Giving a million dollars to food banks and charities makes you good person with a generous heart but what about a pure heart like the bible talk about ?

Are you doing it just to say your saved ?
Are you doing it just to get your business name some expose?
Are you doing it cause you expect a favor given from the same people later on ?
Are you doing it just to tell the world your a rich tycoon ?

Marriage tells the world your a good person thinking about somebody other then your self but what about God?

Did you marry a believer like God said or not---1 Cor. 7?
Did you marry somebody in a marriage covenant when the wisdom of man says it null and void
ONLY---Romans 7:2-3?
Did you marry the widow God told you to or not---1 Timothy 5:9?

Good friends tells the world your a good person but what about friends that God has really for you?

God has unbeliever friends we click with to a certain extinct ONLY---Luke 16:9.
We need Samaritian friends if somebody robs us or we need a car push cause our car stopped on us.
Their not in our life for social parties and casual fun---2 Cor. 6 and Amos 3:3 and John 8:32.

God really has believer friends in our life to really have intimacy with the most besides Jesus
Christ---2 Cor. 6 and Amos 3:3 and Psalms 133:1 and John 8:31 and Titus 3:10 and Gal. 1:8-9
and Matthew 7:6 and John 17:21.
Their the people to make converts out of ONLY---Matthew 7:6 and Matthew 5:6.
Their the people to pray for ONLY---John 17:9 and John 17:21.
We should desire 90% of our time with these people ONLY----Gal. 6:10.

Again the noble goal is NOT about a better then you theology just a unity theology
with 100% bible believers ONLY----Psalms 133:1 and Amos 3:3 and John 17:21 and 2 Cor. 6
and John 8:31.

Why pick apart what motivates someone when we should be only concerned with ourselves.

1COR 4:5 "Therefore judge nothing before the time, until the Lord come, who both will bring to light the hidden things of darkness, and will make manifest the counsels/motivations of the hearts: and then shall every man have praise of God."

We're told not to be busybodies in other people's business but to what instinct ? 2 Timothy 2:15.

Got to know if you messing around with believers----1 Thess. 5:12.

Got to know if you clicking with believers----2 Cor. 6:14-17.

Got to correct sin of others or rebuke sin like the bible say---James 5:20.

Chrisitianity is not a religion to yourself being a good Johnny ONLY---John 8:32.

Many good Johnny people in the wisdom of man going to hell---Matthew 5:17-20.

Many people living out the 10 commandments going to hell----Matthew 5:17-20.

They suppose to have a way to heaven without water baptism---John 3:5.

They suppose to have a way to heaven without modest attire----1 Peter 3:3.

They suppose to have a way to heaven without tongue rules---ALL of 1 Cor. 14.

They suppose to have a way to heaven without correcting people with the bible---James 5:20.

They mock the least of the commandments and think they saved enough with the 10
commandments only----Matthew 5:17-20.

They get bolder and say being a blood boaster makes them saved enough--Romans 6:1.

They defend Christianity teaching with the wisdom of man only----1 or 2 Peter 1:20-21.

They rather have 90% of the bible in publication print only---2 Timothy 3:16.

They want to make 10% of the bible some overstrict teaching to compare to the 613
old law ordinances today----John 8:32 and John 1:17 and 2 Timothy 2:15.

How we're born again is not some animal offering law to compare to today--John 3:5.

How we dress today is not some circumcision law to compare to today--1 Peter 3:3.

How we live modest today is not some natural high priest law to compare to today---1 Tmothy 6.

Again unity with 100% bible believers ONLY is the goal even if some people take it the wrong
way----Luke 6:26 and Psalms 133:1 and John 8:31.

Luke 6:26---Woe unto thee if all men praise thee.

No, but I know a whole lot of otherwise "good people" who think they have the right to say who's a Christian and who's not.

I think in that case, we're all doing fine then.

I do think it's a good thing if Johnny is good, though. It's good to be good. It's bad to be bad.
