Is bias a sin?

"And His name is Faithful and True, and He judges in RIGHTEOUSNESS.""Nethertheless, according to His promise, we await New Heavens and a New Earth, and in these RIGHTEOUSNESS is to dwell. "You have become judges rendering wicked decisions." "God is no respecter of persons."Reading all this, and looking around us, we see that most people are NOT impartial. They take the side of the one they LIKE BETTER, or KNOW BETTER, over right or wrong.Let's start with the darling media. They're just dripping with bias.Just ONE example {too numerous to mention }of this is how they're covering the Democrat convention.Every time one of those liberals get up and speak, and knock Trump, they cheer them on. If Trump defends himself , they make him the bad guy. Obvious where they're loyalties lie, although the medias job is to REPORT the news, not plug for one side, and villianize the other.Other than this,I've seen where someone in a certain family, does something WRONG, and even by Biblical definition a sin, and the other family member "covers for" them, and goes against the victim. Bias.One of the first questions they ask you in jury duty is if you can be nuetral.So is bias considered a sin, seeing that it's not a "fair" judgement, and your mind is made up beforehand? I think so. You?The reason I think it's a sin is because of the unfairness it creates.

Worldly people typically look for things to confirm their beliefs. They are bias and discriminate others. Ignore information that contradicts their beliefs. We mus pray for these lost souls that roam our streets are far away from the Lord.

Thank you Steve for your Blog. It helped my focus. As there are so many commonalities in life, sharing them we see we are not alone. The fruit of the Spirit Galatians 5:22. When I started to remember Bible passages, it was tough, however, the more meaningful they were, the easier the task. Amen.

Actually, it does have theraputic value for me, too. By sharing something I notice, it takes it all off my shoulders,too.

Once more you have asked a question for which the Bible already provides an answer:

1 My brethren, do not hold your faith in our glorious Lord Jesus Christ with an attitude of personal favoritism. 2 For if a man comes into your assembly with a gold ring and dressed in fine clothes, and there also comes in a poor man in dirty clothes, 3 and you pay special attention to the one who is wearing the fine clothes, and say, “You sit here in a good place,” and you say to the poor man, “You stand over there, or sit down by my footstool,” 4 have you not made distinctions among yourselves, and become judges with evil motives? 5 Listen, my beloved brethren: did not God choose the poor of this world to be rich in faith and heirs of the kingdom which He promised to those who love Him? 6 But you have dishonored the poor man. Is it not the rich who oppress you and personally drag you into court? 7 Do they not blaspheme the fair name by which you have been called?

8 If, however, you are fulfilling the royal law according to the Scripture, “YOU SHALL LOVE YOUR NEIGHBOR AS YOURSELF,” you are doing well. 9 But if you show partiality, you are committing sin and are convicted by the law as transgressors. 10 For whoever keeps the whole law and yet stumbles in one point, he has become guilty of all. 11 For He who said, “DO NOT COMMIT ADULTERY,” also said, “DO NOT COMMIT MURDER.” Now if you do not commit adultery, but do commit murder, you have become a transgressor of the law. 12 So speak and so act as those who are to be judged by the law of liberty. 13 For judgment will be merciless to one who has shown no mercy; mercy triumphs over judgment (James 2).

"Therefore be imitators of God as dear children" (Eph 5:1).

God bless you with Col 1:9-12, Eph 1:17-20, Phil 1:9-11 in Jesus' Name

Being bias and discriminate others is a sin against the Lord. Jesus loved everyone. He cared for the sick and those who were possesed by the devil. He want us all to be like Him.

Everyone of us was created by God in His own image. It unChrist like to be bias against anyone. Love others just as Jesus did to all of us.
