Listen to the Verbiage

An imam in Texas on the radio was promoting killing of Jews by quoting the Koran, then came back later and apologized for "saying it", he never apologized for believing such a wicked thing, only that he said it.

Welcome to the world of the narcissist, they are never sorry for what they do or believe only that they got caught and it was not accepted.

Listen to the verbiage: "I am sorry I said it", others are "I am sorry that hurt your feelings", or "I am sorry YOU took that the wrong way."

The verbiage of the narcissist always places the blame on the other person, covertly enough that most empaths do not catch it.

When we take responsibility for our own things we use language like this: "I am so sorry I hurt you." or "I should never have done that foolish thing", how about "I can be a real stinker sometimes."

See the difference, the narcissist never takes full blame for his own actions, words or attitudes, while the empath cannot stand harming others, take full blame and make it right to restore the relationship.

The narcissist has no concern about restoring anything except their own elevated image, they care nothing about the welfare of others. The empath desires to restore the relationships, because of their love for others.

Here is how to recognize what is in yourself, do you hope to be recognized for your good deeds or does this not come to mind at all, while you are thinking about those in need rather than self?

By the way: broadcasting your good deeds on facebook or twitter is a way of bragging. These grandiose displays of pride are unnecessary, all that is necessary is that we obey Christ, no one else has to know what we do.

Matthew 25:31-46
31 “But when the Son of Man comes in His glory, and all the angels with Him, then He will sit on His glorious throne.
32 All the nations will be gathered before Him; and He will separate them from one another, as the shepherd separates the sheep from the goats;
33 and He will put the sheep on His right, and the goats on the left.
34 “Then the King will say to those on His right, ‘Come, you who are blessed of My Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world.
35 For I was hungry, and you gave Me something to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me something to drink; I was a stranger, and you invited Me in;
36 naked, and you clothed Me; I was sick, and you visited Me; I was in prison, and you came to Me.’
37 Then the righteous will answer Him, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, and feed You, or thirsty, and give You something to drink?
38 And when did we see You a stranger, and invite You in, or naked, and clothe You?
39 When did we see You sick, or in prison, and come to You?’
40 The King will answer and say to them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did it to one of these brothers of Mine, even the least of them, you did it to Me.’
41 “Then He will also say to those on His left, ‘Depart from Me, accursed ones, into the eternal fire which has been prepared for the devil and his angels;
42 for I was hungry, and you gave Me nothing to eat; I was thirsty, and you gave Me nothing to drink;
43 I was a stranger, and you did not invite Me in; naked, and you did not clothe Me; sick, and in prison, and you did not visit Me.’
44 Then they themselves also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see You hungry, or thirsty, or a stranger, or naked, or sick, or in prison, and did not take care of You?’
45 Then He will answer them, ‘Truly I say to you, to the extent that you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to Me.’
46 These will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.”

Matthew 5:1-2 "1 Be careful not to perform your righteous acts before men to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. 2 So when you give to the needy, do not sound a trumpet before you, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be praised by men. Truly I tell you, they already have their reward.…"
