The List of Sins & Commands!

The List of Sins & Commands[Unfinished]:

Note: Some sins & commands no longer apply yet we still have them on this list; if a sin or command no longer applies it will have a "〤". A "✔" means the opposite, that Christians today must follow it. Read on why we must follow or do not have to follow a law here; however, some will have specific context as to why or why not.

Genesis:

〤 "And God said, Let there be light: and there was light," (Genesis 1:3 KJV).

Commentary: At the beginning of the universe, God made light. This light is assumed to be the sun, or perhaps more broadly stars or the concept of light. As this command was directed to the universe itself, we clearly cannot follow it.  

〤 "And God said, Let there be a firmament in the midst of the waters, and let it divide the waters from the waters," (Genesis 1:6 KJV).

Deuteronomy:

✔ "They shall say to the elders of his city, ‘This son of ours is stubborn and rebellious, he will not obey us, he is a glutton and a drunkard.’ Then all the men of his city shall stone him to death; so you shall remove the evil from your midst, and all Israel will hear of it and fear," (Deuteronomy 21:20-21 NASB1995). 

Commentary: In the Bible, the punishment for gluttony is a high one. As the book of Deuteronomy says, stoning is a valid punishment for this offense, but why? We must remember the cultural context of these statements. In ancient times, and even now in some small towns, it was and is common for food to be low. In such societies, one must be careful with food distribution or else the people are to starve. The reason the Bible is so harsh is if a person was a glutton and ate much, they could starve people which of course is quite evil.

1st Samuel:

✔ "For rebellion is as the sin of witchcraft, and stubbornness is as iniquity and idolatry. Because thou hast rejected the word of the Lord, he hath also rejected thee from being king," (1 Samuel 15:23 KJV).

Commentary: As this verse is in the Old Testament it would normally no longer apply; however, we see this command too all throughout the New Testament making it required. Other verses: 2 Chronicles 33:6, Micah 5:12, & Galatians 5:19-21.

2nd Chronicles:

✔  "And he caused his children to pass through the fire in the valley of the son of Hinnom: also he observed times, and used enchantments, and used witchcraft, and dealt with a familiar spirit, and with wizards: he wrought much evil in the sight of the Lord, to provoke him to anger," (2 Chronicles 33:6 KJV). 

Commentary: As this verse is in the Old Testament it would normally no longer apply; however, we see this command too all throughout the New Testament making it required. Other verses: 1 Samuel 15:23, Micah 5:12, & Galatians 5:19-21.

Micah:

✔ "And I will cut off witchcrafts out of thine hand; and thou shalt have no more soothsayers," (Micah 5:12 KJV).

Commentary: As this verse is in the Old Testament it would normally no longer apply; however, we see this command too all throughout the New Testament making it required. Other verses: 2 Chronicles 33:6, 1 Samuel 15:23, & Galatians 5:19-21.

Galatians:

 ✔ "Now the works of the flesh are manifest, which are these; Adultery, fornication, uncleanness, lasciviousness, Idolatry, witchcraft, hatred, variance, emulations, wrath, strife, seditions, heresies, Envyings, murders, drunkenness, revellings, and such like: of the which I tell you before, as I have also told you in time past, that they which do such things shall not inherit the kingdom of God," (Galatians 5:19-21 KJV).

Other verses: 2 Chronicles 33:6, 1 Samuel 15:23, & Micah 5:12.
