Monsignor Pope Ping!
There’s a world of difference between avoiding the negative and pursuing the positive.
Simply avoiding the negative can lead to an ingrown person who claims to be a Christian because of what they don’t do but all the focus is on them and their efforts and works. It can lead to completely ignoring others and their needs. It’s a great way to feed pride.
Jesus didn’t command us to just not do the *Don’t’s*.
We are also commanded to do the *Do’S*.
We to be proactive with people, not just reactive.
