At times I have acted like I was holy, spiritual nice, etc while thinking and doing things that were not. At times I have tried to make myself look more 'decent' than another. Religion, the accepted insanity. Humans cannot change Who God Is. They can represent (or misrepresent) Him. If you get a sense that the people have a genuine love towards you that is not faked, chances are that the religion is probably true. John 13:35 By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you love one another." Romans 12:9 Let love be without hypocrisy. Abhor what is evil; cling to what is good. Matthew 23:28 In the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. Luke 16:15 He said to them, "You are the ones who justify yourselves in the eyes of others, but God knows your hearts. What people value highly is detestable in God's sight. Galatians 2:13 The other Jews joined him in his hypocrisy, so that by their hypocrisy even Barnabas was led astray. 1 Peter 2:1 Therefore, rid yourselves of all malice and all deceit, hypocrisy, envy, and slander of every kind. Ephesians 4:25 Therefore each of you must put off falsehood and speak truthfully to your neighbor, for we are all members of one body. |
