Marie,
You ask a difficult question.
No-one EVER knows, except God Himself, as to what really lies in the heart of
another's soul. But, as it is written that, "a man shall be known by his
works." (With time.)
It has become increasingly difficult, especially in these latter days, to
tell the righteous from the unjust. As it says, "In those (latter) days,
deception shall abound, such that even the "saints" should be deceived, if
that were possible".
I myself don't know whom to "trust" anymore. But, God is ALWAYS trust-worthy,
and that is upon Whom one should always depend.
The world, in the end, is not ruled by men, (eventhough it right now might
seem to be), but instead always by God.
A hypocrite is found out in due time. How else could it be discerned? One who
speaks about the principles of truth should with time adhere to them, then
their "works" shall be known.
>No, I am a disciple of Jesus the Christ! The First Son of God! Amen.
*************
Me again:
So, let me get to the heart of the matter: How do you tell if an individual
is a hypocrite or a real Christian? I'd surely like to know how to tell if a
Christian leader is the real thing or just another politician on a power
trip.
Marie
