Hypocrites in Religion

[DayStar]

double post.

Being saved is a spiritual transformation. Actions take longer to line up with your spiritual transformation. It's on the inside. If you are ugly you will still be ugly. If you are trifling you probably will still be lol. Unfortunately some peoples actions will never line up during their entire miserable lives. It's a darn shame.

Anyone that is SUPER CHRISTIAN is a red flag to me because more times than not, they are more evil and more cunning than a sinner.

Yep, lots.

To me, the problem is not that people belong to a religious group and have flaws. We all have flaws, we all fall short of something, in some way.


The problem is when people start acting holier than thou b/c of that affliation and then they dont measure up to what they are claiming. That's my problem.

I was trying to say the SAME thing, but the words just wouldn't come out right. I have no problem with the person who presents themselves as an imperfect person living an imperfect life, but who is really trying to live the best life they can by following 'x' faith. Just don't stand around quoting scripture when talking about all that others are doing wrong, but conveniently flip past the pages of your holy book that speak against the choices you're making.

Then certain Christians should keep God's name out of their mouth, especially in reference to what other people are and are not doing.

If, in the process of spiritual transformation, you have time to worry about how saved other people are and whether or not they are going to hell, you're doing it wrong.

Remove your rafter before you worry about my straw. That's the entire issue in a nutshell, IMO.

Is this going to be moved to the CF?

 

[yvette]

Have you ever met someone that professes to be the such a Christian, Jew Muslim Sufi Hindu or whatever

But they don't act like it

I work with a few holy rollers but to me they are HYPOCHRISTIANS cause how in the heck can you be saved for 10 years and have a 7 year old and a 10 month old by different fathers.

Please clarify this

Girl, stop. I was raised Pentacostal (no longer practicing, thank goodness) and my church had nothing but unwed mothers in it. I am not talking about ladies that just had recently joined the church and ended up pregnant. I am talking about girls/ladies that had been going to that church for YEARS. Also, it was not just the teenage girls getting knocked up, we had some thirty year olds getting knocked up to. It was just out of hand.

Probably not, since this thread will most likely be perceived as negative, judgmental, and Christian bashing and we all know how positive and nonjudgmental the CF is.

I always found it strange that people would want to live their lives dictated by the bible. The same book upheld by folks who were so religious yet couldn't accept that people who didn't look like them were even fully human. These same force fed Christians then look at you like you're crazy because you aren't following suit. Puzzling... Religion encourages division and judgmental behavior...sad. I'm not saying there isn't any good in religion but for me it doesn't outweigh the chaos it has caused.

The god that I serve wouldn't look down at someone like, say Oprah, dismiss all of her accomplishments and banish her to hell because of her choice to "live in sin" (fornication).

So yea Almaz, I know tons of religious hypocrites, or maybe I've misinterpreted the point of religion.

 

[Poohbear]

After we die, we either all going to heaven or all going to hell... or, we all just gonna die like dogs and that's it.

^^^I think this is what Almaz meant.

I cant stand people like that. Telling me I'm going to hell while smoking their weed in my face. What the floozy

Just because you run into hypocritical people you will still have to give an account to God for your own life when you stand before Him. So dont let what others do turn you from the Lord. Work out your own soul salvation with fear and trembling. We have all been hypocrites at one time or another, even those you dont consider themsleves to be religious.

Dang SF, you sho did call it. But considering the CF rules listed below, I'm puzzled yet again.

Agreed. People like that are so self righteous that they dont realize that they can't go around condeming people. We ask fall short without grace

Everyone is a hypocrite about something. It can be something big or something small, but we are all hypocrites about something. The good thing is that God meets us where we are and He works on us and can deliver us. There is nothing wrong with professing to be a Christian, BUT the second you do so people begin to watch you like a hawk and they are waiting with baited breath to point their finger and say, "See! I knew it! This person is a fake just like the rest of them." Years ago when I was in college I worked at a department store part-time and everyone knew that I was saved. I witnessed to some of the ladies there quite often. All the while there was a man there I was involved with and I should not have been involved with him at all. One day this girl, who was not saved looked at me in the eyes and said, "How can you say you are a Christian when you are doing what you are doing?" That comment humbled me. The point I'm trying to make is that the minute I think I'm better than someone else, God reminds me of my faults.
