compassion quotes from the bibleWhat do the "bowels of compassion" represent? 10 points?

What is this quote from the Bible talking about and what does it mean?
“But whoso hath this world's good, and seeth his brother have need, and shutteth up his bowels of compassion from him, how dwelleth the love of God in him?”

thank you
we consider the heart as where are compassion comes from for others back then it was their bowels.

but who ever has this world's physical goods and sees a brother have a need and shuts up his compassion toward him, how can the love of God dwell in him?

how can you say you love god and you see people hurting and need help and you can help them and do not, how can you say you love God.
This verse speaks about the love a Christian has in others. Tcompassion quotes from the biblehe word "bowels" comes from the Greek "splagchnon." The bowels of a person signifies the seat of his most aggressive passions, such as love or anger. The Hebrews more specifically noted the bowels as the source of tenderness, mercy, benevolence. The words "of compassion" were inserted in translation to point the reader to the emotion which the bowels held.

If a man has material wealth, and sees a brother in need, and does not feel inward compassion(or feels it and ignores it), how can God's love be in him?

"Now that you have purified yourselves by obeying the truth so that you have sincere love for your brothers, love one another deeply, from the heartcompassion quotes from the bible. For you have been born again, not of perishable seed, but of imperishable, through the living and enduring word of God."(1 Peter 1:22,23)
I'll be honest; I'm amazed that's a bible quote. 'Bowels of compassion' sounds more like a very Pratchett-esque comic metaphor, to be honest. The things you learn...
it means jesus can make bowel movements of your sins

Yes


Jesus Loves you


thank you for posting in Religion to seek Jesus
bowels of compassion are your deep inside feelings. If your brother in need cannot stir your deep inside feelings to help him when you have this world's goods then how can you have the love of God
