|  The '''lovers of their own selves''' more than they love their neighbor. They have no interest in edifying the Church as a [[Network]] of service to provide a [[Daily ministration]] so that people do not have to go to [[Benefactors]] who exercise authority to provide a [[Welfare]] that is a [[Snare]]. They would rather sit and eat with Rulers<Ref>[[Proverbs 23]] "When thou sittest to eat with a ruler, consider diligently what is before thee: And put a knife to thy throat, if thou be a man given to appetite. Be not desirous of his dainties: for they are deceitful meat."</Ref> and take of their [[Corban]] even though we know it makes the word of God to none effect.
|-
| The '''covetous''' because their lives are not filled with love and charity but [[Covetous Practices]] that curse their children and make them [[Merchandise]].
|-
|  They also are '''boasters''' and  '''proud''' of their claim to love the Lord. They imagine they know the date they ''accepted Him into their hearts'' and want others to make the same claim of accepting Jesus. We know that any one can make that claim but we are to know them by their fruits.<Ref>Matthew 7:16 Ye shall know them by their fruits. Do men gather grapes of thorns, or figs of thistles? Matthew 7:20  Wherefore by their fruits ye shall know them.</Ref> Some may have begun the process of repentance but they often cling to the emotional support of imagining their own salvation rather that actually seeing [[Repent]]ance as a change of mind and the direction of your life. They may even lead better lives but are they doing what the early Church was doing or do they use their claim to salvation to excuse the fact that they are not actually seeking the righteousness of God which Jesus and the apostles told us to do.<Ref> Romans 1:17  For therein is the righteousness of God revealed from faith to faith: as it is written, The just shall live by faith.
: [[Romans 3]]:5  But if our unrighteousness commend the righteousness of God, what shall we say? Is God unrighteous who taketh vengeance? (I speak as a man)
: Romans 3:21  But now the righteousness of God without the law is manifested, being witnessed by the law and the prophets;22  Even the righteousness of God which is by faith of Jesus Christ unto all and upon all them that believe: for there is no difference:
: [[Romans 10]]:3  For they being ignorant of God’s righteousness, and going about to establish their own righteousness, have not submitted themselves unto the righteousness of God.
: [[2 Corinthians 5]]:21  For he hath made him to be sin for us, who knew no sin; that we might be made the righteousness of God in him.
: [[James 1]]:20  For the wrath of man worketh not the [[righteousness]] of God.
: [[2 Peter 1]]:1  Simon Peter, a servant and an apostle of Jesus Christ, to them that have obtained like precious faith with us through the [[righteousness]] of God and our Saviour Jesus Christ:</Ref>
|-
|  Of course some are '''blasphemers''' which means they are ''speaking evil, slanderous'' of those who say people of real faith who say we should seek to be [[Doers of the Word]]. They cling to the idea that they have to do nothing. Some even say we do not have to [[Keep the Commandments]] even though that directly contradicts the [[Doctrines of Jesus]]. 
|-
|  And of course there are those who are  '''disobedient to parents'''. We see the same word in Titus 1:16 "They profess that they know God; but in works they deny [him], being abominable, and '''disobedient''', and unto every good work reprobate." And we see Jesus talking about the [[Corban]] of the [[Pharisees]] causing people to ''do no more ought for their parents'' which ''makes the word of God to none effect''. 
|-
|  And there is the '''unthankful''' who do not appreciate their parents or others who [[sacrifice]] for their [[welfare]]. They imagine the world owes them a living and lots of [[benefits]] or entitlements. 
|-
|  They are also '''unholy'''<Ref>{{462}}</Ref> because they are not interested in  "religiously observing every moral obligation". They do not even know what [[Pure Religion]] is.
|-
|  Ultimately they are ''despisers of those that are good'' works because they do not want to do good works and people who do make them look bad.
|-
|  All scripture<Ref name="scripture">{{1124}} </Ref> may be ''given by inspiration of God, and is profitable for doctrine, for reproof, for correction, for instruction in [[righteousness]]:'' bit not for [[private interpretation]].
