Is there a part in the bible the speaks of cheating or dealing with one another honostly?

Thanks alot and God Bless.

Deuteronomy 25:15-16
You must have accurate and honest weights and measures, so that you may live long in the land the LORD your God is giving you. For the LORD your God detests anyone who does these things, anyone who deals dishonestly.

Leviticus 19:11
Do not steal.
Do not lie.
Do not deceive one another.

Leviticus 19:35-36a
Do not use dishonest standards when measuring length, weight or quantity. Use honest scales and honest weights, an honest ephah and an honest hin.

Proverbs 16:11
Honest scales and balances are from the LORD;
all the weights in the bag are of his making.

Dear IbanezUser


The above posts have answered your question but has raised another question.


Why aren't you reading GOD'S WORD. There is no short cut to receiving the message HE has for you.


If your going on a long trip to an unknown destination you will read a map in order to get there. Well the Bible is your road map to the KINGDOM of ALMIGHTY GOD.


You will never be sorry you did. Read it as many times as it takes that you will know what it's going to say next time. Then it is locked in your heart.


You will draw from this for the rest of your life.


DO IT AND REMEMBER:





X Even though you can't see him, GOD is there!!! O

Ibanezuser,

As a result, we are no longer to be children, tossed here and there by waves and carried about by every wind of doctrine, by the trickery of men, by craftiness in deceitful scheming; 15but speaking the truth in love, we are to grow up in all aspects into Him who is the head, even Christ,
(Eph. 4:14, 15 NAS)

Even if everybody else does it, we are not to.
If someone steals your coat give him also your shirt.

Forgive your brother 7 x 70 was in response to Peter trying to get by with as little as possible or be slightly better than your average Jew. We are to go above and beyond in matters of honesty and Love.

Leave him alone, he's got better things to do than sift through countless material to find one verse.

Dear Lumen

Might you give me an idea of just what these better thing are???


Is your idea of reading GOD'S WORD as:

" sift through countless material "


I know your very young and lack TRUTH, WISDOM, and UNDERSTANDING but it is by reading GOD'S WORD that we GROW.


If you just read 2 pages a day and more if possible you will find GOD'S WORD is NOT countless.


EVEN WHEN YOUR VERY YOUNG YOU NEED TO REMEMBER:





X Even though you can't see him, GOD is there!!! O

No, but when you're trying to locate one specific verse, it is a waste of time to look through at least 1000 pages to try and find what you're looking for.

Dear Lumen


It can and should NEVER call looking through GOD'S WORD a waste of time!!!


You can not give GOD'S WORD to much reverence!!!

Guys you don't got fight about it. We are all in one body and that is the body of Christ. The Bible say's if it be possible live Peaceably with all men.

Also in James 4:6 and 1Peter 5:5 it's Say's

that, "God resisth the Proud and Gives Grace to the Humble." Let's put down our pride so we can be a good witness to Christ, and that we can stop the foolish utterance of men, by good works, As the bible says.

God Bless you's, and remeber the words of Jesus, when he said to forgive your Brother, when you pray so that God can forgive you

But if you don't forgive your brother neither with God forgive you. Jesus never said it will be easy to do this but the way he puts it it's very simple and plain.

Dear IbanezUser

Where do you find a fight???


If what your referring to is:
" an elder instructing the young " a fight you are very mistaken.

Haha, "elder instructing the young". You can have your opinion, but regardless of it being God's word I still say it's a waste of time. Not a waste of time to read it, but if you're looking for a specific verse it's a waste of time to look through the whole bible, something that could take hours, to find that one verse. Maybe you have limitless time to waste, but some of us don't.
