yes....and every one of us are guilty of it. I hate hearing how so many people are turned off from Christianity by hypocrisy. it's so sad...but I understand where people are coming from. I think people just have to keep in mind that everyone makes mistakes and you can't judge a faith by it's follwers mistakes. it's Jesus you're following...not Christians...so look to him as your example of what it means to be a perfect Christian.

Yes according to 2 Timothy 3:1-5 : But know this, that in the last days critical times hard to deal with will be here. 2 For men will be lovers of themselves, lovers of money, self-assuming, haughty, blasphemers, disobedient to parents, unthankful, disloyal, 3 having no natural affection, not open to any agreement, slanderers, without self-control, fierce, without love of goodness, 4 betrayers, headstrong, puffed up [with pride], lovers of pleasures rather than lovers of God, 5 having a form of godly devotion but proving false to its power; and from these turn away.

It'd better be--Jesus wouldn't shut up about hypocrites in the New Testament.
Ironic, huh?
