It's called "hypocrisy". It is taught in every church, by LAW, it seems...


Anyone who can only find a God in a church...has not found a God.

The Church doesn't teach what is sin or what is bad, but teaches how someone can feel good about themselves. Since the Church doesn't abide by God's holy word of Torah, they have no standard to tell what is acceptable or not before God. So people flock to Church, told they are good people and they are forgiven for whatever wrongs they have done (without being told what is wrong or not to do them again) and when they return to normal life, they do those very same wrong things over, and over again.

Because they use it as an escape instead of what it's supposed to be. I think and I do mean I think, that it's supposed to restore you so that you have what it takes to do it all over again. This is a very difficult question. When you come back out, you don't really mean to do the bad things that you do, but how can you stop? That's why you go to church in the first place, right? We try. With God's help. That's all we can do. That's MY opinion.

I agree with several responders here...

We are born with a sinful nature;

God has given us His Laws, but He has also given us free will;

When we're in church, we are, for the moment, separated from the 'temptations' of everyday life, and it's easy to be, inside the church building, what we wish we could be (and really should be) outside of it;

Although some may assume that those who claim to be Christian should be 'perfect', there is truly only one who is sinless (perfect) in the universe;

If it were easy to be 'perfect', Christ would not have had to come and die on the cross for our sins (i.e. save us from receiving our own punishment for sin by taking our place and accepting our punishment onto himself);

Not all who attend church and/or claim to be Christian are really Christian. Not all have the Holy Spirit within them. Even the "true" Christian will sin, but as a true Christian we will do our best to "be like Christ". But when we fail in that task, the Holy Spirit, if He is truly within us, will "convict" us through our conscience ("inner voice") that we have done wrong, and it draws us to ask for forgiveness.

There are a lot of people who say they're Christian but aren't truly saved. Those who do this give the rest of us a "bad name", and the responder that said that those who do this actually cause people to be LESS drawn to Christianity is correct.

If these persons could see themselves through another's eyes, perhaps they would think differently about how they live their lives. But alas, that's not possible.

So all we can really do is pray for them.

People are sinners. Sinners do a variety of things. On the road to perfection our flaws get exposed. Pray for those people. Confront them if you feel comfortable. They need to know that the example they present can cause somebody NOT to come to Jesus. There have always been hypocrites. The church is no exception. Rise above it. See God for who He is and be a better example of what a shining light is. Bless you.

well we sing and shout because we are worshiping the Lord and the God that Blesses us daily, so were real happy about that and when you sing and praise real loud HIS HOLY SPIRIT SHOWS UP AND YOU GET A PHYSICAL BLESSING! Now we are all evil deep with in and we go to church to get more spirit to overcome my week *** flesh! But the bible says we all fall short, so in short we all sin but there is a Savior that forgives us our sin and wont count it against us on Judgment day! SEE That's why we sing again!

This is not a well thought out question. In Christianity, it is taught that every man is born with a wicked heart and he WILL sin. Just because someone goes to church does not mean that they're not allowed to sin. They are simply required to STRIVE against sin. Only Jesus was sinless.

diverse from a catholic mass. what's going to be the same, is that maximum non-denominational churches, like the catholic church, do no longer rightly divide the recognize truth, and for this reason do no longer even recognize what the reality is. There are 2 Gospels in the Holy Bible. The Gospel of the dominion, and the Gospel of the Grace of God. The latter saves. the former does no longer, no longer in the present dispensation of God's grace. the project with maximum churches, yours blanketed, is they attempt to blend all of it up into one gospel, which it isn't. Paul preached the Gospel of the Grace of God, given to him by technique of the risen Lord Jesus Christ. He advised the Galatians that if every person got here and preached the different gospel to them, that they were to be accursed. The "different gospel" that he observed grow to be the Gospel of the dominion, that it really is present day in Matthew, Mark, Luke, and John, besides as in the OT. He reported this because of what he referred to as "Judaisers", that could come, and verify out to placed Paul's churches back less than Mosaic regulation, preparation them to exhibit screen what Israel had observed for millenia. both Gospels are unique. they do no longer blend. One is the regulation. the different is Grace. come across a church that analyze and teaches proper branch, in accordance to the Revelation of the secret of God, and also you may want to ultimately be on the right route to doing God's will. "study to shew thyself approved unto God; a workman that needeth now to not be ashamed, rightly dividing the recognize truth." 2 Tim. 2:15

that is like asking why eve ate from the tree of knowledge, after she was told not to.....people were given free will...what they do with it determines how they live now and later,....if you see some one saying one thing, but living otherwise, then maybe they r not your friends.... rock on, and do what is in your heart...if your heart is pure, then you will be rewarded.

They do as they learn to. They want to be accepted and seen as a good person, but can't escape their own personalities for the greater good, so they find peace within the median. I'm not mad at them for it. To each, their own.
