Wicked in the Bible

Sorry if this isn't the best part of the forums for this post. The wicked are mentioned in the Bible:-

Bible Gateway passage: Psalm 37 - Good News Translation

The Destiny of the Wicked and of the Good - Don't be worried on account of the wicked; don't be jealous of those who do wrong. They will soon disappear like grass that dries up; they will die like plants that wither. Trust in the LORD and do good; live in the land and be safe. Seek your...

I think that if someone or people try to covertly be wicked and don't get noticed by other people, the fact that God knows is comforting, maybe it can be almost overwhelming as it could happen a lot or frustrating, but if people try not to be provoked and they keep praying

Could you explain what you mean please?

Are you saying that blatant sinning by people is very provocative or something entirely different?

I am not perfect no one is, I haven't always tried to be good

That makes even less sense.

Are you trying to say you are a ' sinner ', because everybody without exception is a sinner.

You have ticked ' no ' to being a Christian.

Are you seeking to find out about Christianity or are you merely trying to live a ' good ' life?

The first is worth doing, while he second is pointless as all unsaved sinners are already condemned.
Please read John Ch 3 verse 18.

I used to attend Church. If someone tries to be selfish or do something wicked to someone and no one else is aware of it, GOD knows and if someone is targetted or bullied more than others God knows.

Why ' used'? Why don't you currently attend church, covid restrictions permitting?

Are you seeking to talk/write about your experiences of being bullied?

Trying to be a good person will not buy you a place in the New Jerusalem that God will usher down on the last day after Christ returns, Revelation 21:1-8. It's all about God's plan of salvation by His grace through faith in Christ Jesus as your personal Lord and Savior, John 3:5-7; Romans 10:9,10; Ephesians 2:8. We are all sinners saved by grace and without being Spiritually born again from above you can not see the kingdom of God.


It's all about humbling ourselves before the Lord and repenting of our sins as God creates a clean heart as we are washed in the blood of Christ who made the final sacrifice for our sins even though none of us deserve God's grace. After being Spiritually renewed by that of God's righteousness, as our own is a filthy rag to God, we begin our personal relationship with Jesus and learn of His ways as we learn to walk in the Spirit, Galatians 5:16-26; Colossians Chapter 3.

It's comforting for people minding their own business and doing nothing wrong I think that God knows this and violence in my opinion isn't just physical, it could be verbal abuse or bullying or trying to provoke someone who is doing nothing wrong and minding their own business and doing this to an autistic person for example is disability hate crime

Abuse comes in all forms. I have suffered physical/sexual/emotional/psychological/spiritual abuse. Yes, God knows. Even if the abuser does they're best to keep the abuse hidden....GOD KNOWS.

What she's saying is works don't buy you salvation, but those saved by Christ will reflect this (being saved)in their good works. She did NOT say "anything goes and all dogs go to heaven."

I know but the prevailing attitude among the senior staff is that one can be anything they want and, as long as they believe in Jesus, it's all good.

I haven't seen that at all. I've seen them say we should recognize that each person is at a different stage in their spiritual maturity and should take that into account. I have not seen an anything goes theme here. I have seen patience, understanding, long suffering.......the fruits of the Spirit. Where do you see anything goes????
