Why would a group who worships God and/or Jesus promote hypocrisy?
Generally or do you have specifics in mind?Why would a group who worships God and/or Jesus promote hypocrisy?
My experience has been that a persons hypocrisy is not known to the person until it is pointed out to them.Why would a group who worships God and/or Jesus promote hypocrisy?
the current situation of evangelicals promoting trump. or the old biblical situation of the pharisees.Generally or do you have specifics in mind?
evangelicals promoting trump
Because if you can get away with it, it can gain you temporal advantages.
Though not the best of what God wants, apparently it is common but Paul didn't care:Why would a group who worships God and/or Jesus promote hypocrisy?
Because they only "say I worship God", they do not practise what they sayWhy would a group who worships God and/or Jesus promote hypocrisy?
Though not the best of what God wants, apparently it is common but Paul didn't care:
Phil 1:14 And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear.
15 Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will:
16 The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds:
17 But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel.
18 What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice.
God has a way of turning lemons into lemonade.
like those who set in high places, woe to them that have to go/come downBecause they only "say I worship God", they do not practise what they say
God isn't a an anthropomorphic thing from afar as jesus so often experienced and described. jesus let the pharisees know in no certain terms with the seven woes.
Hypocrisy is what service to self is all about. He who loves theirs more than me, is not worthy to enter the kingdom of God. If them and theirs are good enough, they can have a lesser version of the fullness of God
I do/did not judge them for promoting hypocrisy, I just answered your questionlike those who set in high places, woe to them that have to go/come down
Why is that hypocritical? It's not as though anyone believes in Trump, or believes him. He's just the lesser of two evils.the current situation of evangelicals promoting trump....
says god" God isn't a an anthropomorphic" -- says who?
I.e. They're hypocrites.Because they only "say I worship God", they do not practise what they say
if a person were going to fall and hurt themselves, it would be cruel not to say something. no judgement needed. a slip hazard doesn't care who you are.I do/did not judge them for promoting hypocrisy, I just answered your question
you seem to believe that everyone goes by what a preacher, a pope says. they don't. some people refer to god over the leaders of the congregation. the Spirit of the Law is not written in stoneWhy is that hypocritical? It's not as though anyone believes in Trump, or believes him. He's just the lesser of two evils.
Just consider the hypocrisy of Jo Biden. He pretends he's a Catholic but embraces abortion. For that reason he was denied mass in 2019.
"Canon 915 positively requires ministers of holy communion, especially pastors, to withhold the sacrament from Catholics "obstinately persevering in manifest grave sin.” Public support for abortion, its preservation in law, and/or its public funding, are sinful acts under Catholic moral analysis."The real question is, why would anyone vote for Joe Biden considering he's an A* hypocrite?
We could have a day job, to warn all those that "fall and hurt themselves".if a person were going to fall and hurt themselves, it would be cruel not to say something
ExactlyI.e. They're hypocrites.
