The Hypocritical Nature Of ‘Christians’ Kills Me, Who Made Christians Judges In This Life?

Lesbians In A Popular Ghanaian Night Club,Accra

The biggest hypocrites in this life are Christians (that is what I think at least). We openly condemn and frown on things we perceive as sin and we show different faces behind closed doors. We are very quick to judge others and point accusing fingers.

I just laugh when people go for Evangelism to draw people to God, and the first thing they tell the ‘sinner’ is “Do you know what you’re doing is a sin?” If we’ve already judged the person before bringing him or her to God, what is the probability that the person will embrace your Christ? You have already condemned the person to hell. Some Christians even have a clique of people they like to associate themselves with…

If you do this or that, it is a sin. You play Sarkodie, it is a sin; you dance Azonto, it is a sin. I have given people lift and they ask me if I don’t have any gospel songs to play, this is not right. You cannot impose your preference on anybody. The God we serve is not a man sitting somewhere. If you want to see God, He lives in us.

Before you call down the Holy Spirit/fire on my poor head, let me first say I am not a homosexual neither am I an advocate. Why are we so quick to condemn homosexuals? Yes, the bible says homosexuality is a sin, but it is neither our place to judge or admonish them. The Pastors most of us look up to and call them Papas and Daddys are being caught red handed practising homosexuality. After preaching against this sin, they hide and do the same thing they preach against. Some people have practiced lesbianism in their school days and they judge as if they don’t even know what lesbians do!

Since the nomination of Nana OyeLithur as Minister of Gender, Children and Social Protection in Ghana, many individuals and bodies have raised objections on the grounds that she supports homosexuality. The International Council for Clergy is the latest body to raise their objection in Ghana. If the woman, who is married to the opposite sex, supports homosexuality, does it mean she is going to turn all children into homosexuals?

If I go into a shop and steal a lipstick tester and another person kills, we’ve all sinned; no sin is greater than the other. There is no special hell and condemned hell. We should stop being hypocrites and pocket lawyers. As Christians, we should learn to embrace everyone into the fold of Christ.

If you read the bible very well, God did not come for you the righteous one; he came for us the sinners. We should not use our negative attitude and judgemental way of life to draw people away from Christ. You may be surprised that on judgement day, the same people we call sinners, will be the first to enter into heaven.

The next time you’re about to stone the sinner, remember “He without sin should cast the first stone.” I stand to be corrected on my view of Christians. You can add or subtract!

  2. just to add up the same place it said homosexuality is a sin the Bible is where it clearly stated fornication and adultery is also a sin…..lots of so called Christians use that quote against homosexuals forgotten they are no better than them based on the Bible. also the Bible says we shudnt judge…so it will b gud if we just live everything in the hands of our creator… he is in the best place to judge between who is a sinner n who isnt.

    • @Abenaaaa, what do you mean by “….between who is a sinner and who isnt”? The last time I checked, it was written that we are all sinners.

    • @Afia, The writer is not telling you to “support” homosexuality, s/he is asking you to stop judging homosexuals. The writer is addressing the hypocritical attitude of Christians and the abuse of religion especially in our own country.

      One of the major problems the country is facing right now is the ABUSE OF RELIGION and it needs to be addressed in order to ensure development and progress in our country. Every day is church service and students spend more time at SU meetings than they spend on their books. All our educational institutions have been turned into religious institutions and any sensible person who discusses this problem is branded “the devil”. The derogatory and demeaning remarks about Africa by the west won’t stop if we don’t change the way we reason.

      Those gospel women have been preaching in Churches when 1 Corinthians 14:34 tells them to shut up and remain silent. The hypocrites will never comment about that. These sycophants are not obeying all Biblical rules and can never obey all Biblical rules but they never stop criticizing people who don’t obey some of the Biblical rules. Isn’t that the definition of hypocrisy? Pastor Oduro who preaches in buses told his audience that if one is able to point any bad thing he has done, he will stop preaching. I commented that he should cut that crap and go back to school. My friend started preaching me and I paused her and demanded that she should go and take off her weave before she continues because the Bible is against that. She was furious and that was the end of the friendship. Such hypocrisy is what I can’t stand! They will leave their own mess and come and complain about your mess. A sin is a sin regardless of its degree. I’m sure that is what the writer is drawing our attention to.

      • @Maame Yaa, so if every sin is sin why then no one should be jailed for stealing again. And no one should complain when another woman snatches your husband. And we should also not say anything against lying? I mean, is the message now that we all sin so sin is ok, or no one should talk against sin or what? I still don’t get it. If something is wrong it should be condemned or we should now support it? I’m really puzzled

        Reply
        • @Afia, because the writer is asking us not to judge but she’s also in a way condemning those who judge & the people she terms as ‘hypocrites’. So is the writer saying that he/she’s allowed to condemn others and even call them hypocrites but we shouldn’t say homosexuality is wrong, when it clearly is? or has homosexuality now become right? seriously, I don’t get the argument

          Reply
        • @Afia, Don’t go outside the box of argument because you will not confuse only yourself but some innocent readers. You are mixing biblical point of view with societal point of view. Stealing is an offense in the society and a sin in the Bible. Fornication is not an offense in the society but it’s a sin in a Biblical sense. Let me ask you this: has anyone been jailed for fornicating? The society care less about what the Bible have to say otherwise law officers won’t be executing criminals, they would’ve forgive them. Need I remind you that the society is not made up of only Christians? It also include those who obey the eight commandments of the flying spaghetti monster. The fact that I said “a sin is a sin” doesn’t mean it’s ok to sin! It is that simple!! If you go to the market and steal potatoes, God doesn’t see you any different from the one who harbor so much hatred for others. God doesn’t see stealing as a sin raised to the power 53 and greediness as a sin raised to the power 2. It doesn’t matter what kind of sin you are guilty of, or what kind of sin I’m guilty of, or what kind of sin anyone is guilty of; we are all sinners before God and therefore we are unfit to judge others of their sins. That is what I meant by “a sin is a sin”. Nobody is telling you not to speak against sin, It’s a fine line between speaking against a sin and judging (I choose to call it condemning) others of their sins.

  3. This writer or wherever you copied this from is looking for a trouble not everybody will agree with you but i think yoj should mnow that. Homosexuality is clearly condemned by the Bible. It goes against the created order of God. He created Adam and then made a woman. This is what God has ordained and it is what is right. Unlike other sins, homosexuality has a severe judgment administered by God Himself. This judgment is simple: They are given over to their passions. That means that their hearts are allowed to be hardened by their sins (Romans 1:18ff). As a result, they can no longer see the error of what they are doing. Without an awareness of their sinfulness, there will be no repentance and trusting in Jesus. Without Jesus, they will have no forgiveness. Without forgiveness, there is no salvation.

    Cor. 6:9-10, “Or do you not know that the unrighteous shall not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived; neither fornicators, nor idolaters, nor adulterers, nor effeminate, nor homosexuals, nor thieves, nor the covetous, nor drunkards, nor revilers, nor swindlers, shall inherit the kingdom of God.” Just because someone is a homosexual does not mean that we cannot love him (or her) or pray for him (her). Homosexuality is a sin and like any other sin, it needs to be dealt with in the only way possible. It needs to be laid at the cross, repented of, and never done again.
    As a Christian, you should pray for the salvation of the homosexual the same you would any other person in sin. The homosexual is still made in the image of God even though he is in grave sin. Therefore, you should show him same dignity as anyone else you come in contact with. However, this does not mean that you are to approve of their sin. Don’t compromise your witness for a socially acceptable opinion that is void of godliness.

  5. THE MISUNDERSTOOD OF JUDGING
    This is an issue that has confused many people. On one hand, we are commanded by the Lord Jesus, “Do not judge, or you too will be judged” Matthew 7:1. On the other hand, the Bible also exhorts us to beware of evildoers and false prophets and to avoid those who practice all kinds of evil. How are we to discern who these people are if we do not make some kind of judgment about them?

    Christians are often accused of “judging” whenever they speak out against a sinful activity. However, that is not the meaning of the Scripture verses that state, “Do not judge.” There is a righteous kind of judgment we are supposed to exercise—with careful discernment John 7:24. When Jesus told us not to judge Matthew 7:1, He was telling us not to judge hypocritically.

    Asks your self is not good same as judging, the funny thing (they will misquote the bible) they will say bible says thou shall not judge and quote Matthew 7:1-5.
    1. When we are judging we should use mercy in our judgement not to be hush on people so that when we too sin people will use the same mercy to judge us.
    2. We shouldn’t judge people before hand meaning condemning someone to hell and also heaven; I use heaven here because someone may say this guy or this lady is going to heaven whereby that person’s life does not pleased God Almighty, it is a sin to say what you don’t know. The thing is we humans our hears loves to listen to the only good news even though we know that what the person is saying is not true but oh the hear loves to hear it.

    People does not go to court because he/she is guilty but because he/she is right, so how will people know that he/she is right or wrong unless both parties be judged. You may know that party A is right and party B is wrong but to your surprise during the trial you will know certain things the party A did not tell you am talking about fair judgement. One question for you if you do not judge me how will I know that am on the right path or not? if you done wrong or you are in the wrong position and someone is saying it and you think he/she is judging you then when you do good should that person say it, because when he/she do it mean that he/she is judging.

    If a believer sees another believer sinning, it is his Christian duty to lovingly and respectfully confront the person with his sin Matthew 18:15-17. This is not judging, but rather pointing out the truth in hope—and with the ultimate goal—of bringing repentance in the other person James 5:20 and restoration to the fellowship. We are to speak the truth in love Ephesians 4:15. We are to proclaim what God’s Word says about sin. 2 Timothy 4:2 instructs us, “Preach the Word; be prepared in season and out of season; correct, rebuke and encourage — with great patience and careful instruction.” We are to “judge”.

    • @inchristalone, this is what good Christians like you do. You are so good at manipulation; you take something, then you add or remove some to satisfy your hunger to be right. Of course the first and second paragraph is exactly the same as what the original writer said but in the last paragraph, you chose to remove the beginning sentence and then you cut off the remaining of the last sentence; why is that? When you take something out of context, the whole meaning changes! The original writer never really said it was ok to judge like your last clause suggests. I hope you didn’t forget to read the comments as well…?

  6. Gayism is condemned by d bible…i beg which sin is not??? Christians r behaving like Gayism is d worst thing dat happened to d human race. Over the years “roman fathers” av been accused of molesting children esp boys n the catholic churches…all over the world have spent soo much money compensating the families of these children. homsexuality has come to stay…jx like fornication…adultery…theft n all other sins condemned in d bible. Pls if u r straight n fornicating with the opposite sex it doesnt mke u any better than d lesbians or homosexuals. ive always said this n i ll say it again..no one talked me into being Straight and no one has ever tried convincing me to go Gay…so i won’t tell anyone who is Gay to be Straight. Its their choice n their sexual preference so jx let them be…its only God who can judge. If u reading this n u r worried abt my kids….relax…cuz i ll mke sure they r sexually educated even befr dey reach puberty. if only parents were nt shy n too ignorant to educate children abt sex…no one would av talked any teenager into having gay sex..some parents r partly to be blamed.

  7. I don’t get some people sometimes.The fact that some people or Christians for that matter indulge in fornication doesnt make homosexuality right.If so why don’t we close down all our police stations & allow everyone to do whatever they like because the law makers & enforcers might also be involved in one crime or the other?Bad is bad & there’s nothing that can justify it.Period!

  8. Masa, to anyone at all who wrote this, listen and listen quite good, homosexuality is not only a sin but is an abomination in the sight of God.  So far if you read the bible even Israel went astray in the course of their journey to worship other gods but they were not burnt.  However, i hope everybody have a fair idea of what happened to sodom and gomorrha.  Moreover, not even go far do you see what has being happening to countries who do approve of this act a very good example is US of A. Look at all these things that are coming upon them, masa, i do support the individual who do not support nana oye lithur, i don’t know what she might be leading us to if she should be given the nod

  9. Hmmmmm, I read the article and interestingly I am in support of the writer. I am Christian, and I am not a lesbian. Like she said, stealing and killing are all sins, and so is adultery and homosexuality. As Christians, we don’t have to like such practices, but we are not the ones to judge. Christian’s gossip, and gossip is a sin because God is against it too. Instead of chastising these people, we can draw them closer by teaching them the words and ways of God. The words of God can make all things right, and I believe that is what God expects from us as Christians instead of condemning sinners. And we all know just as the writer said, Christ came not for the righteous ones, but for the sinners. The addicts, alcoholics, the homosexuals, murderers, the adultereous, etc. People judge you even from what you wear. I believe Ghanaians are too quick to judge and too slow to come up with solutions. I am a Christian and a pastor’s wife, and people think that means that I am supposed to be perfect in what I wear, how I talk,etc. Being a spouse of Presby pastor doesn’t mean I am an angel, and it doesn’t mean I am faultless. If people expect me the spouse to live such a clean life, how about the man of God himself. And my hubby will be the first to tell you that he is also with sin. Not sin as stealing or gossiping or killing, but even being angry at home to a certain level is sin, and it is easy to commit. I am with sin, and I will be the first to admit that I am in no way near good, but I try to always pray for the spirit upon me so that I can better myself. That is why instead of condemnation, it should be prayers.Prayers removes mountains and can make all things right. You don’t have to be friends with them, but you can pray for them. This is my opinion and I stand to be corrected please.

  10. I don’t know what GC is all about; from advertising homosexuals trading at the Mall and now condemning christians from telling the truth to those blind-folded by the lust of the world? It’s true we’r not to judge though but the same bible says that if a man is overtaken in any trespass, you who are spiritual should restore such a one? Do you know that the Saints shall judge the world?
    My little advice to us all is that; we must be careful and afraid of saying or doing any thing against the servants of God; it is at our peril if we do, for God will plead their cause, and reckon that what touches them touches the apple of his eyes. BEWARE

  11. @Yaa, I am not against your opinion but only support the writter simply because his article suits your character and what you think is right even though you’r married to a Pastor. Don’t forget that our invidual lifes preach the gospel more than the words we speak because every tree is known by it’s fruits. Apostle Paul said in the scriptures that if they preach and won no souls; they should look to the character of the women to win souls for Christ. SHALOM

  12. And you are right about what apostle Paul said, our behavior says a lot, but also remember what God said that he does not look on the outer appearance, but rather what is within. The bottom line is we can’t judge because it only God who has the full criteria of getting into heaven. You and I will agree that not all Christians and pastors and their spouses will end up there, but rastafarian, or a addict may end up there…. I mean in heaven. Thanks for you input.

  14. Sure there are!
    At the outset I want to pronounce you as a hypocrit yourself for describing Christians as hypocrites. I do so with foundation on your own model, “What right do you have to judge others?” which is the implicit theme of your write-up. You see why theBible is true?
    The rejection or abhorrence of certain behaviors by Christians is part of the manifestations of their belief. And this is guaranteed under the 1992 constitution of Ghana. If Christians speak against homosexual practices, they are only responding to the call by the faith to add to the creation of a more righteous society; one given to the things that please God than those that offend him. We are instructed not to judge but we have in the Bible a template of what a moral behavior should look like. And when a manifest behavior is not fitting to the template then it is an error. The duty of a true Christian is the preach Christ as the way to God. In other words, christians show the way. Most often this act of direction is construed as judging and so the import is lost. The Bible declares us all as sinner who have fallen short of the glory of God. But it doesn’t stop there. It goes ahead to delineate ways by which we can have the lost glory restored. So if some one points out your wrongs to you, he doesnt condemn you to hell. But a tickle to awaken your senses to your errors. I do not speak same of some over zealous ones who do not preach the word but their thoughts and base upon that erroneous foundation condemn others.
    For the things I have heard men of God and moralists say about the topic under discussion, they fall in line with biblical dictum expressed above. There is no hypocrisy in that.
    Such as there are so-called human rights activists there are Christian-moral activists and the latter group would be derelict in her responsibility to her followers and sypathisers if she succumbs to the often contorted liberalist views on issues of morality. It must be observed that the often passionate rejection of sexual immorality inclusive of which is homosexualism, is borne out of love. The scripture which was quoted at the vetting by Nana Oye. “love your neighbor as yourself” (Gal 5:14) implores Christians as a sign of love to share the hope which they have in Jesus Christ for salvation with their neighbors by preaching and advocating for behaviors that are congruent with Christian values.
    This is not to say that I support the call for Nana Oye’s nomination to be rejected. But haven declared before the house and Ghanaian as a catholic I support the call for her to declare her stands on the issue if the practise of homosexualism.
    In all of these know that Christians are a group set apart who cannot and must not seek to please people.Gal 1:10
    Thank you.
