What Jesus Says About Hypocrisy And Hypocrites: Today's Christianity by iliyande(m): 10:41am On Dec 06, 2015 |
Jesus had the most to say about hypocrisy and hypocrites. Since He didn't mince any words on the subject, but directly confronted the religious hypocrites of His day (the scribes and Pharisees), they hated Him intensely - eventually having Him arrested on trumped up charges. Here is a list of some of the hypocrisy that Jesus spoke against: Giving to the poor to be recognized by others Praying in public to be recognized as "God's man Letting everybody know you are fasting to get recognition by others Complaining about other's behavior when yours is even worse Pretending to honor God through lip service only Testing other people to try to make yourself look superior Deceiving people from knowing God Repressing the poor and widows Teaching proselytes to be hypocrites Tithing (giving to the church), but neglecting justice and mercy Doing everything for show, while really being self-indulgent and unrighteous Treating stock animals better than fellow human beings Being able to analyze the weather, but unable to distinguish between right and wrong Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you tithe mint and dill and cummin, and have neglected the weightier provisions of the law: justice and mercy and faithfulness; but these are the things you should have done without neglecting the others." (Matthew 23:23) "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you clean the outside of the cup and of the dish, but inside they are full of robbery and self-indulgence." (Matthew 23:25) "Woe to you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! For you are like whitewashed tombs which on the outside appear beautiful, but inside they are full of dead men's bones and all uncleanness." (Matthew 23:27) Lalasticlala, ishilove |
