Question: "What does the Bible say about laziness?"

Answer: Newton’s first law of motion states that an object in motion tends to remain in motion, and an object at rest tends to remain at rest. This law applies to people. While some are naturally driven to complete projects, others are apathetic, requiring motivation to overcome inertia. Laziness, a lifestyle for some, is a temptation for all. But the Bible is clear that, because the Lord ordained work for man, laziness is sin. “Go to the ant, you sluggard! Consider her ways and be wise” (Proverbs 6:6).

The Bible has a great deal to say about laziness. Proverbs is especially filled with wisdom concerning laziness and warnings to the lazy person. Proverbs tells us that a lazy person hates work: “The sluggard's craving will be the death of him, because his hands refuse to work” (21:25); he loves sleep: “As a door turns on its hinges, so a sluggard turns on his bed” (26:14); he gives excuses: “The sluggard says, ‘There is a lion in the road, a fierce lion roaming the streets’” (26:13); he wastes time and energy: “He who is slothful in his work is a brother to him who is a great waster” (18:9 KJV); he believes he is wise, but is a fool: “The sluggard is wiser in his own eyes than seven men who answer discreetly” (26:16).

Relevantly, it may be noted that the dog is mentioned in the Bible eighteen times, but the cat not even once.

buhi pa na.  nagluod lang siya nga gihiktan.  cats don't wish to be lugged around by their owner the way dogs do.

Hmm, padung batobatoan sa dagat?

cruelty to cats ba na? 

kugoson ning iring, o di ba ibutang sa pet carrier.  di huktan kay independent man na sila kaayo, di paguyod.  bad man ni sila nga owners uy.

Kaluoy ni kitty. Wa na lang molihok arong di mosamot kasakit ang liog... 

Kini tingali, pwede pa...

it's funny but yes, it's animal cruelty already... shoot.. na foul ko sa akong post karon.. My sincerest apology Ma'am Isles..

okay lang, loll, uy.  it's supposed to be funny, according to the gif's own label.  duda ko nga tweaked na sa gahimo; gipakapinan ug background kunohay.

kining kang hubag nga reply #14, cruelty to plant, hahaha!

Masochist galing ning petsaya...

Kini ang cruelty. Angay kugoson na lang...

ang iring di iro sama nga ang tawo di iring.  gahi rag ulo ning tawo.  di huktan ang iring ug guyoron, in whatever language!
