Amo 5:12-14 For I know your manifold transgressions and your mighty sins: they afflict the just, they take a bribe, and they turn aside the poor in the gate from their right. 13 Therefore the prudent shall keep silence in that time; for it is an evil time. 14 Seek good, and not evil, that ye may live: and so the LORD, the God of hosts, shall be with you, as ye have spoken. 1 Like |

<< Matthew 5:25 >> "Settle matters quickly with your adversary who is taking you to court. Do it while you are still with him on the way, or he may hand you over to the judge, and the judge may hand you over to the officer, and you may be thrown into prison. 1 Like |

"A secret gift calms anger; a bribe under the table pacifies fury." Proverbs 21:14 (NLT) ''In this meaningless life of mine I have seen both of these: the righteous perishing in their righteousness, and the wicked living long in their wickedness. Do not be overrighteous, neither be overwise— why destroy yourself?'' Ecclesiastes 7:15-16 ''A man’s gift maketh room for him, and bringeth him before great men.'' Proverbs 18:16 'God' Bribed Abraham by promising to bless Abraham and make Abraham’s descendants a great nation and to give Abraham and his family the land of Canaan (Genesis 12:1-7). 'Jesus' Bribed His Hearers. He bribed people, not with money, but with the assurance of eternal life/salvation/treasure in heaven to get people to obey ''God'’s commandments (Matthew 19:16-26), to give alms to the poor (Matthew 6:3-4), to pray and fast (Matthew 6:7-18), to repent (Matthew 4:17) to be baptized with water and in the Spirit (John 3:5, 6:53), and to believe in 'Jesus' (John 3:16). See my “What Must I Do to Be Saved?” Freethought Perspective, Volume 3, (Number 8, April 2003) pp. 2-3; reprinted in my Sweet Jesus, Volume Two, pp. 175-179, published in 2004 by The Flatwoods Free Press, 750 Lum Fife Road, Gordo, AL 35466-3357. ![]() ![]() |

^^^@Rossikk, Thanks for bringing that up. King Solomon said all that because he was talking from experience and wisdom of handling worldly issues! However, it still doesn't still change the fact that the Lord hates bribery, corruption and injustice with passion!! The world is given in the hands of the wicked (Job 9:24), so the wisdom of handling worldly things is always different from the wisdom of doing godly things! Same Solomon says: Ecclesiastes 8:11 Because sentence against an evil work is not executed speedily, therefore the heart of the sons of men is fully set in them to do evil. Also the Prophet Habakkuk said: Habakkuk 1:4 Therefore the law is paralyzed, and justice never prevails. The wicked hem in the righteous, so that justice is perverted. |
