Feeding Your Enemy

Romans 12:20 "“But if your enemy is hungry, feed him; if he is thirsty, give him a drink; for in so doing you will heap burning coals on his head.”
We do not use kindness for the purpose of heaping coals, we obey God in loving others and it may produce hot coals but it is no our job to work at producing the coals.
Deliberate feigned kindness for the purpose of causing guilt is nothing more than manipulation and is sinful. It's sinful because it is not real kindness it is fake without love. It is for the purpose of elevating self, also a deeply sinful act. It is for the purpose of feeling superior toward someone, nothing more than self-will and self-promotion.
Philippians 2:3-4
"3 Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility consider one another as more important than yourselves; 4 do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others."
