First, thank you for the short sermon, that of which I already know. That said, being a Christian does not, in no way, shape or form, remove someone from being a hypocrite or being ascribed as being a hypocrite. Hypocrisy is real, within both politics and religion.
Of course it is real, but many folks point their finger at Christians and say “they are hypocrites” simply because Christians aren’t perfect, and fall into sin just like the rest of the world. I thought you were making that kind of a statement, accusing the father in the article of being a hypocrite simply because he .out his temper with his son, something most everyone does fro time to time regardless of their spiritual co diction, saved or not. All I was saying was that sinning after salvation does not make one a hypocrite,. The father isn’t a hypocrite because he lost his temper no more tha an unsaved person is a hypocrite because they lose theirs.
Yes, some preachers preach that they are sinless, then they go out and sin, but those people are charlatans. Even Paul admitted he was still in the throes of being a “chief sinner” and struggled with it.
J don’t think the father of the article ever claimed to be a sinless person. And it’s good that he did humble himself and apologize, which shows the Holy Spirit is working In His life, which is a lifelong process, so I don’t see him as being a hypocrite at all, just a person still struggling with the win nature that is I. All of us
