Stealing   Are Selfish  
Get drunk   Say bad things to other people   Cheat  


Easy to Read Version
      Surly you know that the people that do wrong will not get God's kingdom.  Don't be fooled.  These people will not get God's kingdom;  people that do the sin of adultery, men that let other men use them for sex or that have sex with other men, people that steal, people that are selfish, people that get drunk, people that say bad things to other people, and people that cheat.  

New King James
     Do you not know that the unrighteous will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived. Neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor homosexuals, nor sodomites, nor thieves, nor covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor extortioners will inherit the kingdom of God.
