I think that’s part of the bigger problem with how people handle faith in general though. It’s not the letters or the rituals that separate folks from God, it’s the heart behind what they’re doing that does.

People do pick verses like they pick playlists, based on what fits the moment, but truth doesn’t bend for comfort. The Bible wasn’t meant to be edited around feelings or convenience.

And I’ll be the first to say none of us get it right all the time. We all fall short and that’s not just scripture, that’s reality. I’m not above it either. No one is. The difference is whether you’re trying to justify your fall or learn from it. And spiritually, falling short doesn’t make you a hypocrite, it’s refusing to grow from it that does.

And hypocrisy shows up anywhere people try to wear faith instead of live it. Whether you’re Greek, non-Greek, or not spiritual at all, the same rule applies. If your walk doesn’t match your talk, the label doesn’t matter.
