The word “hypocrite” is used as a weapon by God’s enemies. They know they are misusing the word, but they still do it because it makes decent people who lack confidence withdraw and reflect so those who are not on God’s side have no challengers. It is very nice to see that Bristol has learned big, general lessons from her experience. I’m betting on her turning out as a wonderful adult.
Isn’t that the truth. So much can be seen just from the way people express themselves. Without regard for how religious a person may be, if they live in a world of blame, regret, and bitterness, you know what kind of spiritual shape they’re in. Bristol clearly has “moved on” - best of luck to her.
"Hypocrisy is NOT failing to practice what you preach. (We're all sinners who fall short periodically....) Hypocrisy is PRETENDING to have beliefs you don't actually have."
I like this definition because it exposes God's enemies who use it all the time for the hypocrites and liars they are!
