📌 1 Corinthians 10:
👉²¹ You cannot drink the cup of the Lord and the cup of demons👈👹; you cannot be partakers of the Lord's table and the table of demons.
²² Or will we anger the Lord? Are we stronger than him?
🚨²³ All things are lawful for me, but not all things are good; All things are lawful for me, but not all things edify.⚠️
²⁴ No one seeks their own advantage; rather each one what belongs to another.
²⁵ Eat everything that is sold at the butcher's, without asking anything, for the sake of conscience.
²⁶ For the earth is the Lord's and all its fullness.
²⁷ And if any of the unbelievers invite you, and you want to go, eat everything that is set before you, without asking anything, for the sake of conscience.
🚨⚠️👉²⁸ But if anyone says to you: This was sacrificed to idols👈,
👉👉👉do not eat👈👈👈👈, because of him who warned you and because of conscience; for the earth is the Lord's, and all the fulness thereof.
²⁹ I say, however, conscience, not yours, but that of the other. So why should my freedom be judged by someone else's conscience?
1 Corinthians 10:21-29
We live in a world where we have to defend the OBVIOUS!!!

The folly of idolatry
⁶ Thus says the Lord, King and Redeemer of Israel, the Lord of hosts:
"I am the First and the Last;
there is no other God.
⁷ Who is similar to me?
Let him present himself in front of me!
Let him do what I have done since ancient times,
when I established a people and announced their future.
⁸ Do not tremble, do not be afraid;
Did I not announce my purposes to you a long time ago?
You are my witnesses: is there another God besides me?
At the! There is no other Rock, not even one!"
⁹ How foolish are those who make idols!
These objects that you cherish so much have no value at all.
Those who worship idols do not know this,
therefore they will be ashamed.
¹⁰ Who but a fool would make his own god,
an idol that can't help you in any way?
¹¹ All who worship idols will be put to shame,
as well as all these artisans,
simple mortals who say they are capable of making a god.
Even if they join forces,
they will be united in terror and shame.
¹² The blacksmith works in the forge to create a sharp tool;
he hammers and shapes with all his might.
From working so hard, he feels hungry and weak,
he becomes thirsty and faint.
¹³ The sculptor, in turn, measures a block of wood
and draw a sketch on it.
He works with a chisel and plane
and he carves the image of a person.
Gives the image of human beauty
and places it in a small sanctuary.
¹⁴ he cuts cedars,
choose cypress and oak,
plant a pine tree in the woods,
so that the rain makes it grow.
¹⁵ Then, he uses part of the wood to make fire
and with it he heats and bakes bread.
Then he takes what's left
and makes himself a god to worship.
He makes an idol
and bows before him.
¹⁶ he burns part of the tree to roast meat,
eat and stay warm.
“What a good fire!” he says.
"I don't feel cold anymore!"
¹⁷ So he takes what's left
and makes his god: a carved idol.
He bows down before him and worships him,
pray to him and say:
"Deliver me,
for you are my god!"
¹⁸ How much stupidity and ignorance!
His eyes are closed, and he can't see,
his mind is closed, and he cannot understand.
¹⁹ He who made the idol does not stop and think:
"I burned half the wood to keep warm
and to bake bread and meat;
How is it possible for the rest to be a god?
Am I going to bow down to worship a piece of wood?"
²⁰ Such a person feeds on ashes and deceives himself,
he trusts in something that cannot help her in any way.
And yet he is unable to ask:
"Isn't this idol I have in my hands a lie?"
# Restoration to Jerusalem
²¹ "Pay attention, O Jacob,
for you are my servant, O Israel.
I, the Lord, formed him
and I won't forget you.
²² I have driven away your sins like a cloud;
I have dispersed their evils, like the morning mist.
Come back to me,
for I paid the price of your ransom."
²³ Sing, O heavens, for the Lord has done this wonder!
Shout for joy, O depths of the earth!
Break out into songs,
O mountains, forests and all trees!
For the Lord rescued Jacob
and he is glorified in Israel.
²⁴ Thus says the Lord,
your Redeemer and Creator:
"I am the Lord, who made all things;
alone I stretched out the heavens.
Who was with me
When did I create the earth?
²⁵ I show that false prophets are liars
and I make fortune tellers look like fools.
I make the wise men make their predictions wrong
and thus I prove that they are foolish.
²⁶ But I fulfill the predictions of my prophets!
Through them I say to Jerusalem:
‘This place will be inhabited again’,
and to the cities of Judah:
‘You will be rebuilt;
I will restore all its bad things.’
²⁷ When I say to the rivers: ‘Dry’,
they will dry up.
²⁸ When I say about Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd,’
he will certainly do whatever I want.
He will say: ‘Rebuild Jerusalem!’
and he will command: ‘Restore the temple!’ ".
Isaiah 44:6-28
In the Bible, sin means 'missing the mark'. Sin is transgressing, rebelling, disobeying God, not following his perfect standard. Due to sin, everyone was separated from God and condemned to the sad consequence of death. Sin is the cause why there is evil in the world.
Whoever lives in sin is a slave to sin and does the will of the Devil, the father of sin. Our flesh is weak and prone to error. However, God sent Jesus to free us from sin. Jesus never sinned, but He offered Himself as payment for our sins.
Now whoever receives Jesus as his Savior and lives a life separated from evil is free from the power of evil. Whoever lives with Christ will no longer be a slave to sin, and will be united once again with God!
When you sin, confess and abandon evil, God is faithful and just to forgive and purify your life.
Therefore, think about this: Whoever knows he should do good and does not do it commits sin.
James 4:17
Each one, however, is tempted by his own evil desire, being dragged and seduced by it. Then this desire, having conceived, gives birth to sin, and sin, after being consummated, gives birth to death.
James 1:14-15
Everyone who practices sin transgresses the Law; in fact, sin is the transgression of the Law.
1 John 3:4
If we claim that we are without sin, we deceive ourselves, and the truth is not in us. If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness.
1 John 1:8-9
We know that the Law is spiritual; I, however, am not, for I was sold as a slave to sin. I don't understand what I'm doing. For I do not do what I desire, but what I hate. And if I do what I do not wish, I admit that the Law is good. In this case, it is no longer me who does it, but the sin that lives within me.
Romans 7:14-17
When he comes, he will convince the world of sin, righteousness and judgment. From sin, because men do not believe in me;
John 16:8-9
Who hides their sins
does not prosper,
but whoever confesses them and abandons them
find mercy.
Proverbs 28:13
Then I recognized before you my sin
and I did not cover up my faults.
I said, "I will confess my transgressions",
to the Lord,
and you forgave the guilt of my sin.
Psalms 32:5
Against you, only you, I have sinned
and I did what you disapprove,
so that fair is your sentence
and you are right to condemn me. I know that I have been a sinner since I was born;
yes, since my mother conceived me. I know you desire the truth deep down;
and in my heart you teach me wisdom. Purify me with hyssop, and I will be pure;
wash me, and I will be whiter than snow. Make me hear joy and joy again,
and the bones you crushed will rejoice. Hide the face of my sins
and blot out all my iniquities.
Psalms 51:4-9
We are like the unclean - all of us!
All our acts of righteousness
they are like filthy rags.
We wither like leaves,
and like the wind our iniquities
take us far away.
Isaiah 64:6
for all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God,
Romans 3:23

forgive my sin, which is so great!

Absolve me from those I don't know!

"If your brother sins against you, go and, alone with him, show him his error. If he hears you, you have won your brother.
Matthew 18:15
Therefore, do not allow sin to continue dominating your mortal body, making you obey its desires. Do not offer the members of your body to sin as instruments of unrighteousness; rather offer yourselves to God as one who has returned from death to life; and offer the members of your body to him as instruments of righteousness. For sin will not dominate you, because you are not under the Law, but under grace. And then? Will we sin because we are not under the Law, but under grace? In no way! Don't you know that when you offer yourselves to someone to obey them as slaves, you become slaves to the one you obey: slaves to the sin that leads to death, or to the obedience that leads to righteousness? But thank God, because, although you were slaves to sin, you began to obey from the heart the form of teaching that was transmitted to you. You have been freed from sin and have become slaves of righteousness.
Romans 6:12-18
Therefore, confess your sins to one another and pray for one another to be healed. The prayer of a righteous man is powerful and effective.
James 5:16
Brethren, if anyone is overtaken in any sin, you who are spiritual must restore him with gentleness. But take care, each one, lest he be tempted either. Bear each other's heavy burdens and thus fulfill the law of Christ.
Galatians 6:1-2
But if anyone causes one of these little ones who believe in me to sin, it would be better for him to have a millstone hung around his neck and to be drowned in the depths of the sea.
Matthew 18:6
We know that whoever is born of God is not in sin; he who was born of God protects him, and the Evil One does not reach him.
1 John 5:18
If you forgive someone's sins, they are forgiven; If you don't forgive them, you won't be forgiven."
