@pio Just asking. Is it bad to ask?
no - nothing bad about questioning - but this was not my question
This section is for Jesse Lee Peterson biblical questions if you want to discuss religion please do it in the doctrine section.
Here is a slightly different perspective on the biblical question. It doesn't state it as sin but accountability for one's actions.
BIBLICAL QUESTION OF THE WEEK:
*What is a hypocrite?*
“Woe to you, teachers of the law and Pharisees, you hypocrites! You shut the door of the kingdom of heaven in people’s faces. You yourselves do not enter, nor will you let those enter who are trying to.
"
Matthew 23:13 NIV
Hypocrisy is when the Democrats try to blame Trump for colluding with the Russians with no evidence but it's because the only people who were colluding with Russians were the Democrats with the Steele dossier and uranium one.
But the Democrats are really bad example because they are basically nihilists who have completely sold out and decided that power for its own sake is the most important thing.
@J_G_ I agree to that! 👍
I'll take a stab at the biblical question!
The definition of hypocrisy:
*The practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform; pretense (dictionary.com)*
Synonyms: deceitful, cant, insincere, dishonest, false virtue
In today's society, we often call someone "Two-faced", "Snake-In-The-Grass", or "backstabber". Because most of society is very self-centered, hypocritcal ideology can often appear. This can easily lead someone to sin because it can develop anger, greed, sexual immorality, jealousy, and possessiveness.
A couple of examples of hypocrites are sweet talkers, con-artists, and people who are preachers who don't put God in the center. Hypocrites are of the flesh and can often be found as a Child of the Lie.
There are many quotes in the Bible about hypocrisy, but this one stuck out to me in The Book of Job in the Old Testament :
*But the hypocrites in heart heap up wrath: they cry not when he bindeth them. They die in youth, and their life is among the unclean.
Job 36:13-14 KJV
*
To summarize my statement: Be not a hypocrite and live a life of Satan for death will dwell in you. But be of TRUTH and live the life of Christ and have the Kingdom everlasting.❤✝
hypocrite is when you live a lie

Hypocrisy is when you say one thing but do the opposite.
It’s best to keep it simple
Hypocrisy is talking the talk without walking the walk.
It is the absence of character
When I think about this biblically, what comes to mind is the many Christians in the modern day who claim they’re Christians, and whether or not they go to church every Sunday,
They have “dumbed down” the faith. Their lives are absolutely no different then those without faith; they have a lack of moral character, make poor decisions, feed in to the “lies” of the masses, and often times use those lies to bend Christianity to their will (ex: abortion, gay marriage) these people to me are the epitome of hypocrites in the faith.

BIBLICAL QUESTION OF THE WEEK (9/17 - 9/22):
*Can a job or a career bring peace?*
Yes. If the job/career is one that is meaningful to the person who does it. Is it just a job to them, or do they feel they love their job, bc it feeds them internally or they’ve built a family with clients, coworkers etc. giving them a sense of higher purpose beyond the pay
No.
It seems like any other drug eventual the dopamine isnt there to make you happy for ever. So one would have to keep digging for more money more time at work. Using it to escape your personal problems.
feeling good because you got that bonus damn I want bonus now.
I don’t think they can.
I think they give you the illusion of it.
Peace can only come from contentment, and existing within the kingdom of heaven, and existing within God
its my money and i want it now!!!
I'm not sure about peace.. But all i know is financial burdens really stress people out, i would think it could bring peace to one aspect of your life - overall peace tho? I doubt it.
But it could help bring you closer to peace... By lowering your stress level, its almost impossible to attain peace when youre a basket case
Answer: No
I'll explain later this week 😃
