14 Sins of The Hypocrites
14 Sins of The Hypocrites
Isaiah 58:1
Have you ever noticed, that people call other people hypocrites and are not even sure what it means, or just assuming that a person is a hypocrite just because they make a mistake or do something which they don’t do or think they should do?
hyp·o·crite noun \Èhi-pY-Ìkrit\
: a person who claims or pretends to have certain beliefs about what is right but who behaves in a way that disagrees with those beliefs
I really hope this helps many people, because there are some things which are not here that can make people a actual hypocrite, but we are not to Judge other’s neither.
I have listed from the bible “14 Sins of the Hypocrites” and they can be found in the Book of Isaiah! These are mainly on when we fast.
Now watch and read, because this will help you not become a hypocrite.
