The Bible tells us plainly that we should not lie or steal, is this what they are doing? and what about the other sins?

Are they sins that is plain in the scripture or are they just sins according to you?

And what good works are they doing? busy boding is not good works and it is also not saving souls.

If what they are doing is just to be seen of men then they already have all the reward they will get.

Matt 6
1 Take heed that ye do not your alms before men, to be seen of them: otherwise ye have no reward of your Father which is in heaven.

2 Therefore when thou doest thine alms, do not sound a trumpet before thee, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and in the streets, that they may have glory of men. Verily I say unto you, They have their reward.

Yes, i knew a guy very well who would go back and forth from being a drunk to a saint, he was a much better guy when he was a drunk especially when he was sober.

But when he would change to a saint and get
with his church group he was so overbearing and self righteous that he was hard to take.

Basically, their good works is going to a homeless shelter each Christmas and Thanksgiving .... and then the remainder of the time is requesting donations from their friends for charities associated with their friends.
