I do believe cranked is right, what you are describing as hypocrisy is actually “Unbelief”. But I do agree with the rest of your statement.
Not sure I’m fol.owing. I was describing what hypocrisy isn’t. I did mention that preachers will preach they are sinless and incapable of sin, the. Go out and si . That is to me at least, hypocrisy. A “do as I say, not as I do” type situation.
For instance, if a preachers tells everyone to sell everything they have, and give to the poor, and preaches that this is what Christ demands of Christians today (some preachers actually preach this) but lives in luxury himself, then that is of course hypocrisy, not unbelief as far as I can see?
I didn’t see that the father was being a hypocrite for losing his temper. Many times when we blow up,, the old nature comes roaring back full force,, and things come out of our mouths that we are shocked and embarrassed by.. but that doesn’t make us hypocrites, it simply makes us victims of our old nature, something we will struggle with our whole lives, some worse than others.
I perhaps miss read cranked’s post, but it seemed to me he was implying that the father was a hypocrit? He is a gospel singer, and yes, is therefore held to a bit higher standard tha we are, but he still is very capable of sin just like we are. His songs I don’t think sing about being perfect, at least I hope they don’t. (Except in The afterlife of course).
If I misunderstood the intent of his/your post (cranked), then my sincerest apologies to him/you.
