CODE OF UNRIGHTEOUS ACTS
These things (49) are sins of humanity against mankind and G-d, reported in the Holy Scriptures. It is expected that every righteous person will work to avoid these things in their life, and repent then refrain from any fallen into. The unrighteous acts are not in any order of importance, nor is there an outline presented for evil attitudes. If you would like to reply, write: mbi@[nospam]messianic.com . We will consider additions, combinations, and retractions to this list; also Scripture references for each will eventually be added to this list and we would appreciate any suggestions concerning which Scriptures fit where.
