What does the Christian bible say about hypocrisy?

[trotsky]

James 1:26
If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.

James 4:17
So whoever knows the right thing to do and fails to do it, for him it is sin.

Romans 2:3
Do you suppose, O man—you who judge those who practice such things and yet do them yourself—that you will escape the judgment of God?

Sad that so many Christians find a way to ignore these pretty obvious statements. I guess when atheists are saying negative things about religion on the Internet, all bets are off. Jesus said it was OK then.

But then again, you can always just ask for forgiveness.

[Cuthbert Allgood]

2. Metaphor, dude. Metaphor.

3. It says that the people calling themselves christian these days are mostly going to hell.

Kind of a shame there isn't one.

And that we can't send them there right now.

7. claiming to be christian is like being a memeber of the...

..."last second club", where you can do whatever you want, no matter how bad, up to your last second upon which you repent and are saved and everything bad you ever did is forgiven and you get off scott-free.

The Last Second Club

11. You literalist!

The things written in the Bible don't mean what they say ever! Except the ones that do, which I will never specify which ones those are.
