ps 5:The foolish shall not stand in thy sight: thou hatest all workers of iniquity.The worker of Iniquity is a peculiar sinner, not your average sinner, but sinners that are gulity of particular crimes, and that not so much of a moral crimes, of the flesh, but that of religous crimes of the pride and deceitfulness of their hearts.The new testament, Jesus in fact gives us commentary on this group of sinners in matt 7:22Many will say to me in that day, Lord, Lord, have we not prophesied in thy name? and in thy name have cast out devils? and in thy name done many wonderful works? 23And then will I profess unto them, I never knew you: depart from me, ye that work iniquity.The them, jesus is referring to are those in matt 7 22..And notice the description he gives them..not crackheads, prostitutes, theives, drunkards..and ect..but them that make a sincere profession of faith in him..and who believed they had worked for his kingdom and cause, these are the ones that Jesus is designating workers of inquity, and defines ps 5 5 for us..Notice again the context of matt 7 that culminates in the condemnation of these workers of iniquity..14Because strait is the gate, and narrow is the way, which leadeth unto life, and few there be that find it. 15Beware of false prophets, which come to you in sheep's clothing, but inwardly they are ravening wolves. 16Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? 17Even so every good tree bringeth forth good fruit; but a corrupt tree bringeth forth evil fruit. 18A good tree cannot bring forth evil fruit, neither can a corrupt tree bring forth good fruit. 19Every tree that bringeth not forth good fruit is hewn down, and cast into the fire. 20Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them. 21Not every one that saith unto me, Lord, Lord, shall enter into the kingdom of heaven; but he that doeth the will of my Father which is in heaven. You see why now they claim and believed they did many wonderful works in Jesus christ name..because they were false prophets vs 15These false prophets also led many many astray..notive verse 1313Enter ye in at the strait gate: for wide is the gate, and broad is the way, that leadeth to destruction, and many there be which go in thereat: The only ones they didnt sucessfully lead astray was the elect of God..matt 24:11And many false prophets shall rise, and shall deceive many. 23Then if any man shall say unto you, Lo, here is Christ, or there; believe it not. 24For there shall arise false Christs, and false prophets, and shall shew great signs and wonders; insomuch that, if it were possible, they shall deceive the very elect. 25Behold, I have told you before. The question one needs to ask themselves is, am i a worker of iniquity, not a whore or fornicator, or drunkard, or drug addict, but a very sincere religous person, believing i have accepted christ and am working good for his kingdom causes, yes, such as these, are workers of iniquity, and those whom Gods hate..ps 5 5..__________________
