12/ When they refuse to help the suffering ... they make it the sufferers fault. "If I help you, I will become untethered from truth because you live in a way I disapprove of. Your suffering is YOUR fault because you can't accept MY truth and MY reality." - ThreadSky

13/ Second, they're driven by the desire to be seen not just as a savior for the sufferer, but as the corrective savior who pointed out the sufferer's horrible errors, life, etc. "I am right, you are wrong, and I will help ... once you admit that!" Here is what both movements miss in that approach:

14/ The Cross takes us as we are to renew and remake us in a process that can take a lifetime. Rigney, Reed, Wilson, Basham, et al who push this diabolical paradigm of sinful empathy are literally saying the Cross is wrong. Their narcissism insists their culture war is more important than the Cross.

12/ Any doctrine that excludes the suffering or lost based on man's niche views, or any reason outside of Christ's salvic words ... is antichrist by nature. Any ideology that demands the sufferer crawl, scrape, and bow to the truth the other holds before being helped or loved is malevolent.

13/ Christ did not bid man to crawl to His feet. Christ instead crawled on bloodied limbs, carrying the weight of the world on His back, so that man would be saved. The Sin of Empathy doctrine reverses that so that man must bow and scrape, not even to Christ ... but to other men.

Damnable.

14/ To profess the Sin of Empathy's doctrine is to openly say "I want people to offer supplications to me, I want to be obeyed like Him ... but I won't do what He did and meet people in their need. Don't bring that peasant to me until he's bathed and will kiss my ring."

15/ Those pushing this doctrine, quite simply, are people too narcissistic & too weak to live as Christic example. They look for reasons and ways to avoid demonstrating Christ. They fear what unfettered witness will cost them. They serve a savior who gave all, but they hold back all they can.
