Is It A Sin To Point Out The Sins Of People by tobechi74: 1:14am On Feb 09, 2020 |
WHO CARES HERE IS WHAT COUNTS FOR "YOU" :Your eyes need to look a little further away, the short comings need to be addressed if they are overlooked then such people who are left with such shortcomings will become stagnated in their development. It is thus compassionate for a person who knows to point out such short comings. The old way of polishing everyones egos and denying such shortcomings has not made any persons become realised, a short coming of the ego is just that and it thus should not be overlooked. What you should understand is what you yourself can get from it, does it really matter if the motivation of the person who is pointing out the short comings comes from compassion or comes from a vengeful ego? The fact is such a revelation no matter who where or why it comes up is an opportunity for the reciprient to work on himself.... If such a reciprient takes it as being personal, then even that short coming should be pointed out. Everything is an opportunity to use for growth and those who point out our shortcomings are the ones who help us the most. In the past it never worked where people felt the need to tip toe around sensitive egos, often those who do tiptoe arpund sensitive egos do so because they themselves have sensitive egos and thus do not wish to look at how they really are. As I see it in a spiritual work all these things are beneficial let the egoists who want to stay that way protect their precious egos while those of us who want a better life and a better safer planet to live on use these things as material for our own benefit and by that for the worlds benefit. LET IT BECOME THE WATER THAT FALLS FROM A DUCKS BACK INSTEAD OF STICKY SHIT THAT STICKS TO A WALL./ |

Truth must be spoken in love else it won't be balanced. Correction that comes from being vengeful is actually not going to be accurate 1 Like |

Our motive behind the correction matters a lot. As much as you need to correct in love. Sometimes, you don't even need to approach the person unless God tells you to.thw best you can do is to pray for the person and if you so much love them...then do a fervent prayer/fasting for them. Bible says we should remove the log of wood in our own eyes first before we have clear eyes to see other people's wrongdoing. Sometimes, it is because you have made it an habit to always find people that are doing wrong, that is why it is you that keeps seeing faults in people. On the other hand, if all you keep seeing around you is people that needs correction, be sure that you are the one that needs deliverance. Before you go to correct someone, please learn to pray first, only then can you minister to people. You have no idea what people are going through that is making them misbehave. All in all, Prayer is the key. |

I'm not theist but i'll answer the question. It depends on your moltive and the manner in which you do it. If you point out someone elses sin simply to make mockery or to persecute them, then it's a sin. And you're nothing but a bloody hypocrite. Cos everyone's dirty including you. If you do so to correct the other individual in a mature, understanding manner, then it's not. 1 Like |

SHALOM! If "SIN" is first defined, the answer to this question becomes elementary. . EXODUS 20:1-7. AND God Spake all these Words, Saying, 2. "I (am) The LORD thy God, Which have brought thee out of The Land of Egypt, out of The House of Bondage. 3. "Thou shalt have no other gods before Me. 4. "Thou shalt not make unto thee any graven image, or any likeness (of any thing) that (is) in the Earth beneath, or that (is) in the Water under the Earth: 5. "Thou shalt not bow down thyself to them, nor serve them: for I The LORD thy God (am) a Jealous God, visiting the iniquity of the fathers upon the third and fourth (generation) of them that Hate Me. 6. "And shewing Mercy unto thousands of them which Love Me, and Keep My Commandments. 7. "Thou shalt not take The Name of The LORD thy God in vain; for The LORD will not hold him guiltless that taketh His Name in vain." . NUMBERS 15:27-31. 27. "And if any man Sin through Ignorance, then he shall bring a She Goat of the first year for a Sin Offering. 28. "And the Priest shall make an Atonement for the Soul that Sinneth Ignorantly, when he Sinneth by Ignorance before The LORD, to make an Atonement for him, and it shall be forgiven him. 29. " Ye shall have one Law for him that Sinneth Ignorantly (both for) him that is born among the Children of Israel, and for the Stranger that sojourneth among them. 30. "But the Soul that doeth (ought) presumptuously, (whether he be) born in the land, or a Stranger, the same reproacheth The LORD; and that Soul shall be cut off from among his people. 31. "Because he hath despised The Word of The LORD, and hath broken His Commandment, that Soul shall utterly be cut off; his Iniquity (shall be) upon him." . 1st JOHN 3:1-18. BEHOLD, what manner of Love The Father hath bestowed upon us, that we should be called The Sons of God: therefore the World knoweth us not, because It knew him not. 2. Beloved, now are we The Sons of God, and it doth not yet appear what we shall be: but we know that, "WHEN HE SHALL APPEAR, WE SHALL BE LIKE HIM; FOR WE SHALL SEE HIM AS HE IS." 3. And every man that hath this Hope in him purifieth himself, even as he is pure. 4. Whosoever committeth Sin transgresseth also The Law: for Sin is the Transgression of The Law. 5. And ye know that he was manifested to take away our Sins; and in him is no Sin. 6. Whosoever abideth in him Sinneth not: whosoever Sinneth hath not seen him, neither known him. 7. Little Children, let no man deceive you: "HE THAT DOETH RIGHTEOUSNESS IS RIGHTEOUS, EVEN AS HE IS RIGHTEOUS." 8. He that committeth Sin is of The Devil; for The Devil Sinneth From The Beginning. For this cause The Son of God was manifested, "THAT HE MIGHT DESTROY THE WORKS OF THE DEVIL." 9. Whosoever is Born of God doth not commit Sin: for His Seed remaineth in him, and he cannot Sin, because he is Born of God. 10. In this The Children of God are manifest, and The Children of The Devil: "WHOSOEVER DOETH NOT RIGHTEOUSNESS IS NOT OF GOD, NEITHER HE THAT LOVETH NOT HIS BROTHER." 11. For this is The Message that ye heard From The Beginning, "THAT WE SHOULD LOVE ONE ANOTHER." 12. Not as Cain, who was of That Wicked One, and slew his brother. And wherefore slew he him? Because his own works were Evil, and his brother's Righteous. 13. Marvel not, my Brethren, if the World hate you. 14. We know that we have passed from Death unto Life, because we love The Brethren. He that loveth not his Brother abideth in Death. 15. Whosoever hateth his Brother is a Murderer: and ye know that no Murderer hath Eternal Life abiding in him. 16. Hereby perceive we The Love of God, because he laid down his life for us: and we ought to lay down our lives for the Brethren. 17. But whoso hath this World's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his Bowels (of Compassion) from him, how dwelleth The Love of God in him? 18. My Little Children, let us not love in Word, neither in Tongue; but in Deed and in Truth. . JOHN 8:28-53. 28. Then Said Jesus unto them, "When ye have lifted up The Son of Man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath Taught me, I Speak these things. 29. "And He that sent me is with me: The Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please Him." 30. As he Spake these Words, many believed on him. 31. Then Said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, "If ye continue in my Word, then are ye my Disciples indeed; 32. "And ye shall know The Truth, and The Truth shall make you Free." 33. They answered him, "We be Abraham's Seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, 'YE SHALL BE MADE FREE?' " 34. Jesus answered them, "Verily, verily, I Say unto you, WHOSOEVER COMMITTETH SIN IS THE SERVANT OF SIN. 35. 'AND THE SERVANT ABIDETH NOT IN THE HOUSE FOR EVER: BUT THE SON ABIDETH EVER.' 36. "If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. 37. "I know that ye are Abraham's Seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my Word hath no place in you. 38. "I Speak That Which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your Father." 39. They answered and said unto him, "Abraham is our father." Jesus Saith unto them, "If ye were Abraham's Children, ye would do the Works of Abraham. 40. "But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you The Truth, Which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. 41. "Ye do the deeds of your father." Then said they to him, "We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God." 42. Jesus Said unto them, "If God were your Father, ye would love me for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but He sent me. 43. "Why do ye not understand my Speech? Even because ye cannot hear my Word. 44. "Ye are of your Father The Devil, and the lusts of your Father ye will do. He was a Murderer From The Beginning, and abode not in The Truth, because there is no Truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the Father of It. 45. "And because I Tell you The Truth, ye believe me not. 46. "Which of you convinceth me of Sin? And if I say The Truth, why do ye not believe me? 47. "He that is of God heareth God's Words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God." 48. Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, "Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a Devil?" 49. Jesus answered, "I have not a Devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. 50. "And I seek not mine own Glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. 51. "Verily, verily, I Say unto you, 'IF A MAN KEEP MY SAYING, HE SHALL NEVER SEE DEATH.' " 52. Then said the Jews unto him, "Now we know that thou hast a Devil. Abraham is dead, and the Prophets; and thou sayest, 'IF A MAN KEEP MY SAYING, HE SHALL NEVER TASTE OF DEATH.' 53. "Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the Prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself?" SIN IS THE BREAKING OF ONE OR MORE OF GOD'S COMMANDMENTS BY MOSES. Nothing more. No one has a right to make up Imaginary Sins that do not exist, and charge people with them. . DEUTERONOMY 4:1-2. NOW therefore hearken, O Israel, unto the statutes and unto the judgments, which I teach you, for to do them, that ye may live, and go in and possess the land which the LORD God of your fathers giveth you. 2. Ye shall not add unto the Word which I Command you, neither shall ye diminish ought from it, that ye may keep The Commandments of The LORD your God which I Command you. . MATTHEW 15:1-20. THEN came to Jesus scribes and Pharisees, which were of Jerusalem, saying, 2. "Why do thy Disciples transgress the Tradition of the Elders? For they wash not their hands when they eat bread." 3. But he answered and Said unto them, "Why do ye also transgress The Commandment of God by your Tradition? 4. "For God Commanded, Saying, 'HONOUR THY FATHER AND MOTHER: AND, HE THAT CURSETH FATHER OR MOTHER LET HIM DIE THE DEATH.' 5. "But ye say, 'WHOSOEVER SHALL SAY TO HIS FATHER OR MOTHER, "IT IS A GIFT, BY WHATSOEVER THOU MIGHTEST BE PROFITED BY ME;" 6. 'AND HONOUR NOT HIS FATHER OR HIS MOTHER, HE SHALL BE FREE.' Thus have ye made The Commandment of God of none effect by your Tradition. 7. "Ye Hypocrites, well did Esaias Prophesy of you, saying, 8. 'THIS PEOPLE DRAWETH NIGH UNTO ME WITH THEIR MOUTH, AND HONOURETH ME WITH THEIR LIPS; BUT THEIR HEART IS FAR FROM ME. 9. 'BUT IN VAIN THEY DO WORSHIP ME, TEACHING FOR DOCTRINES THE COMMANDMENTS OF MEN.' " 10. And he called the multitude, and Said unto them, "Hear, and understand: 11. "Not that which goeth into the mouth defileth a man; but that which cometh out of the mouth, this defileth a man." 12. Then came his Disciples, and Said unto him, "Knowest thou that the Pharisees were offended, after they heard this Saying?" 13. But he answered and Said, "Every plant, which my Heavenly Father hath not Planted, shall be rooted up. 14. "Let them alone: they be blind leaders of the blind. And if the blind lead the blind, both shall fall into the ditch." 15. Then answered Peter and said unto him, "Declare unto us this Parable." 16. And Jesus Said, "Are ye also yet without understanding? 17. "Do not ye yet understand, that whatsoever entereth in at the mouth goeth into the belly, and is cast out into the draught? 18. "But those things which proceed out of the mouth come forth from the heart; and they defile the man. 19. "For out of the heart proceed Evil Thoughts, Murders, Adulteries, Fornications, Thefts, False Witness, Blasphemies: 20. These are the things which defile a man: but to eat with unwashen hands defileth not a man." NO ONE HAS THE RIGHT TO IMPOSE COMMANDMENTS ON PEOPLE, AND PRETEND THAT BREAKING THEM IS A SIN. However, it is the DUTY of every Brethren to alert people committing Sin that they are breaking God's Commandments. . LEVITICUS 19:16-18. 16. "Thou shalt not go up and down as a Talebearer among thy people: neither shalt thou stand against the Blood of thy Neighbour: I am The LORD. 17. "Thou shalt not Hate thy Brother in thine heart: thou shalt in any wise rebuke thy Neighbour, and not suffer Sin upon him. 18. "Thou shalt not Avenge, nor bear any Grudge against the Children of thy people, but thou shalt Love thy Neighbour as thyself: I am The LORD." . MATTHEW 18:15-20. 15. "Moreover if thy Brother shall trespass against thee, go and tell him his fault between thee and him alone: if he shall hear thee, thou hast gained thy Brother. 16. "But if he will not hear thee, then take with thee one or two more, 'THAT IN THE MOUTH OF TWO OR THREE WITNESSES EVERY WORD MAY BE ESTABLISHED.' 17. "And if he shall neglect to hear them, tell it unto the Church: but if he neglect to hear the Church, let him be unto thee as an Heathen man and a Publican. 18. "Verily I Say unto you, 'WHATSOEVER YE SHALL BIND ON EARTH SHALL BE BOUND IN HEAVEN: AND WHATSOEVER YE SHALL LOOSE ON EARTH SHALL BE LOOSED IN HEAVEN.' 19. "Again I Say unto you, 'THAT IF TWO OF YOU SHALL AGREE ON EARTH AS TOUCHING ANY THING THAT THEY SHALL ASK, IT SHALL BE DONE FOR THEM OF MY FATHER WHICH IS IN HEAVEN.' 20. "For where two or three are gathered together in my Name, there am I in the midst of them." IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT SERVANTS OF GOD CORRECT ONE ANOTHER- OTHERWISE, JUDGMENT MAY COME ON EVERYONE- NOT JUST THE PERSONS WHO SINNED. A Servant of God corrects themselves immediately. A HYPOCRITE makes EXCUSES not to REPENT. |

Re: Is It A Sin To Point Out The Sins Of People by Nobody: 6:51am On Oct 04, 2020 |
The first comment on this thread says it all.. In addition, if thy brother (believer) sin, go and tell him privately. Rebuke openly rather than secret love. Above all, love one another and do all in the Love of Christ. Prayer: May we not do without or belittle or forsake the Holy Spirit in our daily life. Despite being a prayerful, righteous, careful, vigilant, and bible student christian, we must totally depend on Holy Spirit to lead us according to His will, vision, and plan for us because we still know nothing compare to the depeer mystery and revelation ahead of us. Despite having obtain and follow the rules, without Him, we can still do nothing.. Holy Spirit take full charge! |
