What about Hypocrites in the Church

“I would never become a Christian! Look at all the hypocrites in the church! Look at all the scandals of tele-evangelists, the Health and Wealth preachers, the Name it! Claim it! Frame it! hyper-faith prosperity preachers, two-faced frauds and conmen! I don’t want to be part of hypocrisy!”

Hypocrisy Condemned
God is far more offended by hypocrisy than you are. The Bible contains the greatest condemnations of hypocrisy ever recorded. The Apostle Paul wrote about:

“False apostles, deceitful workers, transforming themselves into apostles of Christ, and no wonder! For satan himself transforms himself into an angel of light, therefore it is no great thing if his ministers also transform themselves into ministers of righteousness, whose end will be according to their works.”
2 Corinthians 11:13-15

Paul also wrote of:

“false brethren secretly brought in…” 
Galatians 2:4

The Apostle Peter taught that we are to lay

“aside all malice, all deceit, hypocrisy, envy and all evil speaking.” 
1 Peter 2:1

The writer of the book of Hebrews exhorts us to:

“draw near with a true heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled from an evil conscience…” 
Hebrews 10:22
