 Seven Deadly Sins - Greed



Source: Jupiter Images


Greed (Latin: avaritia), also known as avarice, cupidity, or covetousness, is, like lust and gluttony, a sin of desire. However, greed (as seen by the Church) is applied to an artificial, rapacious desire and pursuit of material possessions. [WIKI]


Greed is an excessive pursuit of material goods.

The Bible says the following in Hebrews 13:5, “Let your conduct be without covetousness; be content with such things as you have. For He Himself has said, ‘I will never leave you nor forsake you.’”

Other biblical texts which mention greed include: Exodus 20:17, Proverbs 11:24, Proverbs 28:25, Ecclesiastes 5:10, Philippians 4:6 and 1 Timothy 6:9-10.

Charity cures greed by putting the desire to help others above storing up treasure for one’s self.




THEIR PUNISHMENT:-


Greedy people--those guilty of committing the deadly sin of greed--will be punished in hell by being boiled alive in oil for all eternity. There doesn't seem to be any connection between the sin of greed and the punishment of being boiled in oil unless of course they are being boiled in rare, expensive oil.

 101 Things To Do Before You Die last week, I was surfing the internet as usual, just click the link casually, I came across someone's bucket list . It inspired me to create my own bucket list, and also write a post about it to share to others.   What is a bucket list ??? Maybe, you have never heard of the term “bucket list”.  Bucket list a list of all the goals you want to achieve, dreams you want to fulfill, and life experiences you wish to experience before you die . Yes, it is a list about the things that you would to do before you die.  maybe you think DIE is far far from you,  but I want to tell you, DIE is always at your side,  no matter where are you, how old are you, you may die tomorrow.  Please cherish you life. Please cherish you health.  Why Create a Bucket List? If you don’t live your days by goals and plans, chances are that you spend most of your time caught in a flurry of day-to-day activities...

 Seven Deadly Sins - Pride Source: Jupiter Images Pride (Latin: superbia) is considered, on almost every list, the original and most serious of the seven deadly sins. [WIKI] Pride is an excessive view of one's self without regard for others. The Bible says the following in Jeremiah 9:23-24, “...Let not the mighty man boast of his might...but let him who boasts boast of this, that he understands and knows Me...” Pride is also mentioned in the following verses: Proverbs 8:13, Proverbs 16:18, Romans 12:16, 1 Corinthians 13:4, Galatians 6:3 and James 4:6-7. Humility cures pride by removing one's ego and boastfulness, therefore allowing the attitude of service. THEIR PUNISHMENT:- Prideful people--those guilty of committing the deadly sin of pride--are said to be punished in hell by being "broken on the wheel.
