Many Christian charities, that is charities run by true converts, are unbiblical, and full of works which in seeking to be charitable by giving food the poor, helping "disadvantaged" children gain an education or rescuing harlots, who commit multitudes of adulteries of their own volition, from "human trafficking", are really acting out of unrighteousness for they act out of their humanistic sympathy.

Such humanistic sympathy is common, if not the key characteristic of western charities, whether "secular" or "religious". They act out of fleshly sympathy, having sympathy for those they seek to help, out of their carnality. They help because of the "lack" of "rights", "liberty" and "equality" of these in the so-called underdeveloped, non-capitalist, non-democratic nations who they so sympathise out of their own pride and envy.

You may arrogantly ask how you, as a western Christian could envy those in poorer nations. The question itself is extremely arrogant and full of pride, thinking oneself better off. You may argue that this is 'true', that a westerner living in the west has a more prosperous life. To think you are better off, and therefore have an "obligation" to sympathise the poor for their lack of earthly material things , which is a fruit of the flesh, is exactly what the problem is. It is because you envy, thinking that you "deserve" what you have, and that others are "entitled" to the same, as what you have, that you feel the sympathy that you feel. It is sympathy for others out of envy that if you had the same lack, you would feel that you were oppressed or unjustly treated. This is exactly what the problem is: to think that one has "rights", or entitlements.

The heart of the doctrine of "rights" is that of fleshly worldly sympathy. It feeds on the desire for worldly sorrow from others, and in turn shows such worldly sorrow as it seeks to receive such. The desire for worldly sorrow is of the flesh and pander to the flesh. Its pandering of the flesh is manifested by doing "good works" for others, thinking that it is entitled to the same. It is because it thinks itself entitled to receive rights that it thinks others to receive rights, to justify itself out of its own pride.
