sometimes the bible surprises us a little bit of course, and it puts it finger on things that we perhaps don't really want to talk about or we don't even consider as sins  and the bible is quite clear that not all sins are what we do  often there what we don't do  in parable that jesus told concerning the traveller, the man who went down to jericho, we don't condemn the priest and the levite for what they did, but we do condemn them for what they didn't do, their sin was not what they did, it was what they left undone, going over and looking at the man was very note worthy, as least there was some interest there  and we don't condemn them for that, but we do condemn them for hurrying along and not reaching out and helping the man  in the pistol of james and chapter four and verse seventeen james says there, any one then who knows the good he ought to do and doesn't do it, sins  so the sins that you and i comment or the sins rather that we are guilty of are not just the things that we do there of times the things that we don't do  and sometimes there more difficult for us to put a finger on, we can justify them so very easily  its been said that all it needs for evil to triumph, is for good men to say or to do nothing  well lets look at the, that,illu illustration there that we have in the second book of kings.
