Christian Hypocrites....What to do abt them?
-
How would u advise a Christian brother, who every time says great things about God, but still continue to live a life of sin?
-
you tell him to stop talking about God and talk about his own sins.Originally posted by laoda99:How would u advise a Christian brother, who every time says great things about God, but still continue to live a life of sin?
in other words, a confession. -
crucify.
-
Its his choice. No point asking him to repent of he doesnt want to.

sigh....

Example A, a Christian Bro who appears very pious among co-workers. Always eeek here eeek there when pple talked abt porn. But when he borrow money from lots of colleagues (after begging and begging and begging) he failed to return. First he said his mother hospitalised, and then he hospitalised. Whenever this happen he mass sms everyone in the office for $10/- each.
When sms him "where's the money" he would reply "I hospitalised". Msg again he would reply "I hospitalised" again and then later "No money".
Think he owed two managers two thousand over dollars each liao and certain colleagues a few hundreds each, all borrowed over a period of time.
Example B, a Christian Bro who always talk abt the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ and how Christians have gained salvation thru Christ. But deep inside he is a maligning hypocrite who is also a closet gay.
How to deal with these sorts of pple? -
would that also not apply to all of us?Originally posted by laoda99:How would u advise a Christian brother, who every time says great things about God, but still continue to live a life of sin? -
Christian Bro?
Take away that label, he is still human after all. -

we are all human, in the end.....
some of us are trying to deal with our problems, the others bury them.
I'd look at such "sins" on whether they affect the self, or the others. If it's self afflicting, then I really can't do much, assuming I've done my best to counsel this individual. If these sins affect others, in your example, borrowing money especially mine, not returning, then I'd probably get really nasty.
at the end of the day, no one's a saint. we all have choices to make. -
if i am close to that guy, i would just mention it to him directly. he might be in serious financial problem for all i knowOriginally posted by laoda99:How would u advise a Christian brother, who every time says great things about God, but still continue to live a life of sin?
anyway, it all boils down to his formed and informed conscience whether he wants to do anything -
Firstly, you might not have to "do" anything except to pray for God to grant him mercies and guide him to repent of his ways. ForGod knows about hypocrisy....which many (including myself) is guilty of at times.Originally posted by laoda99:How would u advise a Christian brother, who every time says great things about God, but still continue to live a life of sin?
Isaiah 29
29:14 Therefore, behold, I will proceed to do a marvellous work among this people, even a marvellous work and a wonder: for the wisdom of their wise men shall perish, and the understanding of their prudent men shall be hid.
29:15 Woe unto them that seek deep to hide their counsel from the LORD, and their works are in the dark, and they say, Who seeth us? and who knoweth us?
29:16 Surely your turning of things upside down shall be esteemed as the potter's clay: for shall the work say of him that made it, He made me not? or shall the thing framed say of him that framed it, He had no understanding?
Secondly,
Does he sins against you by being a "hypocrite" ?
If he does - then:
Matthew 18: 15 - 17
If your brother sins against you,go and show him his fault, just between the two of you. If he listens to you, you have won your brother over. But if he will not listen, take one or two others along, so that 'every matter may be established by the testimony of two or three witnesses.'If he refuses to listen to them, tell it to the church; and if he refuses to listen even to the church, treat him as you would a pagan or a tax collector.
But first and foremost, we have to forgive:
Matthew 18:20-21 "Then came Peter to Him, and said, Lord, how oft shall my brother sin against me, and I forgive him? till seven times? Jesus saith unto him, I say not unto thee, Until seven times: but, Until seventy times seven." -
there are plenty of such people, not just in the christian faith.

Haha... beat them up until dying n ask them whether praying to Jesus will help them now. Well, I know that Christians r the most hypocritical being on the surface of this Earth. Most of them like to say great things abt the bible, abt Lord Jesus, abt how he die for their sins, how they will go to heaven eventually... blah, blah, blah.... Yet, seldom see how their actions reflect their thinkings. Really a pathetic lot!

my former lady colleague is always in a bad mood, 365 days!! she yells at everyone, including her parents and in-laws.
she has the words of God pinned all over the partition. she told me she is going to heaven. all just because she prays everyday before going to bed. she asked for forgiveness every night.
her husband, a devoted buddhist even converted!!!!
THIS IS SIMPLY AMAZING!!!
P.S. nothing against christianity. such people makes religion look bad, any religion. she belongs to the devil!! -

i also get to know that you are pridefully violent by the comments you made above. So are you actually better than the Christians you condemned ?
I really dont know which is worse.

We are saved by grace thru faith which is not from ourselves but a gift of God, so that no one could boast.
