Is there any scripture on loyalty?
493168
Yes, there's are some scriptures that has the word "loyal." \n\n"O LORD, God of our fathers Abraham, Isaac and Israel, keep this desire in the hearts of your people forever, and keep their hearts loyal to you." (1 CHRONICLES 29:18, NIV)\n\n"They would not be like their forefathers-- a stubborn and rebellious generation, whose hearts were not loyal to GOD, whose spirits were not faithful to HIM." (PSALM 78:8, NIV)\n\nBut if you are looking for a scripture about how to be loyal or about a commandment of loyalty, I think this is what loyalty is all about...\n\nJesus replied, "Love the LORD your GOD with all your heart and with all your soul and with all your mind. This is the first and greatest commandment. And the second is like it: Love your neighbor as yourself." (MATTHEW 22:37~39, NIV)\n\nI hope this answered your question. God bless.

Yes.  I would suggest reading James 3.  As Jesus said to the Pharisees:\n\nMatthew 12:34 O generation of vipers, how can ye, being evil, speak good things? for out of the abundance of the heart the mouth speaketh.\n 35 A good man out of the good treasure of the heart bringeth forth good things: and an evil man out of the evil treasure bringeth forth evil things.\n 36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.\n 37 For by thy words thou shalt be justified, and by thy words thou shalt be condemned.

Hello sweet little child.. :)\n\nThis is lengthy so please forgive me ahead of time..here are quite alot of scriptures to support that we can lose our salvation..\n====================================================\n1. Fall from grace - Gal. 5:1-4,13 \n2. Be led away with error - 2 Pet. 3:17 \n3. Err from the truth - James 5:19-20 \n4. Weak brother may perish - 1 Cor. 8:11 \n5. Fall into condemnation - James 5:12 \n6. Be moved away from the hope - Col. 1:21-23 \n7. Deny the Lord who bought them - 2 Pet. 2:1 \n8. Depart from the living God - Heb. 3:12 \n9. Can be a castaway - 1 Cor. 9:27 \n10. Can become accursed children - 2 Pet. 2:14 \n\nWhat the scriptures say. \n\n1 Parable of sower \n\nMark 4:16 (Luke 8:13) "And in a similar way these are the ones on whom seed was sown on the rocky places, who, when they hear the word, immediately receive it with joy; (they believe for a while) and they have no firm root in themselves, but are only temporary; then, when affliction or persecution arises because of the word, immediately they fall away. \n\n2 Fallen from grace passage: \n\nGalatians 5:4 "You have been severed from Christ, you who are seeking to be justified by law; you have fallen from grace." \n\n\n3 Pruning passages: \n\nJohn 15:5-6 "I am the vine, you are the branches; he who abides in Me, and I in him, he bears much fruit; for apart from Me you can do nothing. If anyone does not abide in Me, he is thrown away as a branch, and dries up; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned." \n\nRomans 11:19-23 "You will say then, "Branches were broken off so that I might be grafted in." Quite right, they were broken off for their unbelief, but you stand by your faith. Do not be conceited, but fear; for if God did not spare the natural branches, neither will He spare you. Behold then the kindness and severity of God; to those who fell, severity, but to you, God's kindness, if you continue in His kindness; otherwise you also will be cut off. And they also, if they do not continue in their unbelief, will be grafted in; for God is able to graft them in again." \n\n4 Hebrews Passages: \n\nHebrews 6:4-6 For in the case of those who have once been enlightened and have tasted of the heavenly gift and have been made partakers of the Holy Spirit, and have tasted the good word of God and the powers of the age to come, and then have fallen away, it is impossible to renew them again to repentance, since they again crucify to themselves the Son of God, and put Him to open shame. \n\nHebrews 10:26-27 For if we go on sinning willfully after receiving the knowledge of the truth, there no longer remains a sacrifice for sins, but a certain terrifying expectation of judgment, and the fury of a fire which will consume the adversaries." \n\nHebrews 10:38-39 "But My righteous one shall live by faith; And if he shrinks back, My soul has no pleasure in him. But we are not of those who shrink back to destruction, but of those who have faith to the preserving of the soul." \n\n5 Doctrinal Apostasy passages: \n\nActs 20:17,28-30 "And from Miletus he sent to Ephesus and called to him the elders of the church." ... "I know that after my departure savage wolves will come in among you, not sparing the flock; and from among your own selves men will arise, speaking perverse things, to draw away the disciples after them." \n\n1 Timothy 1:18-21 "fight the good fight, keeping faith and a good conscience, which some have rejected and suffered shipwreck in regard to their faith. Among these are HYMENAEUS and Alexander" \n\n2 Timothy 2:16-18 But avoid worldly and empty chatter, for it will lead to further ungodliness, and their talk will spread like gangrene. Among them are HYMENAEUS and Philetus, men who have gone astray from the truth saying that the resurrection has already taken place, and thus they upset the faith of some. \n\n1 Timothy 4:1 &quo

John 13:34\nA new commandment I give unto you, That ye love one another; as I have loved you, that ye also love one another.\n\nZechariah 8:17\nAnd let none of you imagine evil in your hearts against his neighbour; and love no false oath: for all these are things that I hate, saith the LORD.\n\nMatthew 22:39-41  \nAnd the second is like unto it, Thou shalt love thy neighbour as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the law and the prophets.\n\nMatthew 18:21-23 \nThen came Peter to him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? \nJesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven. \n\n\n1 John 3:10 \nIn this the children of God are manifest, and the children of the devil: whosoever doeth not righteousness is not of God, neither he that loveth not his brother\n\n1 Corinthians 13\n\n... love is kind, seeks not her own, bears all things...

I assume you mean the ten commandments?\n\nYes, hundreds of millions follow such a lifestyle, regardless of race, religion or location.  \n\nI consider myself to be a Christian, but my faith was shaken when I lost my family to my wife's lust.  However, I have not let it shake my integrity.  I treat each person like they are my best friend, until they show me cause to do otherwise.  I never lie, cheat or steal anything.  I conduct my personal and professional life as I wish everyone else would.\n\nI may never become rich, because of this, but I will be remembered well by my friends and business partners.\n\nYou are correct, even though it appears we may reside on opposite sides of the isle, integrity, respect, and honesty are sadly lacking in society today.  But I bellieve that the vast majority do conduct themselves well.  I have to, or what are we trying to save?

Well, I was going to answer your question, but.......you've already answered it yourself!  I's all in the scriptures.\n\nTo quote just a part of Proverbs 4 - "Acquire wisdom, acquire understanding. Do not forget, and do not turn aside from the sayings of my mouth.  Do not leave it, and it will keep you. Love it, and it will safeguard you.  Wisdom is the prime thing. Acquire wisdom; and with all that you acquire, acquire understanding.  Highly esteem it, and it will exalt you. It will glorify you because you embrace it.  To your head it will give a wreath of charm; a crown of beauty it will bestow upon you.”

I don't know if you're a religious person, but since your question is about forgiveness, I'll answer it from a Christian perspective; but please understand that you don't have to be religious in order to benefit from the wisdom of the Bible.  I do not consider myself to be Christian, but I still use many things I read in the Bible to help me through challenges of the spirit such as the one you have describe.\n\nFirst of all, we should ALWAYS forgive others.  Jesus said to forgive people seventy times seven times, which comes out to be 490 times.  If you have to forgive someone more times than that, they are probably so evil that it's not going to matter whether you forgive them or not; at that point your best best would bwe to just get the hell away from them!  LOL\n\nBut I think what he meant was to forgive as much as you possibly can.  But you sound very young to me- it sounds like there's not a whole lot you can do OTHER than forgive; sadly, we are basically powerless in our youth to change the behavior of others, so you'd better forgive wholeheartedly and do it RIGHT.  The following information is lengthy, but it will help you learn all you need to know about forgiveneness:\n\n- This is not an optional action on our part, but rather it is imperative to our own well being that we forgive others.\n- Most Christians understand that this is not always an easy task.\n- For some, there have been people in their lives which have wronged them severly.\n\n- Though it may be a process, and it may not happen instantaneously, we must be willing to take the first steps toward forgiving others.\n- As long as we continue to harbor bitterness in our hearts toward someone else, we allow that individual to have a controlling factor in our lives.\n- There are a number of occasions where unforgiving Christians lose their relationship with God because of what someone else had done to them in the church.\n\n- There was once a man who lost his relationship not only with God, but also his children and people in the church because of his bitterness toward others. He basically went around feeling sorry for himself all the time.\n- To forgive means to "send away". In other words, to not hang on to the wrong doing.\n\n- When you forgive someone, it means that you are not holding that sin against that person.\n- Therefore, you're not focused on how you can get back at that person.\n- You're not praying that their boat will sink or that their plane will crash.\n- As a matter of fact, you actually begin to pray for their salvation and deliverance.\n\n- Understand that when you forgive someone, it doesn't mean that you have to re-establish a relationship with that person.\n- It may, by God's will, lead to that and that's great if that's what God desires.\n- In the verse, there's no mention that you should stop praying and go find that person to let them know that you forgive them.\n- Release the thought of anger and bitterness and hurt unto God.\n\n- Forgiveness does not mean, by the way, to forget.\n- Trying to forget is merely an attempt to hide something.\n- When you hide something, someone will eventually find it.\n- We're are to deal with he hurt and send it away.\n\n- Jesus didn't just preach this. He lived this.\n\n(Luke 23:33-34 NKJV) And when they had come to the place called Calvary, there they crucified Him, and the criminals, one on the right hand and the other on the left.Then Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they do." And they divided His garments and cast lots.\n\nFORGIVING OTHERS HELPS US TO UNDERSTAND AND RECEIVE FORGIVENESS\n\n(Mat 6:14-15 NKJV) "For if you forgive men their trespasses, your heavenly Father will also forgive you. But if you do not forgive men their trespasses, neither will your Father forgive your trespasses."\n\n- It seems as if God's ability to forgive us is contingent upon our ability to forgi
