Hypocrisy of All Man

The most unfortunate and disconcerting idiosyncrasy mankind has persistently and subconsciously acted out throughout history is dishing out forms of hypocritical nature. The most prime and absolute example of this: They who insist upon believing in Christ yet living in worldly nature. This is the most common form of faith comprised with action- thus making almost every man guilty of being a hypocrite. For those who have belief in Christ furthermore call themselves a Christian, which is taking upon them the name of Christ. As such, who is to take upon him the name of Christ yet act out the opposite nature but he who is the hypocrite? Let none of us play the Hypocrite in this earthly life. If we take upon us the name of Christ by being Christians; let us not insult the manner and do otherwise. LOVE and ACCEPT those whom others (and your own hurt/offended feelings) insists is not worthy of such. Give freely and forgive those who trespass against you; for if Christ was willing to DIE for that person- can you not try to forgive, love, and accept them also? Let none of us be hypocrites like the Scribes and Pharisees who persecuted and murdered our Lord, such a manner of life only leads to DEATH. For if we are to be like unto Christ, yet act as sinners; do we then (by Sinning) proclaim false doctrine to the world that Christ our Lord was a minister of sin? God forbid such an insulting thing… yet it is done continually through our hypocritical nature.

We seek continually for the gifts of God; yet we already have received his greatest gift of all time and space. It is a gift to be worked and endeavored for, as it is the greatest gift and we must be worthy of it. This gift is our Christ, who we must always persevere after- and furthermore- mimic. Otherwise we are slaves. For Abraham had two sons: One of Sarah; who was free, and One of the Egyptian bondwoman Hagar. Which offspring of Abraham are you then? The Child of The Free, or the Child of Bondage?

The greatest of Thanks be unto God for his most unspeakable gift. May we continue to gladly pursue after Obedience and not Hypocrisy. Let us Love and Accept even those of different ethics like our Elder Brother loves and accepts every man, woman, and child born onto this earth.

I love you, All of you.

And though we may not talk often, I am glad to have you- even if it is in the instance of simply knowing your name. I hope in return, love can be set aside by many for me. Yet even if not, my love in Christ is enough.

With love-
