Proud Hypocrites call Themselves Christians.
Yes! I see Numerous “Christian” Hypocrites Daily.
I have been in the Christian Ministry for 40 years. As an Evangelist, A Teacher, A Pastor, An Assistant Pastor etc… I speak from decades of Personal Knowledge.
After Many Years as an Assistant Pastor in a KJV Only, IFB (Independent Fundamentalist Baptist) Church I stepped down as the Assistant Pastor, I gave up all of my Positions in the Church and Left.
**** Note: I Left that Church I did NOT give up my Christian Ministries. ****
Why? I was Tired of the Hypocrisy I tried to Fix the issues but Failed. I had many Private Face to Face Conversations with the Head Pastor:
Me “Pastor your message was Not Biblical.” Reply “I will Admit it is a Grey Area. But I can show you several Sources I used…” Me “Please show me in the Bible…” Reply “I am talking about Non-Bible Sources…”
There were Many Conversations like the one above.
The Breaking Point:
Me “Pastor, You, are Not the Same Person as you were when I became your Assistant Pastor” Reply “I am Proud of that! Just Say What You Really Want to Say! I know something has been Building for Months Now!
Me “OK. You Have Been Very Unbiblical in your Preaching / Teaching in your Behavior. You Openly Attack People on the Streets, even in the Church. I have repeatedly talked with you about this. What you did Yesterday was Vile. Here is my Church Key. I will Not be Part of this any longer.”
Seven Hours or so Later, After the Pastor, Was Done Shouting at me… (He tried Everything he could to get me to Stay. Yes, He was Red Faced Shouting at Me for Hours while Trying to Get me to Stay…) I Left.
What Vile Thing did he Do? In Church He Called Several Teenage Girls Whores to their Faces. He was literally spitting in their Faces being less than a foot from them Screaming at them. His Face was Blood Red.
These Young Women were children of several Families that I had invited to Church. They were all between 13 and 16 years old. 4 Young Women who Were Called Whores. Simply because they wore pants and make-up.
He did his Sermon using his portable clip-on microphone standing right in front of them.
“I Don’t Allow Women in my Church with Painted Faces, to wear pants… I know why you wear Pants. You wear Pants to show off your Rear ends. All of You Prance around in Pants to Seduce men…”
He went on like this for a Good 20 minutes, saying even more Vile things about them. I was Shocked that the Parents of these Young Women did Not Get up and take them out of the Church and Leave.
It took everything in me to Not Confront the Pastor and Stop him, then and there. The Pastor Did Not Know Them at All.
It Is Not a Mystery Why People Quit Going to Church and Stop Going to Church Forever.
The Hypocrites in Churches Drive People Right Out of Church. Out of Church Forever.
Hypocrites In a Church is a Valid Reason for Leaving a Church. Hypocrites taking Over Churches are Led by Hypocrite Pastors that promote their Hypocritical Behavior.
Churches with Out-of-Control, Corrupt Pastors Drive People Right Out of Churches Forever.
The Behavior I described I have Repeatedly seen in that Church and in many Other Churches. Like I said earlier this type of EVIL Behavior from Pastors and Church Members Also, happens in Public to Strangers on Sidewalks, in Parking Lots, in the Streets, etc…
I have seen this behavior in YouTube Videos too.
These EVIL Pastor’s I am Convinced (NOW) are Not Saved.
“Christian” Cults:
Just because you walk into a Mainstream Christian Church Doesn’t mean you are Not Walking into a Cult.
When I was having my long Exit Conversation with the Pastor. It Became Crystal Clear to me that he was Not Saved, and he was Running a Cult.
He used Cultist Tactics to try to Get me to Stay:
God Put me in Charge of You!!!
God Will Curse You if You Leave!!!
You are Bound to This Church by Your Church Membership!!!
This is right out of the God Father and their Blood Oath. I Asked him to Prove to me from the Bible that Church Membership is Biblical. He couldn’t. The Answer for Cultist when they cannot find a Biblical Scripture to Back them up: “It is Implied in the Bible.”
You are Forbidden to See, to Talk to Anyone from this Church ever Again!!!
I will Announce to the Church that you are a Heretic!!! That they are Forbidden to Have Anything more to do with you!!!
(I was the Heretic??? He Did Not Even Accuse me of Teaching Any False Doctrines. I Told him I was Leaving because of His False Teachings. His Unbiblical running of the Church. He was Begging me to Stay. Between his Fits of Anger. He was Afraid of the Fallout He Expected to Happen After I Left the Church.)
Blacklisting People, Shunning them, Keeping them from Church Members, Family Members is Something All Cults Do.
He spent a Long Time Threatening me… This is What All Cults Do.
Remember I Left Because He was an Unbiblical False Teacher. Before I Left, I Gave him a Chance to Prove me Wrong. This is why our conversation took all day. He could Not Refute One Thing I said. He Proudly Admitted to Everything. He Admitted that he Did Not use the Bible to Back up his False Teachings…
Arrogant Hypocrites are Proud of their Vile Behavior. They are so Proud of it they post YouTube Videos of it.
Many “Christian” Churches / Church Members are Proud Hypocrites:
The Sex Scandals in these Churches are well Documented in the News Media. The Scandals come to Light because of the Victims. Because of Countless Criminal Prosecutions.
There are Hundreds of IFB Pastors and Church Members Guilt of Sex Scandals / being Pedophiles. This is Happening in All “Christian” Cults. Just look at the Catholic Church, The Mormons… The List of Church Denominations with Sex Scandals is too Long to list.
Jack Hyles and his Church had Multiple Sex Scandals with people going to Jail. Even with All of this happening his Church Kept Growing.
The Below link is my Blog on this issue, on Jack Hyles. To properly understand the Horrific Nature of False Teacher Jack Hyles and his Church you will need to read my Blog Below.

All of this information is very Easy to Find online. Search IFB Churches Sex Scandals. YouTube has hundreds of Videos about Sex Scandals in IFB Churches / in other Churches.
You Are Possibly Thinking I Already Knew All of This. But Wait I am Not Finished…
Ridiculous Excuses For All of the Hypocrisy, Sex Scandals, Corruption in “Christian” Churches:
I am Tired of Hearing all of these Bad Excuses:
1) Do Not Be a Hypocrite Everyone Sins. See:
Romans 3:23 For all have sinned, and come short of the glory of God;
Yes. But that Doesn’t Excuse a Pastor for being Corrupt, for Sex Scandals, Being a Pedophile, Being a False Teacher etc…,
This is the Bible Standard:
1st Timothy 3:2 A bishop then must be blameless, the husband of one wife, vigilant, sober, of good behaviour, given to hospitality, apt to teach; 3 Not given to wine, no striker, not greedy of filthy lucre; but patient, not a brawler, not covetous; 4 One that ruleth well his own house, having his children in subjection with all gravity; 5 (For if a man know not how to rule his own house, how shall he take care of the church of God?) 6 Not a novice, lest being lifted up with pride he fall into the condemnation of the devil. 7 Moreover he must have a good report of them which are without; lest he fall into reproach and the snare of the devil. 8 Likewise must the deacons be grave, not doubletongued, not given to much wine, not greedy of filthy lucre; 9 Holding the mystery of the faith in a pure conscience. 10 And let these also first be proved; then let them use the office of a deacon, being found blameless. 11 Even so must their wives be grave, not slanderers, sober, faithful in all things. 12 Let the deacons be the husbands of one wife, ruling their children and their own houses well.
2) Everyone Lies, is a Hypocrite. See:
Psalms 116:11 I said in my haste, All men are liars.
This is Deflection. The Bible saying this doesn’t mean that it is OK for Christian Churches to be Corrupt, to Have Pedophile, Sex Abusers as Pastors. Or that any of the Other Things that Causes Scandals in “Christian” Churches is OK.
3) If You Find The Perfect Church You Need to Immediately Leave Because You Just Ruined it.
The Notion That it is Normal for Christian Churches to have Constant Repeated Corruption in them, for the Pastor of your Church to Be a Pedophile, or another type of Sex Abuser is False.
Jack Hyles Church for Example has had Numerous Sex Scandals including Pedophile Pastors. To this Day Members at that Exact time will Vigorously Defend Jack Hyles Legacy. I know I have talked with several members of his Church, who were in the Church during All of Jack Hyles Sex Scandals.
4) “All Great Leaders Have Issues, Do Not be a Hypocrite.”
That is Not a Credible Defense. It is Just an Attack. Cultist Always Attack the Person who Calls Them Out / Calls Out Their Pastors. Cult Members Always Attack People Calling Them Cultist.
Jack Hyles’ Church is Still Plagued with Current Sex Scandals. The Church membership has Not Suffered…
Please Do Not Call Yourself a Christian If you are committing Fornication / Adultery. If you go to Bars, Night Clubs, To Vile Rock, Country Music Concerts. Behave Exactly Like the Unsaved World. This is Hypocrisy.
A Saved Person Can Do All the Above. But Being Saved Does Not Make a Person a Christian. The Bible Definition of a Christian is Christ Like. To Behave Like Jesus did.
To Be A Christian You Have to be Christ Like.
1st Peter 4:12 Beloved, think it not strange concerning the fiery trial which is to try you, as though some strange thing happened unto you: 13 But rejoice, inasmuch as ye are partakers of Christ’s sufferings; that, when his glory shall be revealed, ye may be glad also with exceeding joy. 14 If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. 15 But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men’s matters. 16 Yet if any man suffer as a Christian, let him not be ashamed; but let him glorify God on this behalf. 17 For the time is come that judgment must begin at the house of God: and if it first begin at us, what shall the end be of them that obey not the gospel of God? 18 And if the righteous scarcely be saved, where shall the ungodly and the sinner appear? 19 Wherefore let them that suffer according to the will of God commit the keeping of their souls to him in well doing, as unto a faithful Creator.
How to Live the Christian Life Without Being a Hypocrite:
Do Not Go on Social Media as a Christian and Then Verbally Attack people. Post Vulgar Memes / Pictures.
Every day I see Posts by “Christians” That are X-Rated because of Language, Because of Memes. Countless Posts / Replies with Very Rude 4 Letter Words. Behavior these people would Not do in person or in front of their Pastor / in front of their Whole Church. Just Ignore, Block People… Don’t Behave like the Worst People online do.
This is what the Bible Says on this subject:
Colossians 3:8 But now ye also put off all these; anger, wrath, malice, blasphemy, filthy communication out of your mouth.
Ephesians 4:29 Let no corrupt communication proceed out of your mouth, but that which is good to the use of edifying, that it may minister grace unto the hearers.
Ephesians 5:4 Neither filthiness, nor foolish talking, nor jesting, which are not convenient: but rather giving of thanks.
Matthew 12:36 But I say unto you, That every idle word that men shall speak, they shall give account thereof in the day of judgment.
Psalms 19:14 Let the words of my mouth, and the meditation of my heart, be acceptable in thy sight, O LORD, my strength, and my redeemer.
Philippians 4:8 Finally, brethren, whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue, and if there be any praise, think on these things.
How to Be Saved:
Believe the Gospel Only for Salvation:
1st Corinthians 15:1 Moreover, brethren, I declare unto you the gospel which I preached unto you, which also ye have received, and wherein ye stand; 2 By which also ye are saved, if ye keep in memory what I preached unto you, unless ye have believed in vain. 3 For I delivered unto you first of all that which I also received, how that Christ died for our sins according to the scriptures; 4 And that he was buried, and that he rose again the third day according to the scriptures:
Romans 10:8 But what saith it? The word is nigh thee, even in thy mouth, and in thy heart: that is, the word of faith, which we preach; 9 That if thou shalt confess with thy mouth the Lord Jesus, and shalt believe in thine heart that God hath raised him from the dead, thou shalt be saved. 10 For with the heart man believeth unto righteousness; and with the mouth confession is made unto salvation. 11 For the scripture saith, Whosoever believeth on him shall not be ashamed. 12 For there is no difference between the Jew and the Greek: for the same Lord over all is rich unto all that call upon him. 13 For whosoever shall call upon the name of the Lord shall be saved.
