Church People?

Question

Why are church people such hypocrites? They commit fornication, adultery, bestiality, homosexuality, and everything else. Why can't they be more like Jehovah's Witnesses? Thw Witnesses are so nice, and they knock on you guys doors to save you. At Matt. 24:14 it says: "And this good news of the kingdom willbe preached in all the inhabited earth for a witness to all the nations and hen the end will come." lso Matt. 24:19 says: "Then people will deliver you up to tribulation and will kill you, and you will be objects of hatred by all the nations on account of my (Jesus) name.

JEHOVAH’S witnesses take their ministerial activity very seriously. They are keenly interested in it, and rightfully so, for Jehovah is keenly interested in the ministerial activity of his people.

Answer 1

Jesus himself showed that anyone who elevates personal preference or human tradition above the bible is rightly called a hypocrite.

(Matthew 15:6-9) You have made the word of God invalid because of your tradition. You hypocrites, Isaiah aptly prophesied about you, when he said, ‘This people honors me with their lips, yet their heart is far removed from me. It is in vain that they keep worshiping me, because they teach commands of men as doctrines


Ironically, it is often those hypocritical self-described "Christians" who choose to attack Jehovah's Witnesses when the Witnesses work to obey their Lord and Savior.

(Matthew 7:1-5) Stop judging that you may not be judged... how can you say to your brother, ‘Allow me to extract the straw from your eye’; when, look! a rafter is in your own eye? 5 Hypocrite! First extract the rafter from your own eye


In fact, anyone who argues against the preaching work is working against the Christ.

(2 Timothy 4:3-5) For there will be a period of time when they will not put up with the healthful teaching, but, in accord with their own desires, they will accumulate teachers for themselves to have their ears tickled; and they will turn their ears away from the truth, whereas they will be turned aside to false stories. You, though, keep your senses in all things, suffer evil, do the work of an evangelizer, fully accomplish your ministry.

It seems significant that the relatively small religion of Jehovah's Witnesses are the ones best known for their worldwide preaching work. Yet Jesus commanded that ALL who would call themselves "Christian" perform this public work:

(Matthew 28:19,20) Go therefore and make disciples of people of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the holy spirit, teaching them to observe all the things I have commanded you. And, look! I am with you all the days until the conclusion of the system of things.
