The seventh thing that is obnoxious to the Creator: he who causes fighting among brothers (Part 1).
Note that this sin is underscored by the Creator and the reason can be seen below:
First: the intrigant has the ability of making friends break up from each other (the opposite of what the Eternal projected for His gospel – 2Cor 5.18-20):
Second: intrigues are so tasteful that there are welcomed by the innermost being of the natural man, whose desire is always to be superior to the others:
It’s not in vain that James said that the tongue has power of fire (James 3.5,6):
It’s sufficient to keep the telltale at bay and all the ruckus, whack, quarrel, etc., cool off.
Perhaps you question: but, and if somebody is swindling somebody else? First of all, seek out the direction of the Holy Spirit and follow what Jesus taught in Matthew 18.15-17, keeping in mind the importance of recovering the sinner (Matthew 18.18-20; Luke 15.7; James 5.19-20).
So, if you sees your brother sin a sin not to death (1Jo 5.16), pray for him, and Jesus shall give him life and you will be very rewarded because the love cover multitude of sins (1Peter 4.8) and, the more the person is forgiven, the more they love (Luke 7.47).
Have a good week abiding by the forgiveness of Jesus banking on His the greatness of His blessings (much more than any evil done against us - Psalms 63.3; Romans 5.20; Romans 8.18).
- “These six Jehovah hates; yea, seven are hateful to his soul: a proud look, a lying tongue, and hands that shed innocent blood, a heart that plots wicked plans, feet hurrying to run to evil, a false witness who speaks lies, and *he who causes fighting among brothers*.” (Proverbs 6.16-19).

- “The words of one who says evil of his neighbour secretly are like sweet food, they go down into the inner parts of the stomach.” (Proverbs 26.22).
It’s not in vain that James said that the tongue has power of fire (James 3.5,6):
- “Like breath on coals and wood on fire, so a man given to argument gets a fight started. (Proverbs 26.21).
It’s sufficient to keep the telltale at bay and all the ruckus, whack, quarrel, etc., cool off.
- “Without wood, the fire goes out; and where there is no secret talk, argument is ended.” (Proverbs 26.20).
