In the context of the Bible, it often involves divine commands or instructions given by God, prophets, or apostles to guide the moral and spiritual conduct of individuals and communities.<br><br><b>Old Testament Context</b><br><br>In the Old Testament, God frequently forbade certain actions to maintain the holiness and distinctiveness of His people, Israel. For example, in the Ten Commandments, God forbade idolatry, murder, theft, and bearing false witness (<a href="/exodus/20-3.htm">Exodus 20:3-17</a>). These prohibitions were foundational to the covenant relationship between God and Israel, emphasizing the need for obedience and reverence.<br><br>God also forbade the Israelites from adopting the practices of surrounding nations, particularly those involving idolatry and immorality. In <a href="/leviticus/18-3.htm">Leviticus 18:3-4</a>, God instructed, "You must not do as they do in the land of Egypt, where you used to live, and you must not do as they do in the land of Canaan, to which I am bringing you. You must not walk in their customs. You are to practice My judgments and keep My statutes by walking in them. I am the LORD your God."<br><br><b>New Testament Context</b><br><br>In the New Testament, Jesus and the apostles continued to uphold and expand upon the moral teachings of the Old Testament. Jesus forbade certain attitudes and behaviors that were contrary to the kingdom of God. For instance, in the Sermon on the Mount, Jesus forbade anger and lust, equating them with murder and adultery in the heart (<a href="/matthew/5-21.htm">Matthew 5:21-30</a>).<br><br>The apostle Paul, in his epistles, often forbade behaviors that were inconsistent with the Christian life. In <a href="/galatians/5-19.htm">Galatians 5:19-21</a>, Paul lists the "works of the flesh" and warns that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God. He writes, "The acts of the flesh are obvious: sexual immorality, impurity, and debauchery; idolatry and sorcery; hatred, discord, jealousy, and rage; rivalries, divisions, factions, and envy; drunkenness, orgies, and the like. I warn you, as I did before, that those who practice such things will not inherit the kingdom of God."<br><br><b>Divine Authority and Human Response</b><br><br>The prohibitions found in Scripture are rooted in the divine authority of God, who desires His people to live in holiness and righteousness. The act of forbidding is not merely about restriction but is intended to protect and guide believers toward a life that reflects God's character and purposes.<br><br>Throughout the Bible, the response to divine prohibitions is a measure of faith and obedience. When individuals or nations disregarded what God forbade, they often faced consequences, as seen in the narratives of Israel's history. Conversely, adherence to God's commands brought blessings and favor.<br><br><b>Conclusion</b><br><br>The concept of "forbade" in the Bible underscores the importance of obedience to God's commands as an expression of faith and devotion. It highlights the ongoing call for believers to live in a manner that honors God and aligns with His will, as revealed through Scripture.<a name="web" id="web"></a><div class="vheading2">Webster's Revised Unabridged Dictionary</div>1.
