It is always Bragging not False Piety?
To TESTIFY how you are giving Drink to a thirsty man is BRAGGING?
You brought up the subject, I thought you were gonna bless us
with some Testimony!
Doesn't the bragging part come from ones ATTITUDE?
Bragging is not in the essence of the act of compassion but is
something that comes forth from within ones heart.
To simply say I work at the mission with the homeless would not
be bragging.
Surely there must be some instance you could relate without
bragging
To avoid the issue by using a device like I don't want to brag,
implies that you are doing so very much we could not avoid the thought.
Or that you are doing nothing and must cover up.
I see no reason that you could not give a simple statement and
not brag.
There is a difference between what you do for God
AND
What is God DOing Through you?
Was Paul BRAGGING in 2 Co 11
Are they ministers of Christ? (I speak as
a fool) I am more; in labours more
abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequent,
in deaths oft.
What was your purpose in the original comments, but to imply you
are fufilling while Dean is "only about correcting others"
Is the "One who needs to know" Blessed by that?
You are concerned and do not want to BRAG but have NO Problem
disparaging Dean?
Funny how some preach but when asked to display how
they are DOing what they ask others to do, well then it would be
bragging LOL
But I keep under my body, and bring it
into subjection: lest that by any means, when I have preached
to others, I myself should be a castaway.
BTW You are right that God already knows
To
tell you these things would be bragging, Kev. What I am doing is known
by the One who needs to know. He does it through me. Remember the
instructions? Don't let your right hand know what the other is doing.
Those who brag about their deeds already have their rewards. You might
think about that.

You have got to be joking, Dean!
There is no sin of omission? Is following Christ only about correcting
others? How about giving a drink to a thirsty man?
AND how do you do such?
I find that most that speak like this are DOing nothing of
consequence. They love in "WORD" but never in DEED!
It tends to be a device to soothe their conscience.
The bible speaks of it this way.
My little children, let us not
love in word, neither in tongue; but in deed and in truth.
Talk is cheap it does not cost a thing!
As a proponent of PURE RELIGION
Pure religion and undefiled
before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows
in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
What are you DOing? Tell us of your DEEDS.
Looking foward to your
TESTIMONY! PTL!

the road to Damascus? How about the guy broke down alongside the
interstate? Can you please God by telling the thirsty guy he needs to
be saved and leave him in thirst. Can you hand a tract to the guy
broke down miles from nowhere and go on? I would never do that and
neither would you.

cd: There is a difference in pointing out
error and stoning someone to death.We can call sin ,sin and are told to
do so in the bible. Abstaining from original sin keeps one from being a
hypocrite as you are trying to make Judy appear. Adding sin of omission
in this manner is clouding the true message of the Gospel-If we are
living in the 11 commandments given to us then there is no sin of
omission for to have love of the brethren we will be helping them-by
correction their error(s) ,and giving to them for their needs-then
there is on sin of omission.If not- feel free to point out those other
sins of omission?
