Debunking ‘The Sin of Empathy’

Joe Rigney’s book 'The Sin of Empathy' argues that empathy is a distortion of sympathy and leads to moral compromise, but is that really the case? In this video, I break down the differences between compassion, sympathy, and empathy, clarifying the true definition of empathy, and examine biblical examples, including Jesus weeping at Lazarus’ tomb (John 11:35) and Paul’s command to weep with those who weep (Romans 12:15). I also respond to Rigney’s claims, exposing the strawman argument that falsely labels empathy as sinful. Watch as I debunk 'The Sin of Empathy' and defend biblical empathy as a virtue, not a vice.
