According to the compilers of the explanatory dictionary, "wicked" is the same as "evil", "sinful".
In the Bible, according to one of the religious portals, there are forty-two references to wicked people.
How the word "wicked" is interpreted in biblical psalms and parables
Wicked is a person who is arrogant, borrows and does not repay a debt, speaks false words, and treats people less fortunate than himself with disdain.
The wicked, according to the online Bible, are also people:
not stingy with gifts in the hope of influencing the course of justice;
angry (yielding to anger);
trusting the advice of the wicked
What is "counsel of the wicked"?
The Apostle Paul, a denouncer of paganism, wrote in his revelations about the danger that awaits everyone who even accidentally thought about the possibility of following such advice (he also described the wicked in detail for the first time).
Wicked Paul, referring to the Holy Scriptures, called people who succumbed to the tempting promises given to them by the first wicked or "unclean" - a fallen angel expelled from heaven. The purpose of the council of the wicked is to make a persondeviate from the path assigned to him by God.
What advice do the wicked give?
The council of the wicked has long been called the assembly of corrupters by the clergy.
The main goal pursued by the wicked is to deprive the Christian of power through false preaching. To persuade a person to give up earthly suffering necessary for the salvation of the soul, to think more about the improvement of temporary, earthly life and to focus all his attention on carnal pleasures.
In other words, the purpose of the corrupters is to guide the believers to the path of the wicked.
Which way do the wicked go?
Those who set foot on the path indicated by the council of the wicked will not be able to find justification for their actions at the final judgment prepared for them by God. "… The path of the wicked will perish" - such words are in one of the psalms.
The epistles left to posterity by the Apostle Paul say that many people step into the path of sinners (since it is wide), not realizing that a well-arranged temporary (earthly) life ends with a descent into the underworld.
Attending the meetings of corrupters the apostle calls the last step leading to destruction. It is also known that Paul anathematized "preachers" whose teachings are saturated with lies.
So who are the wicked people?
Modern people who do not attend the temple rarely hear the word "wicked". This concept is found mainly in the lexicon of believers. Most people, when trying to understand the meaning of the word "wicked", turn to the messages leftapostles.
If you believe the information published on one of the religious sites, among Christians there are those who do not rank Judas among the traitors, but consider him the executor of a responsible task (without his betrayal, they say, Jesus could not have fulfilled his martyrdom mission). This category of believers interprets the word "wicked" based on the epistles of Jude.
The disgraced apostle, calling on Christians to fight for the faith that he himself once betrayed, gives a clear definition of the concept of "wicked": this is a person who is able to see in God's grace a reason for debauchery, defiling the flesh and slandering representatives of high authorities.
Besides, Judas called for offended grumblers, hypocrites, greedists, as well as people who are commonly called biased in modern society.
But a certain Jozaps Stonkus, the author of religious articles, applies this concept to believers, whom he calls idolaters of the Holy Trinity. According to this author, the wicked is a person who rejects the one God.
Stonkus also ranks Christians among the wicked who worship Jesus not as the son of a single deity, but as the deity himself.
