“Wash yourselves purify yourselves, remove the evil of your deeds from before my eyes. Learn to do good, seek justice, vindicate the victim, render justice to the orphan, take up the grievance of the widow.”

We see part of this discussion quite clearly here. God is really angry at doing evil, and says to do good instead. He then defines some good things to do, that were not being done that rendered people evil. Specifically, being just and compassionate and sticking up for the victim, the widow and the orphan (the weakest members of society).

Conservapedia has warned me about evil, liberal interpreters of scripture like you!
/Just kidding

The only transgression that God can never forgive we claim, is taking his name in vain. It’s actually, in a way, worse than murder. This does not mean cussing.

The unforgivable sin is doing evil in His name - like claiming that He doesn’t want you striving for social justice while cloaking yourself as His representative. More on that point later, it is a recurring theme that religious hypocrites should be especially worried about - or would be, if they actually believed in the God of Jacob.

Excellent point, and one I’ve been trying to hammer home with some people for years. How is it that me, a non-religious person, can clearly understand this, yet so many faithful fail to see it?

Someone with a nic like “SpaceJesus” is not taking the lord’s name in vain, but if you watch the 700 club, you can see Pat Robertson do it several times a day.

Anywho, still not done reading this yet. Great so far.
