Hypocrisy a sin?

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."
 
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.


Mercimaker1, you really made me laugh and you are very right. Its better to restraint ourselves of any criticism or judgement because who knows if we are maybe doing the same thing? Sometimes its scary to see that you are doing the same thing that you criticise. Uf!!
