When Jesus called people like the Pharisees hypocrites, I don't think He meant it as a compliment.But something happened recently that gives an example of hypocrisy.We've all seen how certain godless "liberals",when a Christian stands up for their principles,and a baker doesn't want to bake a cake for a gay "wedding",they're calling for all kinds of disciplinary actions{Or a Christian doctor doesn't want to perform an abortion}.BUT, when it's "the other side" doing it,like Trump spokesperson Sarah Huckabee ,Sanders, is denied accces to a restaurant of her choice because they don't approve of Trumps views,why then, because it's "them" doing it to the "other side",then of course it's alright.In other words, "their" side can make that decision, but "our" side can't.So would hypocrisy be a sin? I would think so,because it implies favoritism, and even self-centeredness, because they're siding with the person of 'their" choice, against the one they don't like."You have become judges rendering wicked decisions""Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will be filled" and,"Father forgive them for they know not what they do."

Hypocrisy a sin?

Its normal that in the world there are all kinds of injustices and unrighteousness happening. But its important that we know who we are and where we are standing. On the word of God. But there are i am sure many things where we as saved Christians must be aligned with the word of God, so i think its a waiste of time to look at their mistakes and sins. Rather to clothe ourselves in the armor of God and righteousness and all the rest of the weapponry of God to be protected of the influences of the world. They do not know better, even Jesus said, father forgive them, cause they do not know what they are doing. Even Judas, who was saved made a fatal mistake which led him into suicidal thoughts and act. Thank God for the redemptive sacrifice of Jesus Christ and His cleansing blood who can repair our mistakes and made us brand new. Even unsaved people when they repent and go the right way, they can be blessed. These are the spiritual laws of God who work for all.

I don't know if Judas made a mistake,I think it was according to Gods plan to go that way. Remember, if he didn't turn Jesus in, He wouldn't be crucified, and and we'd all be on the way to Hell!

That's something that's not revealed to us."For now we see things through a glass darkly"P.S. Also, the Antichrist, many will be saved because of his reign, so it's aplan, but Revelation still states that the Antichrist will go to the lake of fire.

Remember, God can even team up with the devil. Example?When the devil came to God to ask for permission to test Job. And God didn't say, "I won't deal with you because you're the devil".He gave the devil permission to go ahead.

I always think about how important the motives of our hearts are to the Lord and so it seems to me if a person knowingly willingly makes a choice based on a wrong motive their walking on very thin ice with it cracking as they go along. Its going to crack right out from under them for sure in fact its just a matter of time until it leads them to being all wet. I personally would love to be there to see it. Excuse me I better go check the motive of my heart. Smiling.
Hipocrites shall not enter the kingdom of heaven says Gods word. Gal. 5.19, 21 Let us all be honest before the Lord. He knows and sees everything we do and say.

Dear Lord Jesus. My parents don’t like me talking about puppets at church with my fellow Churchgoers because in the past, I talk about something and I repeat and obsessed about it because of my ADHD autistic behavior. But I am being on top of the situation of not being redundant and just calling...
I posted earlier about the Mayor allowing the cellars to be used as accommodation. The lying goes very very far. The architect, who knows this is illegal, came to the house and said "no one will check" (i.e., it isn't the workshop for which I gave town approval.) When I informed her anonymously...
I am very angry that the Mayor of our town made it possible for illegal accommodation to be built in the cellars in the shared house where I live. I now have all sorts of layabouts living there. My only ways to solve this? Justice of Peace (who knows the Mayor) or ask God, but for what?
