One thing I see all the time is double standards. Like the attitude, "It's alright for me, but not for you." I've been on the heavy end of this. Like, today I was waiting while my dropoff was in the bank, which is usually a 5 or 10 minute deal. So one lady started griping at me because she had to walk an extra 2 feet. {I wasn't right in front of the door.} BUT as I've seen so many times, these people do that {all the time}, and for longer periods of time than that--but of course when "they" do it, then it's fine, and they would argue with YOU for questioning THEM doing it. I also dealt with one lady who consistently took advantage of the time, even stating that the other customer can wait, no problem. But the same lady, one time I dropped off someone in between and she had to wait an extra SIX MINUTES {big deal} and she flipped her lid!!! {In other words, the other customers can wait, but not vice versa. Double standard!!} I've also seen where a certain person, or even political group, says everything but the kitchen sink about someone, but if the other person defends themselves, they villainize them!! Sooooo....the Bible doesn't specify, but is this making double standards sin? I would say, it's a form of selfishness, and also hypocrisy, that the rules only apply to one side, but don't like when it's applied to another. {them} Also, unfair judgments {"You have become judges rendering wicked decisions"} I would think double standards are sinful, a point?

How about double standards?

All double standards do not work in a Christian relationship. Specially in church where Jesus looks at our heart and not our face. Smiling faces could have double standards where they treat rich people one way while treating the poor the other way. Let us all remember this. People of double standard never experience happiness and joy in life. They do not act like Jesus. They really do not love the Lord.
People who have double standards usually have double personality traits. They do not know how to control his own life and the life of others. Favoritism on one person and not the rest is one form of double standard sinners use in our workplace. We should be fasting and praying before the Lord. They need Jesus in their life.

Would like to see double standards stop. Like, God let me be born into the male gender. All I hear on TV is women making degrading remarks about men. As a man, I find it offensive, {because it's slander, I don't do what they accuse "all" men of doing.} But besides that, this double standard, we...
