The Punishment of the Great Prostitute
Then one of the seven angels with the seven bowls came and said to me, “Come, I will show you the punishment of the great prostitute, who sits on many waters. The kings of the earth were immoral with her, and those who dwell on the earth were intoxicated with the wine of her immorality.” — Revelation 17:1-2 | Berean Reader's Bible (BRB) The Reader’s Bible © 2020 by Bible Hub and Berean Bible.

Flee from youthful lusts. 2 Timothy 2:22
To flee in Greek means to run to the point of vanishing. You run so far from the temptation that you can’t even see it any more. This truth is so simple, yet so profound! It’s also the area where so many stumble. When faced with temptation, many run a little – but not far enough. You must cut sin off at the root. If you’re weak in certain areas, don’t keep surrounding yourself with the opportunity to stumble. Avoid. Flee. There’s no wisdom in entertaining the thing sent to destroy you. Escape that temptation to the point of vanishing!

Friendly reminder that the Bible doesn't consider fetuses as on our level
The verses prolifers point out is, if your belief is true, means we were alive before we were ever conceived. But the human soul is not eternal; that is God only.
"If men fight, and hurt a woman with child, so that she gives birth prematurely, yet no harm follows, he shall surely be punished accordingly as the woman’s husband imposes on him; and he shall pay as the judges determine. But if any harm follows, then you shall give life for life, eye for eye, tooth for tooth, hand for hand, foot for foot, burn for burn, wound for wound, stripe for stripe." Exodus 21:22-25
Bolded comes from the Hebrew word וְיָצְא֣וּ, which means to go, out, or bring. Let's be real, what punch would bring earlier birth? It really only makes sense for this to be a miscarriage, and it says no harm follows. I'm not twisting His word; I'm listening to it.

We are called to be holy; in fact, Scripture tells us that “without [holiness] no one will see the Lord” (Hebrews 12:14). Unfortunately, many Christians have a “form of godliness” without being indwelt by the Holy Spirit. They may wear a cross necklace, go to church, get baptized, and yet they aren’t saved. Unlike what C.S. Lewis believed, no one can will themselves to become a Christian (Romans 8:7). God alone draws His elect to Him. How does one become a Christian? As Martyn Lloyd-Jones said: “No man can do it, no priest can do it, no church can do it, no human or authority or power can ever do it, it's impossible. It's not within the realm of the possibilities opened to men to make anybody else a Christian... How does it happen [then]? ... It is God alone who can do that.” Many Christians live secretly in sin. They might have the outward appearance of holiness, they may fool us, and we may never find out about their allegiance to sin in this life, but God will not be mocked and they will not inherit the kingdom of God. The apostle Paul is clear: avoid the ones living unholy lives. Paul preaches total avoidance, to the point of “not even to eat” with a “so-called brother if he is an immoral person, or covetous, or an idolater, or a reviler, or a drunkard, or a swindler” (1 Corinthians 5:11). Avoiding Christians who are living outside of God’s will is a command. We must minister to them so that they may truly repent of their sins and believe, but the apostle Paul is clear that we are not to be friends with such so-called Christians living in rebellion against God's Word. Be holy, as He is holy (1 Peter 1:16).

"Many followers will claim their god is all powerful, all loving, all just, all perfect, all wise, omnipotent, and knows the past, present, and future . . . If this is the case, why didn't their god have the foresight to inspire the writers of the Bible so it would be filled with timeless morals and ethics that would apply to any culture in any time period of human history and written in such a way that nobody could ever misinterpret it?"
-- Eric Kincade
The bible is as unimpressive as the knowledge of the humans who concocted it.

Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived: Neither the sexually immoral, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor men who submit to or perform homosexual acts.

The Issue of Holy War (Deuteronomy 7:1-11)
No individual, group of people, or even an entire nation, can keep itself on a right, just, and good path if they are continually around others who harm people either verbally and/or physically.
Joshua’s military campaign against the five Amorite kings, by Gilliam van der Gouwen, 1728 When the Lord your God brings you into the land you are entering to possess and drives out before you many nations—the Hittites, Girgashites, Amorites, Canaanites, Perizzites, Hivites and Jebusites, seven nations larger and stronger than you—and when the Lord your God has delivered them over to you and you…

"Whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one spirit with Him. Avoid immorality. Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the immoral person sins against his own body. Do you not know that your body is a temple of the holy Spirit within you, whom you have from God, and that you are not your own? For you have been purchased at a price. Therefore, glorify God in your body."
~ 1 Corinthians 6:17-20

• What Are the Dead Works?
Dead works bring separation between a believer and God. THEY are the works of the flesh mentioned and listed in Galatians 5:19-21.
 I. Sexual Sin or Immorality:
 Adultery, Fornication, Uncleanness, and Lasciviousness or lewdness are classified as sexual sins.
EXAMPLES: REUBEN slept with his father's wife (Genesis 35:22).
AND because of it, the father cursed him when he was about to die that he would not Excel. Thus, the tribe of Reuben happened to be one of the least tribes in Israel (Genesis 49:3,4).
SAMSON also lost the anointing of God on his life and his ministry because of the Sin of immorality (Judges 16:1,4).
IF this Sin is found in your Life, it can affect your relationship with God and hinder the fulfilment of whatever God has ordained you to be and assigned you to do.
 II. Idolatry:
 Putting your affection on someone or something above God. Whatever HAS taken the place of God in your heart has become another God, and It is an idol.
GOD has reserved a place for Himself in the heart of every human being and the place should not be occupied by any other person or THING.
 37. Jesus said to him, “ ‘YOU SHALL LOVE THE LORD YOUR GOD WITH ALL YOUR HEART, WITH ALL YOUR SOUL, AND WITH ALL YOUR MIND.’
38. THIS IS THE FIRST AND GREAT COMMANDMENT.”
Matthew 22:37,38 (NKJV)
 READ: Psalm 115:3-8;135:15–18.
III. Witchcraft:
 A dictionary defines witchcraft as the use of magic powers, especially the evil ones.
WITCHCRAFT is among the things condemned and classified as a work of the flesh. GOD CONDEMNED divination and magic, or sorcery in every FORM. The practice of it is repeatedly condemned in the law of Moses, it should be totally forbidden (Leviticus 19:26), AND it attracted death penalty (Exodus 22:18; Leviticus 20:27).
Consulting mediums, who contact the dead, is also forbidden, carrying a death sentence (Leviticus 20:6,27; Isaiah 8:19).
Saul was guilty of consulting a medium to contact Samuel (1 Samuel 1:28), even though Saul had banished all mediums from the land.
IN the New Testament, Simon, a sorcerer in Samaria, was rebuked by Peter for attempting to buy the power of the Holy Spirit (Acts 8:9-24). Paul and Silas encountered a slave girl at Philippi who has a demonic power of foretelling the future (Acts 16:16-26).
The Bible consistently condemns the practice of divination and magic, or sorcery. They are condemned because the source is often demonic and practitioners are trying to circumvent God, they want to find a way of avoiding God and His rules, to find guidance for the future.
BELIEVERS would do well to HEED biblical injunctions against astrology, fortune-telling, and mediums.
IN ADDITION TO IT, Witchcraft being one of the works of the flesh could also mean a way of manipulating or controlling others against their WILL.
IF you are a believer who likes to manipulate and control others that you may have your way, it is an act of witchcraft, you need to repent. SOME like using what they have, to manipulate others, compel or coerce others, to do whatever they want or wish, such is an act of witchcraft.

If you couldn’t be moral without your god, you’d do what he tells you.
But you don’t. Indeed, most of you don’t even know what he tells you.
The fact you make stupid excuses shows that you know this.
“Most humans are more moral than the scriptures they hold sacred.”
-- Alishba Zarmeen
