Re: Hypocrisy and Redemption
Welcome to PR, AV David.
My take: Hypocrisy is hypocrisy – whether sanctimonious or not. It’s wrong for you, me, Chris Christl, or anyone else.
I have been in and around Christians my whole life and never have I had one person come up to me and tell me what a good Christian he or she is. In fact, the opposite is true – they are humble and express regret that they have not been more faithful to the beliefs they espouse. That said, they don’t stop trying or make excuses for themselves. They hold themselves accountable.
We all should resent hypocrisy, but it’s not right to resent those with good intentions who are trying to better themselves and yet, still struggle from time to time. That doesn’t make them hypocrites, it’s just makes them human.
