There is a Limit When it Comes to Doing Good

Christians who do not understand that there is a limit to the things we are commanded by God to do often misquote verses to others who seem to be wrong to them even when those others are the ones doing what the Bible commands. Gal. 6v. 9 commands that we do good to all men, but first to our fellow Christians. That does not mean that we are to do good to literary each and every Christian we come across. Luke 6v. 38 says that when you give, you get back from men. This means that if a Christian never gives, he does not deserve to get from others based on Proverbs 3v. 27. Prov. 3v. 27 commands that you should not withhold doing good to those who deserve it. This means there are some who deserve and others who do not deserve it.

There are many Christians who are parasites. They only exist to get things from others but they never give anything to others. They cannot study the Bible for themselves and depend on others to explain it to them. Others cannot pray for themselves because they are busy enjoying themselves, or sometimes working, and those who minister to them by prayer and teaching of the word, they cannot support. These people usually quote verses to condemn others when they reject their wicked behavior of depending on others in a negative way. These people work and earn money, but after misusing their money, they come to ask their friends for help. And some of them earn more than the people they trouble with their requests. The Bible is very clear that one shall reap what he sows. If people have been helping you in any way, you must also help them. If you refuse to do so, they will realize you are a tick and stop assisting you in the future.

You are to do good only to those who deserve it. You cannot throw away what God has given you to people who never see the value of giving. Mat. 7v. 6 says that you should not give holy things to dogs. Those words were spoken by Jesus himself. Dogs are those who do not deserve your help no matter how much suffering they are in. Doing good to those who do not deserve it is a type of false humility. False humility manifests where people to pretend to be good when omitting key biblical principles. Jesus said a bad tree cannot bear good fruit when speaking to those who pretended to be good. He called them white washed tombs. These walking corpses think saying sweet things to others always is a sign of spirituality. We must follow the example of Jesus and all other godly examples by other biblical characters.

Jesus, and other biblical characters like Elijah, Paul, Peter, etc., did not always say sweet things to everyone. They also called down woe (curses) upon people. For example, forgiveness does not mean you withdraw the punishment due to somebody. You should forgive and ask God to punish the offender unless the offender repents before God. Jesus forgave the Roman soldiers because they did not know what they were doing, but God forgave David his sin, but punished him by killing his son. Judas was not forgiven because he knew the evil he was doing. The Roman soldiers had been given somebody to kill, and it was not them who judged him. He was falsely accused, prosecuted by the Jews, and surrendered to the Roman courts for sentencing. If you willfully attack me, I will forgive you but will ask God to attack you. Vengeance belongs to God based on Rom. 12v. 19. Asking God to punish your enemy IS NOT VENGEANCE. IT IS ASKING GOD TO DEAL WITH THOSE WHO WANT YOU DEAD. False humility will deceive a person that it is a sin to ask God to punish your enemy. Do good to others, if they deserve it.
