in my 30+ years in my life I've met different types of people and mostly are very active in their church.They prayed, sing and some of them have position in Church. but most of them fooled me, discriminate and gossiping my family.I am witnessed how they speak bad words against my family. My family lend on them and they give higher interest .I remember during the time OF Jesus Christ.The Pharisee who are leaders in Judaism who persecute Jesus they speak and preach the word of God but never goes into their heart for their heart if full of evilness. and this are like them. I wonder why they don't feel ashamed in going to their church or is it because they make the church as part of their business as it is a way in meeting different people and selling or offering their products which they also have.and because they wanted to worship God because if their purpose is to praise God they will not leave in Ungodly ways.

I don't like hypocrite people. If I had sense they do have such characteristic, I will just leave them that way. There will be no effort to talk to them, I rather mingle with people having stone heart. They have stone heart just to be look strong for the people they loved, not for personal gains.

You are far too affected by this subject than you should be. What they do is their concern, what you do is your trouble. You know why you are going to church, and that should be the only thing that matters. You shouldn't care why they go to church. Moreover, everyone talks. People in general like to gossip. You just have to learn to ignore this, otherwise your life would be difficult as you would waste it on trivial things that are related to others.

I've encountered such kind of person. I won't say that everyone who goes to church are like those persons you described. 'Though some of them talks about good things, about God but do not actually prove it with their actions. They're the kind who don't want anyone talk behind their back and feels like their the kindest and the most religious person. But they do what they don't want people to do with them.

In this modern days most of the persons are hypocrites. It is really hard to see a honest person in this days. If a real person is available surely his surrounding will laugh at him and try their maximum to change him as a hypocrite. Most of the persons in this modern days have stone heart and don't care about others needs and necessities. In fact some persons don't help others even though they have the ability to do it. They are involved with their activities and don't mind about others. They call them as practical persons, really this kind of persons are people without humanity. Some times this kind of persons seems to be very kind with their words, but not with their activities. They will offer a lot of sweet and kind words to others and give some ideas and solution to solve our issues, but don't come forward to help us financially, if we need it from them. If they find an innocent person, they try their maximum to get help from him. Mostly this kind of hypocrites are selfish and do anything to fulfill their needs. They may act like a caring person when they need help from us. They will praise and lot and offer the honey showered words to win over our heart and fulfill their needs with their activities. If we are really innocent, we don't know about their idea and believe their activities and words and give our best help to them. They don't care about us after getting our help. If we need some help from them, they will try their maximum to postpone it and escape from that place. They are the real symbol of selfish. Since we are in need to live with such kind of persons. We must be careful about them, if you find out any person in this sort, just reciprocate the same to them. i.e learn from their activities and do the same to them to show that we are not funny or foolish person to cheat. We are smarter than them and have the ability to know about their real faces even though they covered it with a mask.

Such a bad thing. To happen in a most painful way. Hmmm what do i mena by time. It is so bad to know that there are these people whom you thought good people. It is really ery disappointing when you will learn that the people who claim to be very close to God and who often do GOd's work are the one who do inappropriate acts.

Your message is disjointed into two. You have on one side your view on these hypocrites, which is highlighted, and on the other what they do, the set box in which they are encamped. That makes two to tango, intertwined as what you see. It seems that all these elements in your tale are viewed by a person who has a set jaw in the matter. You have a history with them, that is for sure, and you want to set things straight. What is it that makes them so negative? Their hypocrisy, their lying, their foulmouths? Another question is do these people really exist in this relationship with the people who view them as such. How many more are there out there, who blindly lead the blind?

I agree, most hypocrite people are the ones who are so-called righteous but deny God from their acts and deeds. I have seen and encountered a lot of those people in my life. I have learned a lot from them too- and ignored them as well.

I am just amazed to go through your message which is really shocking.And I am also feeling for the bad time you are being experiencing with them...Keep away from such a company which really makes a disturbed situations in the practical life ..try to balance he situations you are facing and think something good than filling your mind with anything that has happened - think the Lord who will surely grant you peace....pray fervently and from the bottom of your heart....God bless you...!

I've met all sorts in churches too. i can say that I have made my best friends in church and my worst enemies. The thing is that church attracts all sorts of people. They join for a variety of reasons. For instance some people love to be in a community and they love to lead. Sooner or later these people rise to the surface and cause problems in every area of church life. This is due to lack of wisdom at the highest level of leadership in any particular church. In a well run church people who wish to join should be interviewed by mature Christians who will ask the right and difficult questions but find out if the faith of these people is genuine. Did they become Christians or are they just pretending. Repentance of past misdeeds is essential at the start of someone's spiritual life. Did that occur? Is their goal to be in leadership or to become like Jesus? Unfortunately in some cultures, and I would include English in this, people are reluctant to embarrass people with personal questions. There is a high price to pay when a wolf gets into the sheep pen. I hope people like this have not deterred you from joining other Christians in worship and fellowship. They will be judged eventually for the problems they have caused to communities in which they have played a part.

This of course is my opinion thats supported one my bad experiences with priests and people who claim themselves to be Catholic and Christian, but to me it isn't anything new. I don't associate the church with anything good nowadays. I believe in God and I believe that religion can do good but I just don't believe in the Church and what it is today. It really is turned into something of a business, but that all is the work of people. For example, I live in Poland and this a country that is almost run by the church. They stick their noses into everything, politics, school etc. There is even a tradition over Christmas time that priests come over to everyone's house, as long as they belong to are Catholic and come and see the people living there. The tradition is that in exchange for being blessed by his presence people give him an envelope with money that goes to the church. I don't believe in these sort of things and do not support it, nor do I support an organization composed of thousands of individuals that do not practice what they preach and expect others to do as they say. That is exactly what hypocrisy is. But again, this is my opinion and my stance towards the Church. Please do not mix that up with religion because to me the two are very much different.

I am truly sorry for the painful experience you are going through. Am not surprised that you write about hypocritical Christians, i have a family person so cruel so would run yet on sunday he is the first to arrive at church and at home he worships and leads in prayers. I honestly do not know where the fear of God by us human beings vanished to because most of us are worse than pharisees; we proclaim the word of God but our actions are evil. Nevertheless, take courage and pray; because i believe we are protected by Jesus during good and bad times. For me, i have come to realize that no matter how we wish the world would be better, evil still happens and truly that is life.
