(Psalm 145:9) The Lord is good to all.
(Deuteronomy 32:4) A God of truth and without iniquity, just and right is He.
(Isaiah 45:7) I make peace and create evil. I the Lord do all these things.
(Jeremiah 18:11) Thus saith the Lord; Behold, I frame evil against you, and devise a device against you.
(Ezekiel 20:25-26) I gave them also statutes that were not good, and judgments whereby they should not live.
And I polluted them in their own gifts, in that they caused to pass through the fire all that openeth the womb, that I
might make them desolate, to the end that they might know that I am the Lord.
168: How many died exactly?
(Numbers 25:9) And those that died in the plague were twenty and four thousand (24,000).
(1 Corinthians 10:8) Neither let us commit fornication, as some of them committed, and fell in one day three and
twenty thousand (23,000).
169: Was Jesus trustworthy?
(John 8:14) Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true.
John 5:31) If I bear witness of myself, my witness is not true.
Kindly note that "Record" and "Witness" in the above verses are the same Greek word (martyria).

(Deuteronomy 6:4) The Lord our God is one Lord.
(1 John 5:7) And there are three that bear witness in heaven, the Father, the Word, and the Holy Ghost: and
these three are one.
(Genesis 3:22) And the Lord God said, Behold, the man has become as one of us, to know good and evil.
The sentence "the man has become as one of us"; clearly prove that there are many Gods, that's why God said
"one of US"
171: Is there any righteous & good?
No:
(Romans 3:10) As it is written, There is none righteous, no, not one.
(Psalm 14:3) There is none that doeth good, no, not one.
Yes:
(Genesis 7:1) And the Lord said unto Noah, Come thou and all thy house into the ark; for thee have I seen
righteous before me in this generation.
(Luke 1:6) And they were both righteous before God, walking in all the commandments and ordinances of the
Lord blameless.
172: Should we swear an oath?
Yes:
(Numbers 30:2) If a man vow a vow unto the Lord, or swear an oath . . . he shall do according to all that
proceedeth out of his mouth.
(Genesis 21:22-24,31) . . . swear unto me here by God that thou wilt not deal falsely with me . . . And Abraham
said, I will swear. . . . Wherefore he called that place Beersheba [well of the oath&]; because there they sware
both of them.
(Hebrews 6:13-17) For when God made promise to Abraham, because he could swear by no greater, he sware
by himself . . . for men verily swear by the greater: and an oath for confirmation is to them an end of all strife.
Wherein God, willing more abundantly to shew unto the heirs of promise the immutability of his counsel,
confirmed it by an oath.
No:
(Matthew 5:34-37) But I say unto you, swear not at all; neither by heaven . . . nor by the earth . . . . Neither shalt
thou swear by thy head . . . . But let your communication be, Yea, yea; Nay, nay: for whatsoever is more than
these cometh of evil.
(James 5:12) . . . swear not, neither by heaven, neither by the earth, neither by any other oath: but let your yea
be yea; and your nay, nay; lest ye fall into condemnation.
173: Shall we obey a man or not?
Obey man:
(1 Peter 2:13) Submit yourself to every ordinance of man . . . to the king, as supreme; Or unto governors.
(Matthew 22:21) Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's.

which no man can approach . . .
(James 1:17) . . . the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning.
(Daniel 2:22) He [God] knoweth what is in the darkness, and the light dwelleth with Him.
Darkness:
(2I Samuel 22:12) And He made darkness pavilions round about Him, dark waters, and thick clouds of the skies.

(Exodus 31:17) In six days the Lord made heaven and earth, and on the seventh day He rested, and was
refreshed.
(Isaiah 40:28) The everlasting God, the LORD, the Creator of the ends of the earth, fainteth not, neither is weary.
179: Is God present everywhere? Or not?
Yes:
(Proverbs 15:3) The eyes of the LORD [are] in every place, beholding the evil and good.
(Pslam 139:7- ) whither shall go from Thy Spirit? or whither shall I flee from Thy presence. If I ascend up into
heaven, Thou [are] there; if I make my bed in hell, behold Thou are there.
No:
(Genesis 11:5) But the LORD came down to see the city and the tower that men were building.
(Genesis 18:20-21) The the LORD said, 'The outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah is so great and their sins so
grievous that I will go down and see if what they have done is as bad as the outcry that has reached me. If not, I
will know.
The above verses from Genesis describe God like a human, who can't see things from the sky & God comes
down on earth to see what is going on!

with all your soul.

Yes:
(Psalm 92:15) To declare that the LORD is upright; He is my rock and there is no unrighteousness in him.
(Deuteronomy 32:4) The Rock! His work is perfect, For all His ways are just; a God of faithfulness and without
injustice, righteous and upright is He.
(Ezekiel 18:25) Yet you say, "The way of the LORD is not right." Here now, O house of Israel! Is My way not
right? Is it not your ways that are not right?

me.

(Romans 1:20) For the invisible things of Him from the creation of the world are clearly seen, being understood
by the things that are made, even his eternal power and Godhead; so that they are without excuse.
185: Jesus' Double-Standard!
(Luke 12:4) And I say unto you my friends, Be not afraid of them that kill the body, and after that have no more
that they can do.
(John 7:1) After these things Jesus walked in Galilee; for he would not walk in Jewry; because the Jews sought to
kill him.
In Luke 12:4 Jesus advice his disciples to not fear being killed, contrary to that in John 7:1 Jesus himself feared
from Jews to be killed!!!
