The blindness of hypocrisy


Why is it we are able to see other's faults and errors and not our own. Or, how are we able to so easily ignore our defects of character yet condemn other's defects.
  • I believe a spiritual blindness has fallen upon us all, and some of us are willfully cover our eyes. Why do we think the "Church" as the SDA organization is going to make it through to the end, yet admit it is in apostasy? What evidence had God given us that He shakes the tares out of the organization and moves on with it?
  • All throughout the history of the Church we see that the Church is not made up of those who take on the Church's name, or becomes part of it's organization, no no, we see the opposite. The Israelites were shaken, yet to our eyes it looked as though God's True followers got kicked out of the Church or left it. Yet in God's eyes those people stuck to the foundation of Truth and were the True Church. Later they fell into apostasy and became the Roman Catholic Church. And the Reformers seemed to be kicked out of the Church, or leaving the Church. Not in God's eyes. The organization, by falling into apostasy and kicking out the True believers, were kicking themselves out of God's True Church.
  • When God shakes His Church those who are tares and just chaft kick themselves out of God's True Church by revealing their characters, and their love for the world and sin over God. So even though they may be in the original organization of the True Church, and the wheat has left, they have been shaken out of God's True Church.
  • Elijah lived out by a stream by himself instead of being among the apostate Jews. Jesus Himself had an independent from the "Church" Ministry, the Organization was constantly on Him to conform to their "authority".
  • Wake up my Seventh-Day Adventist brethren, it is passed midnight and we have to be ready today.
