Sins mentioned in the Bible - 15

Making others drunk

2 Samuel 11:12-13 

12 Then David said to him, “Stay here one more day, and tomorrow I will send you back.” So Uriah remained in Jerusalem that day and the next. 

13 At David's invitation, he ate and drank with him, and David made him drunk. But in the evening Uriah went out to sleep on his mat among his master's servants; he did not go home.

Imitating true worship

1 Kings 12:28-33 

28 After seeking advice, the king made two golden calves. He said to the people, “It is too much for you to go up to Jerusalem. Here are your gods, O Israel, who brought you up out of Egypt.” 

29 One he set up in Bethel, and the other in Dan. 

30 And this thing became a sin; the people went even as far as Dan to worship the one there.

31 Jeroboam built shrines on high places and appointed priests from all sorts of people, even though they were not Levites. 

32 He instituted a festival on the fifteenth day of the eighth month, like the festival held in Judah, and offered sacrifices on the altar. This he did in Bethel, sacrificing to the calves he had made. And at Bethel he also installed priests at the high places he had made. 

33 On the fifteenth day of the eighth month, a month of his own choosing, he offered sacrifices on the altar he had built at Bethel. So he instituted the festival for the Israelites and went up to the altar to make offerings.

Building high places

1 Kings 14:22 

Judah did evil in the eyes of the LORD. By the sins they committed they stirred up his jealous anger more than their fathers had done.

Making images

1 Kings 14:23 

They also set up for themselves high places, sacred stones and Asherah poles on every high hill and under every spreading tree.

Fearing other Gods

2 Kings 17:7 

All this took place because the Israelites had sinned against the LORD their God, who had brought them up out of Egypt from under the power of Pharaoh king of Egypt. They worshiped other gods

Walking in statutes of heathen

2 Kings 17:8 

And followed the practices of the nations the LORD had driven out before them, as well as the practices that the kings of Israel had introduced.
