My Christian Convenience and Hypocrisy

14 For we know that the law is spiritual: but I am carnal, sold under sin. 15 For that which I do I allow not: for what I would, that do I not; but what I hate, that do I. 16 If then I do that which I would not, I consent unto the law that it is good. 17 Now then it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me. 18 For I know that in me (that is, in my flesh,) dwelleth no good thing: for to will is present with me; but how to perform that which is good I find not. 19 For the good that I would I do not: but the evil which I would not, that I do. 20 Now if I do that I would not, it is no more I that do it, but sin that dwelleth in me.
Romans 7:14-20
I am such a hypocrite. Also, I serve my CREATOR, based on convenience and not true faith. On the Sabbath, I am in congregation hypocritically 'praising YAHWEH', while supporting child slavery, terrorism, obesity, cancer, and a myriad of other causes I say I do not support. Also, I arrogantly assume "I am saved by grace", in order to justify my pathetic behavior.

CONVENIENT SACRIFICE
Would I sacrifice my convenient automobile transportation, if I knew automobile companies were supporting terrorism or child slavery? Unfortunately, my pathetic and hypocritical self would not make such a sacrifice; yet, I am supposed to a "light to the world". The only light I am shinning is a light of lies and hypocrisy. Would I sacrifice using this computer and internet, if I knew the computer company and internet supported a human genocide? Once again, my sanctimonious self would not give away my convenience of internet and this computer. If I needed a job to support myself and my family, because we were starving and homeless, would I take a job from a company that supported abortion? My pathetic and sanctimonious self would take that job and sell my soul, for the sake of convenience and comfort; yet, I have stated I am not in support of abortion.

IN GOD WE TRUST
The United States currency states "In God we trust", reminds me how hypocritical I am, because I do not trust in ADONAI more than I trust in the US currency. If the US dollar were to be worth nothing, I would not be stating "YAHWEH, may YOUR will be done!" or "Praise ADONAI!" In all honesty, if the US dollar were to have no value, I would be cursing and cussing out my "Beloved ABBA".

NO DIFFERENCE BETWEEN SINNER AND SAINT
I am no different than a career thief, in fact I am worse than a career thief, because I should 'know better'. A career thief knows he or she is a career thief and accepts the consequences of being a career thief. When I do something that is stupid and clearly wrong, and I suffer long-term consequences, I am the first person to shout "YAWEH, WHERE ARE YOU, YOU SON OF A BITCH (This is a mild form)!"

BE HUMBLE, QUIET, AND LONG SUFFERING
Since I am too sanctimonious to gouge out my eyes, due to my sins, whether figuratively or literally, as it states in the bible, I will focus on increased humility, silence, and long suffering. I will suffer long, hard and in silence, because my pathetic and sanctimonious self will have to learn humility lessons, in the most difficult manner possible.

Speaking for myself, YESHUA HA NOTZRI did not die on the cross, for me to live a life of convenient faith and hypocrisy, which is caused by selfishness and laziness.

As they say, "I'm just keeping it 100!"

 

100% agree with all of the above. My favourite scripture is in 1John 1:9 about having sin awareness and acknowledging it, and not being ignorant of it. I think we are guilty of so much in the west, with.all our excess and conveniences and luxury of not having to look the human beings in the eye who were exploited making the products that we buy. Lord have mercy. ..
