Arthur engaged in spiritual and physical fornication. God detests ignorance of His grace
you think In that sense, our children of God will never go to divination even out of curiosity.
You must not go, and you must never go to a heretical meeting. In fact, Eve was tempted by the serpent.
One of the reasons was because I was curious about the tree of knowledge.
The door to a place where false idols are worshiped or a heretical religious assembly is comfortable and wide

Once such a bad thing enters us, it is extremely difficult to get out.
We must never betray God's grace and visit idols' houses. sure
There is a chance to come back, but the price is too high. We are different from God's way
There should be no false and unreasonable spiritual greed. A heart that is 100% satisfied if there is only one God

2. It is fornication.
Because God hates our souls and our hearts from committing spiritual fornication, our bodies
He also hates committing fornication. Look at verse 8 of the text. “They are fat and go about
Like horses, each one cries after his neighbor's wife.” God especially forbids coveting a neighbor's wife.
You detest it. Because it is not only the sin of adultery, but it is also the institution that God Himself has established, the family.

According to verse 9, God must punish such a sin, and even half of the countries where such adultery is prevalent.
He says he will punish you. According to 1 Corinthians 5:6, Paul calls fornication leaven.

It spreads. Drugs, alcohol, gambling, and dancing. once you touch
It keeps spreading.
A certain butler was a renter, and one day, after a man came in, how much

Whenever I have time, I put on music and practice dancing, so it is difficult to read the Bible and pray.
I asked the pastor for counseling because it was hard and my head was aching. But after a few months she
It is said that the butler had an affair with the dance teacher and ran away.
Believers can do the same. But stronger than dancing, stronger than drugs, and stronger than gambling

Families are broken, society is broken, and the country is also broken. So Sodom and Gomorrah fell, and Rome's form
Pay was also ruined. God hates fornication more than any other act. Fornication goes to hardship

3. The words of false prophets.
Look at verse 12 of the text. “They do not acknowledge the Lord, and say, The Lord is
Since we are not gods, no calamity will come upon us, nor shall we see swords and famines.
and.” In spite of the great sin of Judah at that time, false prophets spoke to the people with cowardice.
He lied that God's disaster would not come.
As people flock to such false prophets, such cults are revived, while
Jeremiah, who prophesied that everything would be destroyed, never had a day when he was misunderstood, persecuted, and his tears dried up.

“It’s okay! God loves us! Nothing will happen!”
This is the voice of Satan. As we continue to sin, there is no judgment of God.
In the end, the act of thinking that God exists is an act of not acknowledging that God exists.
God judges, and even if there is a limit to restore, He will always judge sin. therefore
With a heart of repentance before God, avoiding even one more sin and one day sooner

All. If we turn away from God's word, Satan's voice will be heard loudly, and we will
If you draw near to the Word, Satan's voice will be silenced.
God gives you another chance
In verses 14-17, the people of Judah were condemned to the Gentiles by committing such a sin that God detested.
It prophesies that it will be completely destroyed. God loves sinners, but lets sin
You don't see it. Therefore, if you partner with sin, you will surely receive terrible punishment.

He is the God who cuts down the branches, but leaves the stumps behind.
Look at verse 18 of the text. “Even then, says the LORD, I will destroy you.
