Which do you think is worse: An open sinner, or a false saint?

Question

I would say a false saint is worse, because of the lies he/she could spread while promoting "positive values" at the same time. thats a wolf in sheeps clothing.

An open sinner would care because they know that everyone already knows about what they do.

Answer 1

Wow,very cool question!A false saint is worse by far.I had to stop being friends with someone because everyone thought she was "just lovely" but it turned out she was stabbing everyone in the back and was a false saint.She was always so bubbly and positive that we felt like crap in comparison and she was so manipulative.
Give me an open sinner anyday,at least they will always tell me what they really think!

Answer 2

A false saint is worse because that is considered a Hypocrit, which God says is the worse thing we can be.

But an open sinner and a hypocrit has 1 thing in common--they'll both be in hell after they die if they dont change their ways while they're alive.

Answer 3

God says he wants us to be either hot or cold....in other words fully his or not at all. He hates "lukewarm"...which could be translated as a "false saint", I suppose. It seems that God wants us above all to be honest. However, in the end, both open sinners and false saints will have the same reward: death. So it's hard to say one is worse than the other in that respect.

Answer 4

False Saint. You can reform an open sinner but a false saint believes they are above everyone else.

Answer 5

Hands down, a false saint is worse. Lying is never admirable. At least an open sinner is honest and not hypocritical.

Answer 6

I hate the false saints -- they are hypocrites who put on a good show for the world but are as bad, if not worse, than the "sinners".

Answer 7

False saint~ hypocrite

Answer 8

properly, that's like this: often, the insults exceeded out by way of the truthful tend in the direction of the passive-aggressive. there is extra suitable than a touch arrogant, self-congratulatory feeling at artwork there (and in atheists too, I admit), and so the insults tend in the direction of the patronizing somewhat than being openly adversarial. So yeah, perhaps that's a touch harsh to be called a bigot and a moron, yet is it any worse than being instructed which you have an evil soul and deserve eternal punishment? All this over what, particularly else, comes all the way down to a rely of Opinion.

Answer 9

A false Saint....they can deceive people more...it's like what Captain Jack Sparrow said... "Me? I'm dishonest, and a dishonest man you can always trust to be dishonest. Honestly. It's the honest ones you want to watch out for, because you can never predict when they're going to do something incredibly... stupid. "
