858D: To Christian Fellows who hold the worldly definition of “聖潔”、 “偽善” , here is a response from my friend KNT:
Hypocrites and holiness
I think you have a strange idea of these two concepts.
A person is not a hypocrite if they merely repeat what God has said.
They are a hypocrite if they pretend to be someone they are not.
If God says they are righteous, then no one should be calling them hypocrites for trying to be righteous or teaching righteous living to others.
I don't know of many Christians who pretend to be perfect or claim that they are. But some might seem to think they are better than others because of their own goodness. That is not right, but we are human too and don't claim to be perfect.
Would a teacher of math be a hypocrite if they were to incorrectly calculate some math problem? No, just proves that they are human. Just because they are not perfect does not mean they do not know what they are teaching nor does it mean they are not trying. So, if they are trying, then they are sincere and if they are sincere how can they be the hypocrite?
The only real differences between a true Christian and a non-Christian is that the Christian is a sinner who is saved and they do not seek to sin. The non-Christian is a sinner who is not saved because they seek to please themselves rather than God. If anyone sought God they would find Him for He is not far away.
However, I can see where a person who accuses Christians of hypocricy is a real hypocrite. Because how can they judge a person who is trying to do what is right and then do whatever they want to do regardless of what God says is right? This is where you do not understand the bible definition of "holy". It does not mean perfect. Holy means "set apart".
Who sets the Christian apart?
God does.
How?
By sending His Son to die in our place. That is what makes a Christian holy or not, not our goodness, but the greatness of Christ's gift. So no one can boast before God. But if you do not acknowledge Christ as Lord of your life then you will die in your sins.
So what you are really doing by putting down Christians is putting down Christ's sacrifice and saying it is not good enough to make His believer holy and righteous.
