Hypocrite Christians

What do you think about them?

How do you communicate with them or do you just avoid them?

What makes them a hypocrite?, share your opinons and thoughts here.

Do they think because they go to church that they can act however they want the rest of time?

Why do they use religion to suit their own needs?

Do you think they feel that their holier than thou attitudes justify their unchristianlike behavior?

Religion attracts self rightious types.
Its all just to serve your own fears and egos...ahem... in my youthfull opinion.

Hypocrite: One who pretends to be pious, virtuous, without really being so.

Look how you act when someone is nice to you.

Nothing like a toy poodle nippin' at a pit bull's ass, is there?!!!

Ah, Mr. Pit, these are questions I hear alot. Being a Christian with an open mind, let me see if I can answer them truthfully without offending anyone.
1. I think hypocrite Christians are just that - hypocrites. But if they have taken Christ into their hearts, they are saved. What they do with it after is the key to turning the hypocrite route or not.
2. To communicate with a hypocrite is nearly impossible - the only thing you have in common with them is love of Christ.
According to the Bible, we have to turn the other cheek. This is something I find very hard to do.
3. I think that there are some born again Christians who look down on those who have not received Christ into their hearts (saved) and feel superior to them because they know that they are going to heaven and the others are going to hell. This kind of attitude is going to turn anyone off. I won't push anything on anyone, but I will certainly share my testimony if asked. My own husband doesn't go to church (my children were saved this past summer) and I know that if it is meant to be for him it will happen, but I don't EVER push it with him or anyone else.
5. I hope not. Being a Christian has very little to do with church. It is about having a relationship with Christ.
6. Again, I think that it tends to be a superiority issue. But it's wrong and the Bible says it's wrong.
7. And again, I hope not.
Before I became a Christian, any time someone would talk religion with me, I would run the other way. It is a very personal subject. I think that there are times in one's life when they wonder, why am I here, what is it all for? People take emotional inventory and find themselves lacking - something is missing. And that is when alot of people turn to Christ. I will tell you one thing - being a Christian doesn't mean that you no longer have any problems, or that you are happy all the time. I find that I feel sin much more deeply than I ever did, but that is a good thing. I am not perfect - far from it! But having a relationship with Christ has enriched my life more than I will ever be able to say. If anyone wants to discuss this further with me and wants me to share in more depth, please PT me.

Does a good Christian follow another around and call them names, especially the f word, which you have used repeatedly in your posts directed at me? You say you are a Christian, you say you believe in Christ. Yet you take great joy in trying to ridicule another, who is as you, a Child of God.

Just say it Rose, the "f" word is the "fart" word. And no, I don't follow you around - but I do find myself tripping over you all over this board - you're everywhere, saying outrageous things to people. And no, it doesn't give me great joy to ridicule you. You do a magnificent job of that yourself. You bring out something ugly in me, and it disturbs me. I try and see the good in everyone, but I am having an impossible time trying to find the good in you. Think you can help me out here - show me a Christian who is ethical, responsible and honest? You show me that and then we'll talk.

It sounds like you are describing our resident troll, rose.

Pray for your sins LL!!! Thou must not use the word 'fart' in relation to Rosemaries butt, its like one of the cardinal sins eh? I personally take great pleasure in ridiculing Rosemarie as she is the uber-hypocrite, christian or otherwise. There's jerks in all walks of life Mr PB, just because someone is 'saved' and now calls themselves a christian doesn't always change their basic personality, if they were a hypocrite before their still going to be one. But then there's those like Rosemarie that use religion as a weapon against others, and then as a shield when their told what unbearable dolts they are. Rosemarie watch out, your beginning to reap what you've sown.
