such a s***** person is basically what the Bible is saying over and over again.\n\nAnd it's getting your subconscious.\n\nSo guess what?\n\nYou act out being a s***** human being.\n\nSo the Bible poisons people, makes them into sinners.\n\nAnd what most people do because of the shame of it, they begin to hide their sins.\n\nSo they claim one way of living while doing the complete opposite.\n\nAnd that's where hypocrisy comes from.\n\nIt's you trying to follow some moral absolute that you can't follow.\n\nBut in this case, religion is making you the bad person by telling you over and over again, you ain't s***, you're a sinner.\n\nKey points.\n\nWhat's up, good people?\n\nThis is your host, Neil Real, and this is the Apostate Apple broadcast.\n\nIn this episode, I'll be exposing the hypocrisy I see in the church, the psychology of hypocrisy and the negative effects of hypocrisy and how to become an authentic person.\n\nSo let's get right into it.\n\nWhat is a hypocrite?\n\nWell, being a hypocrite is the practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior doesn't conform.\n\nSo basically you say you do one thing, but you don't.\n\nThat's hypocrisy.\n\nChristians teach that the Bible is the infallible word of God, and it stated that the word of God, this is their foundation, this is what they believe, yet they don't follow it.\n\nSo I'm just going to read some of the passages just to confirm for anybody who doesn't know the Bible what it says.\n\nAnd these are the passages that Christians use to say that the Bible is their foundation.\n\nTwo, Timothy 315 through 17 is their main verses.\n\nIt says from emphasis, you have known the Holy Scriptures which are able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.\n\nSo right there, the Scriptures, the Holy Scripture is the Bible is able to make you wise for salvation through faith in Christ Jesus.\n\nIt goes on to say in verse 16, all Scripture is God breathed.\n\nSo all Scriptures, all Scriptures in the Bible, every scripture you read is God breathed and is useful for teaching, rebuking, correcting and training and righteousness so that the servant of God may be thoroughly equipped for every good work.\n\nSo this is their foundational, scripture passages for saying that the Bible is there.\n\nIt's what they use as their foundation.\n\nThere's other passages for Psalms Twelve and six, psalms 19 and seven and Proverbs 35.\n\nWe're not going to read those.\n\nBut nevertheless, the Christian is a hypocrite.\n\nA lack of love is the first hypocritical thing I've seen in churches.\n\nWhy are mainly left of the church.\n\nAnd so their Bible says in First John I mean John chapter 13, verses 34 through 35.\n\nAnd I'm reading all these Bible verses through the new international version.\n\nSo it's the NIV.\n\nIt says, a new command I give you, love one another as I have loved you, so you must love one another.\n\nBy this, everyone will know that you are my disciples if you love one another.\n\nSo Jesus or God commanded the people, Christians, the everyday Christian, to love one another.\n\nContinuing on, it says in another passage, first John 421, it says, and he has given us this command anyone who loves God must also love their brother and sister.\n\nAll right?\n\nNow, the Bible doesn't just stop there and tell you to love people.\n\nIt defines what love is so that nobody has a misunderstanding of what love is.\n\nOne Corinthians, chapter 13, verses four through seven says, love is patient, love is kind, it does not envy, it does not boast, it is not proud, it does not dishonor others, it is not self seeking, it is not easily angered, it keeps no record of wrongs.\n\nLove does not delight in evil, but rejoices with the truth.\n\nIt always protects, which means, doesn't gossip, always trust, always hopes, always preserves.\n\nSo the Christian has a definition of what God requires of them when it comes to loving their brothers and sisters, and they still don't follow it.\n\nI've seen a lot of impatience.\n\nI've seen a lack of kindness, very unkind and really mean things people were doing to one another in the church.\n\nI've seen a ton of envy, as I mentioned in my last broadcast, boasting, dishonor of others, self seeking, which it means to be self centered, you name it.\n\nGossip, the people are just practicing this stuff.\n\nAnd what are you doing?\n\nHere's another example of hypocrisy, the lack of respect.\n\nThere are many Christians who say, well, respect is earned.\n\nI don't have to respect everybody.\n\nWell, the Bible tells you otherwise.\n\nOne Peter, chapter two, verses 17, it says, show proper respect to everyone.\n\nLove the family of believers, fear God, honor the emperor.\n\nRight?\n\nShow proper respect to everyone, not to rich people or people that you like that you want something from, to everybody, the homeless man, the janitor, everybody.\n\nLove the family of believers.\n\nIt says people within the church, once again, it talks about in.\n\nFear God and honor the emperor.\n\nIn this case, they mean the president.\n\nSo all the Christians that make fun of the president, whether you're Democrat or Republican, you need to honor that person as well.\n\nSo I just want to key on, though, to show respect, proper respect to everyone.\n\nIt's a Bible passage.\n\nIt's a command from God, as we just said.\n\nAll right, if Christians claim that the Bible is the infallible word of God, in Second Timothy 315 through 17 says that all Scriptures is God breathe for teaching, rebuking, we have to follow this.\n\nAnd yet I didn't see that back then.\n\nI didn't see that happening.\n\nIt was consistently the opposite.\n\nSo just another example of hypocrisy.\n\nHere's another example, and I'm trying to get through with these quickly.\n\nHomosexuality, adultery, fornication that's running rampant in the church.\n\nYou got whole homosexual churches, you got homosexual choir members and pastors and congregants who just practice homosexuality, living in it.\n\nThis is their lifestyle.\n\nThis is what they do.\n\nYou got adult tree going on, you got fornication.\n\nYet here's what the Bible says.\n\nOne Corinthians six, nine through ten, or chapters six, verses nine through ten.\n\nIt says, do you not know that wrongdoers?\n\nWill not inherit the kingdom of God.\n\nDo not be deceived.\n\nSee, and I like that verse when I was a Christian, because it gave people an understanding that, look, your pastor may tell you everything you about to read after this is going to be okay, that you can do these things and still get into heaven.\n\nBut it says, don't be deceived.\n\nAnybody telling you, hey, you can practice all these sins after this and still get into heaven.\n\nNo, they're deceiving you.\n\nSo it says here, do not be deceived.\n\nNeither the sexually immoral, which is translating other passages as fornication or sex before marriage.\n\nAnd that may include other stuff, sexual stuff, like bestiality sex with your family members.\n\nI forget the name of it right now.\n\nIt goes on to say, neither idolagers nor adulterers nor men who have sex with men.\n\nSo we know that's homosexuality, nor thieves, nor the greedy, nor drunkers, nor slanderers, nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.\n\nAll right?\n\nNow, church people are good at calling out people who get drunk.\n\nBut the greedy, they're going to h***, as it says here.\n\nThey're not going to inherit the kingdom of God.\n\nSlanderers.\n\nSo anybody in the church talking trash about you behind your back, that's not true.\n\nAnd just that person will not inherit the kingdom of God.\n\nYet Christians practice these things on a daily basis.\n\nThey have no fear.\n\nThey just do it and they're hypocrites.\n\nContinuing on, we got some more here.\n\nWe're going to wrap this up.\n\nDivorce and remarriage.\n\nThere's a lot of that going on in the church, obviously, but the Bible says something else.\n\nMark, chapter ten, verses eleven through twelve.\n\nIt says, he answered, this is Jesus speaking to somebody who asked him a question.\n\nAnyone?\n\nHe says, who divorces his wife and marries another woman, commits adultery against her, and if she divorces her husband and marries another man, she commits adultery.\n\nSo the Bible is saying that if you get divorced, there's other passages that say God hates divorce, but it's not necessarily a sin.\n\nBut if you get remarried, oh, now you commit adultery, you see.\n\nAnd how many remarried couples do you see in the church today?\n\nPastors included a bunch of divorced and remarried people sitting around.\n\nAnd by the way, when I read these passages, I'm not condemning none of you all because I don't agree with most of this stuff here.\n\nSo I'm just showing you how you got a bunch of Christians who have a Bible that they say is the infallible word of God and that we should follow it, but they don't.\n\nAnother passage that supports the first one, luke, chapter 16, verse 18.\n\nIt says, anyone who divorces his wife and marries another woman commits adultery, and the man who marries a divorced woman commits adultery.\n\nSo you divorce your wife and marry another woman, you commit adultery.\n\nAny man who marries a woman that's divorced is committing adultery.\n\nThey don't let anybody who divorces get remarried without it being some type of consequence.\n\nThis is what the Bible says.\n\nNobody follows this, by the way.\n\nNow, I was a teacher of this.\n\nI would teach people this.\n\nOne of my biggest regrets in ministry was teaching this, because a lot of women would call me, email me, can I do this, that and other.\n\nAnd I'm like, no, I can't tell you nothing else.\n\nThe scriptures.\n\nThe scriptures?\n\nDon't say that.\n\nI can't tell you that.\n\nA lot of women had to stay in relationships that may have been unhealthy.\n\nI always told them to leave if it was unhealthy, but they couldn't get remarried, you know?\n\nYeah.\n\nThis is what the Bible teaches.\n\nThat's one of the hardest scriptures in the in the Bible, because what if you're in a relationship with somebody you don't want to be with and it's not healthy and you're not happy, and you got to stay in it or remain single?\n\nNevertheless, people break that because hypocrisy finally, one of the biggest hypocrisies I see in Christianity is them not calling out bad leadership.\n\nSo when leadership does something, pastors or deacons or whoever, instead of them following the Scriptures, they just kind of sweeping under the rug.\n\nThe leader may lose their position, but nothing is told to the congregation.\n\nIn most cases, they step down, they go to another church, they get relocated, as they say.\n\nBut this is what the Bible says about people who f*** up in the church, particularly leadership.\n\nIt says one, Timothy 519 through 21, it says, do not entertain an accusation against an elder unless it is brought by two or three witnesses.\n\nBut those elders who are sinning, elders is another word for pastor.\n\nOr there's a bunch of terms for pastors, but one of them is elders.\n\nHe says, but those elders who are sinning, you are to reprove before everyone so that the others may take warning.\n\nI charge you in the sight of God and Christ Jesus and the elect angels to keep these instructions without partiality and to do nothing out of favoritism.\n\nSo some of you like the pastor, and you say, I don't want to put them out there like that in front of the congregation, you know?\n\nBut that's what the Bible says.\n\nAnd why?\n\nBecause, look, they're not beyond accountability and reproof.\n\nThey should get it, too.\n\nPut them up there, especially with some of the stuff he's pastors and done in one church.\n\nI was in a pastor, he was an assistant pastor, and he was basically having sex with a bunch of women in the church, but he wasn't giving them no relationships.\n\nThey wanted relationships, he wasn't giving it to him.\n\nSo they kind of called them out and exposed them for fornication the pastor removed them.\n\nOnly reason why I know, because I know because I'm connected.\n\nI was connected in the church.\n\nPeople were telling me women was talking to me and to let me know what was going on.\n\nAnd the pastor, the main pastor, the head pastor, the church made an announcement.\n\nHe said, Brother So and so is no longer a pastor.\n\nHe won't be here at this church anymore.\n\nBut he wouldn't specifically say what he did.\n\nAnd so it's very vague on that.\n\nAnd what the scripture says is to reprove him before everyone.\n\nHe should have been the dude wasn't even there.\n\nHe wasn't even present during this announcement.\n\nHe's well off somewhere at another church somewhere preaching.\n\nWhat does the Bible say?\n\nDo so that's one thing.\n\nThat's one instance that happened.\n\nHere's another instance.\n\nThis is an instance of adultery.\n\nSo in my first church, and I'm going to call it the second church, this is the Baptist church, the church secretary was having an affair with the head deacon of the church.\n\nAll right?\n\nNow both of these people are married.\n\nShe's married the church secretary and the head deacon, he's married.\n\nThey all got kids, and some of his kids were even grown.\n\nBut what happened was she was telling one of her friends, which is one of the pastor's daughters, about her affair and how much, I guess she liked the attention and what was going on between her and this deacon.\n\nAnd then the pastor's daughter, who was a friend of mine, called me up and said, neil, I feel bad about what's going on.\n\nMy friend told me this, that she's doing this with this the deacon.\n\nAnd I'm like, Why are you telling me folk?\n\nI'm like, well, you know what the Bible says about that.\n\nadulters or adultery is going to get you thrown in the hill.\n\nSo I mean, whatever you need to do.\n\nWhy are you asking me?\n\nI just felt bad about it.\n\nSo anyway, she tells her dad.\n\nThe dad talks to the other elders and the other head pastors of the church.\n\nThey make an announcement that the head deacon is no longer the head deacon.\n\nHe has stepped down.\n\nAnd then they mentioned another guy as his replacement.\n\nThen they took me in the back room and said, neil, don't talk about this.\n\nDon't tell nobody about this.\n\nAnd then they said, and even before that, the head deacon had called me and told me he's going to take me out to dinner because he wanted me to be quiet about it.\n\nSo at the end of the day, the deacon did not get publicly exposed for what he did, which was committing adultery against his wife.\n\nAnd the church secretary was not exposed for committing adultery against her husband.\n\nAll right, now here's the hidden scene in the midst of all of this, and just for any of you ladies out there who are cheating on your man, don't tell your girlfriend if she ain't got no man.\n\nBecause what happened was the pastor's daughter, who was getting this information from the church secretary, she was basically jealous, or the best word to use is envy because she didn't have no man.\n\nNow, the pastor's daughter was she was single and she had three kids.\n\nNo husband, no prospects, no nothing.\n\nMeanwhile, the church secretary, she has a husband.\n\nShe got about four kids.\n\nHer husband was big, too.\n\nThis dude was like six two, like big old happy guy.\n\nBig, nice, happy guy.\n\nAnd she got attention coming from this head deacon.\n\nSo she's getting double attention from men, right?\n\nShe got all this going on.\n\nShe never said anything about troubles in her marriage.\n\nSo, ladies, if you go around telling your girlfriends who don't got nobody how much attention you're getting from all these different men, you might end up getting exposed.\n\nAnd so the hidden thing here was envy.\n\nEnvy was the thing.\n\nHere where I'm mad that you're getting all this attention, because there is no reason for her to call me up.\n\nShe knew I was a Christian.\n\nThe pastor's daughter, she knew I was a Christian.\n\nShe knew what I was going to tell her.\n\nI was the body book man of God.\n\nShe knew what I was going to tell her.\n\nAnd so she used that as a way of saying, well, I got to go tell my dad and expose this.\n\nWomen always tend to kind of keep that stuff on the wraps.\n\nThey don't tell nobody when they cheat.\n\nNo one.\n\nThey keep that stuff to themselves.\n\nThey tell their girlfriends, and they all giggle and laugh about it.\n\nNevertheless, those are few stories that just shows the hypocrisy in the church.\n\nNobody want to follow the book.\n\nWhen it's time to follow the book, everybody want to keep the dirt under the wraps, sweep it under the rug and to talk about it.\n\nBut yet here's what the scriptures say.\n\nSo the excuses for hypocrisy are usually, god knows my heart.\n\nIt would be too devastating to expose this.\n\nPeople be saying stuff like, I'm still growing, don't you judge me, things like that.\n\nNow, I said all that to say to expose why hypocrisy exists in religion and particularly Christianity.\n\nAll right?\n\nSo here's why most religious people are hypocrites.\n\nIt's a really sad thing that goes on here.\n\nReligion programs the person to become the very center the Bible condemns through something called subconscious programming.\n\nNow, we are being programmed day in and day out, commercials, experiences that we have.\n\nThis is just what's happening to us.\n\nThis is how our brains work.\n\nSo we have a mind and we have a conscious mind, and we have a subconscious mind.\n\nAnd that subconscious can be programmed.\n\nOkay, so let me just explain the subconscious mind.\n\nIt's responsible for storing memory, your view of how you look at yourself, any skills you may have, abilities, beliefs, and more.\n\nOkay, so this is why you can ride a bike without thinking about it.\n\nYou can drive a car without thinking about it.\n\nYou may be able to fight and know how to just swing and hit or shoot.\n\nAnd you're not really have to think about it because that's something that's been stored in your subconscious.\n\nYou've programmed yourself through repetition and other ways to get that in your subconscious.\n\nAnd so what the subconscious does is it stores abilities and different things, as I said before, so that you don't have to keep learning something.\n\nAll you got to do is use brain power to learn one time and get it in your subconscious.\n\nAnd once it's there, you don't have to use energy again and to figure out how to do something.\n\nSo it's not like every time you get in the car, what if you have to figure out, okay, the turn signal, okay, break, accelerate, turning left and turning right, lights.\n\nYou don't do all of that because it's already programmed your subconscious.\n\nYou don't need to use energy to learn again.\n\nAll right?\n\nSo that's how the subconscious works, and that's just a short way of explaining that.\n\nBut everybody has a subconscious, and all of this comes through the conscious mind, which is what you walk around and use every day.\n\nWhat you see thinking here right now is conscious.\n\nYou're conscious right now.\n\nBut that information is going into the subconscious and it's forming something.\n\nSo especially views of yourself.\n\nIf you grew up and your parents were saying negative things to you about you, or it could be positive things, you're a good kid, you're going to be something great, you're going to be strong, you're good at this.\n\nYou can beat this.\n\nThese things get stored in your subconscious.\n\nYour self esteem comes from your subconscious, all right?\n\nBut it came through your conscious mind.\n\nSo this is where religion comes in and messes people up.\n\nAnd before I get into that, I just want to say that the subconscious is programmed through repetition.\n\nSo one way is basically, if you're doing the same thing over and over again, that gets stored into your subconscious.\n\nSo like learning how to fight, busting a gun off, riding a bike, driving a car through repetition, that gets stored in there.\n\nAnother form of repetition is affirmations.\n\nIf you keep saying things to yourself over and over again, that becomes stored in your subconscious and that becomes your reality or how you think of yourself or how you see the world.\n\nOkay, so if you say, I'm going to be wealthy, or I'm going to be a good person, I'm a decent person, I love people over and over again, that will become how you act and respond because that's stored in your subconscious.\n\nAll right?\n\nSo another way is through trauma, but that's not necessarily what we're going to talk about today.\n\nBut just affirmations is the big one.\n\nSo if anyone remembered growing up in church, one of the affirmations they had you say, was the Ten Commandments over and over again.\n\nSome of us know him by heart.\n\nWe've all heard him, thou should not kill.\n\nThou shalt not steal.\n\nPut God first.\n\nYou shouldn't have no other guys before me.\n\nDon't cover your neighbor's possessions.\n\nIt just goes down the line of all this stuff.\n\nBut the thing I want you to remember is it says, thou shalt not, thou shalt not, thou shalt not.\n\nSo it's essentially saying that you're going to do these things, but I don't want you to do them.\n\nSo I'm commanding you not to do things that you would do.\n\nAll right?\n\nNow this is where the programming comes in from religion.\n\nSo you are already being told indirectly that you are a bad person.\n\nDon't you cover your neighbor's wife.\n\nYou hear something like that.\n\nIt's kind of implied that she was going to do that anyway.\n\nDon't you steal.\n\nDon't you commit adultery.\n\nDon't you do this, don't you do that.\n\nAlso, you'll hear stuff from the pulpit, from passage.\n\nThey'll teach you stuff like, you were born into a sin, you were born a sinner.\n\nOkay?\n\nAnother Bible passage in Psalms 51 five, it says, surely I was sinful at birth, sinful from the time my mother conceived me.\n\nNow you meditate on scriptures like that and see how you think of yourself as a sinful person.\n\nOkay?\n\nSo you got the Ten Commandments telling you thou should not do this, thou should not do that, which is implying that you are those things.\n\nYou are a thief.\n\nThou shalt not steal.\n\nWell, you're a thief, so don't you steal.\n\nThou shalt not cover thy neighbor's wife or thy neighbor's possessions.\n\nThat implies that you are going to do that.\n\nSo that gets stored in your subconscious over time.\n\nThe idea that you are just a sinner, which is a person that misses the mark, which is a person that does bad things, that gets stored in your subconscious.\n\nYou've been publicly shamed by parents for misbehavior when it comes to religion, these things get stored in your subconscious.\n\nChildren at a young age have heard that they are responsible for Jesus dying on the cross.\n\nAnd they may even show a dead Jew bleeding out in front of them and saying, you caused this.\n\nYour sins were so bad that Jesus had to die on the cross for you, and all the suffering and pain and torture he went through is because of you.\n\nAnd you telling a child that.\n\nBut even an adult that's getting stored in their subconscious to say that you're a s***** human being, okay?\n\nSo these images, they are Jesus.\n\nIt's like, we did this to him.\n\nHe died for us because of our sins.\n\nYou're such a s***** person.\n\nIt's basically what the Bible is saying over and over again and it's getting your subconscious.\n\nSo guess what?\n\nYou act out being a s***** human being.\n\nEverything it says, just all the stuff I read about, the lack of love fornication adultery, all of those things that you hear in Scripture, the Christian picks up on and they begin to do it.\n\nSo the Bible poisons people, makes them into sinners, and then turns around and says, well, Jesus is a salvation for that.\n\nAnd if you don't follow Jesus and follow the religious path, you're going to be thrown in the hill.\n\nSo that's where the hypocrisy comes in because on one level they're made to do the things that they don't want to do, but then they're condemned for them.\n\nAnd so what happens is people try to COVID it up and try to say, well, I don't do that.\n\nAnd that's where hypocrisy comes from.\n\nIt's you trying to follow some moral absolute that you can't follow.\n\nBut in this case, religion is making you the bad person.\n\nIt's making you bad by telling you over and over again, you ain't s***, you're a sinner from day one, you are f****** sinner.\n\nSo that's why Christians are the worst people on the planet in my opinion, because they're told that they are from day one, they're from birth, they're sinner.\n\nYou see?\n\nNow, even the Scriptures validate what I'm saying here.\n\nThis is in Romans, chapter seven, verses 15 through 25.\n\nAnd you're going to hear the lifestyle of a Christian, the mindset and the life, how a Christian roles.\n\nIt says, I do not understand what I do for what I want to do, I do not do.\n\nBut what I hate, I do.\n\nThat's the Christian life.\n\nAnd they have to push this stuff up under the rug fornication homosexuality, adultery, all of this stuff.\n\nThis is what they're doing.\n\nAnd they say, I hate myself for this, but why I keep doing it?\n\nVerse 16 it says, and if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good and the law is the Ten Commandments and many of the other commandments that God gave in the Old Testament.\n\nAnd it goes on saying verse 17 as it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me.\n\nNow, he called it sin living in him.\n\n18 it says verse 18 it says, for I know that good itself does not dwell in me.\n\nAnd that's sad for him to say that because it is.\n\nBut because of programming in your subconscious from religion, you become a person that is sinful and just a bad person.\n\nAnd so here he is, Paul, saying these things about himself.\n\nFor I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is in my sinful nature goes on to say, for I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out.\n\nAnd this is what I continually saw amongst Christians, okay, this inability to carry out righteous living.\n\nAnd he goes on to say in verse 19, for I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do.\n\nThis I keep on doing.\n\nThis is the life of a Christian, all right?\n\nVerse 20 he says, now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is the sin living in me that does it.\n\nYou want to blame sin all you want, but it's you, okay?\n\nAnd I would say once again, it's the programming in your subconscious.\n\nVerse 21 it says, So I find the law at work.\n\nIt goes on to say, although I want to do good, evil is right there with me.\n\nVerse 22 for in my inner being I delight in God's law.\n\nBut I see another law at work in me waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me.\n\nYou see that this war within the soul, or the spirit rather, where you want to do the right thing, but you do the wrong thing.\n\nAnd all this back and forth, he goes on to say in verse 24, what a wretched man I am.\n\nAnd that's how a lot of Christians feel.\n\nAnd he goes on to say, who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death?\n\nAnd the reason why he's saying that is because the Bible said that you would not inherit the kingdom of God, so you're going to die.\n\nThere will be no resurrection for you, there will be no eternal life.\n\nVerse 25 says, well, thanks be the guy who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord.\n\nAnd unfortunately, that final verse, nobody seems to have that power.\n\nI don't see any delivery from anything.\n\nAnd so some pastors will use that to say, well, because the blood of Jesus was shed for me, I'm no longer bound to this damnation for my sin.\n\nAnd following broadcast I'll talk about the heresies that people use to try to get around the strictness of the Bible.\n\nBut nevertheless, this is the back and forth.\n\nThat is a hypocrisy that they go through all this back and forth within their bodies.\n\nThey want to do the right thing, they can't.\n\nAnd once again, this goes back to the religious programming.\n\nThey told you you was a bad person from day one, over and over again until you became a bad person.\n\nThen they turn around and show you a Bible verse that says, hey, you can't be a bad person because you're going to go to h***.\n\nSo basically people act out their programming which leads them to sin.\n\nThe Bible and religion condemn their bad behavior.\n\nThe person is ashamed and then.\n\nConfesses their sins.\n\nThe cycle of sin and confession eats away at the esteem of the person because they keep on having to admit, yeah, I committed adultery.\n\nYeah, I looked at p***.\n\nYeah, I committed fornication.\n\nYeah, I stole.\n\nYeah, I covered my neighbor's wife or his possession.\n\nIt keeps going on and on.\n\nAnd so you'll see, in Christianity songs, they'll sing songs.\n\nLike, there's a song by Donny McClurkin.\n\nIt's called we fall down, but we get up.\n\nFor a saint, it's just a sinner who fell down.\n\nSo what is he saying?\n\nA saint is just a sinner?\n\nI mean, that don't make no d*** sense, either a saint or a sinner.\n\nBut he's describing this back and forth between sin and trying to live, right?\n\nFalling down and getting back up.\n\nFalling down and getting back up.\n\nYou see?\n\nAnd why is this happening?\n\nBecause he was programmed.\n\nHe was programmed.\n\nThe subconscious was programmed by religion and making these people into bad people to where now they have this back and forth within their spirits.\n\nSo because they keep falling down, what they'll do, what most people do because of the shame of it, they begin to hide their sins as they pile up.\n\nSo they claim one way of living while doing the complete opposite.\n\nAnd that's the definition of hypocrisy.\n\nSo here's the consequences of hypocrisy, stress and anxiety from COVID ups and lies.\n\nAnother thing that comes out of it is demeaning and condemning others.\n\nSo sometimes you feel so bad about yourself that you need to tear others down and then condemn them to feel better about yourself.\n\nAnd so that's what people do when you see a lot of hating going on, when somebody's always talking about somebody else's misdeeds.\n\nThere's a lot of YouTube channels dedicated to this where they'll just be going off on people.\n\nLook at what somebody else did.\n\nLet's expose so and so and so did this.\n\nSo and so did that.\n\nLike your kids back in middle school or something.\n\nThey're covering up their own mess.\n\nSo their own mess is so dirty and filthy that they want they got to look at other people's stuff.\n\nThey got to point at other people's stuff.\n\nSo this is a consequence of hypocrisy.\n\nAnother one is going hard on certain sins, like homosexuality.\n\nAnd I've seen this in the church as well.\n\nSome of these pastors in one church in particular I was a member of, it seemed like this guy was going too hard.\n\nI'm like, man, you really own these homosexuals, man.\n\nBut he came off as a homosexual.\n\nHe came off as effeminate.\n\nSo is he struggling with homosexuality?\n\nMost likely.\n\nAnd the thing is, this is what homosexuals will say.\n\nThey've exposed.\n\nThey say, look, the biggest people against homosexuality is homosexuals.\n\nI ain't gay.\n\nI don't get down like that.\n\nThe homosexuals nasty.\n\nThey filthy, they disengage.\n\nThat the same guy saying that s*** is f****** dudes in the a**.\n\nAnd getting his d*** sucked by another man.\n\nThis is what the f*** they doing.\n\nBeware of people like that, especially when it comes to homosexuality.\n\nRepression leads to extreme behaviors.\n\nThis is another consequence of hypocrisy.\n\nSo you doing what you ain't supposed to be doing according to the Bible, and you keep repressing it to where it becomes something worse.\n\nSo this is what's happening with the Catholic priest.\n\nThey can't even have sex with nobody if they take an oath to be a priest.\n\nThey can't have sex for never ever.\n\nIt's done.\n\nThey got to be celebrated for the rest of their life.\n\nSo they end up repressing their sexual desires.\n\nThey may feel bad about masturbation, pornography.\n\nIt just goes deeper and deeper until they end up having sex with children, young boys.\n\nAnd I'll explain the psychology behind that because it's not that simple.\n\nBut I really want people to understand why they do what they do.\n\nAnd I'll talk about that another because when I found out, like, man, I'm like, this is deep, because it don't make sense.\n\nOnce you just go have sex with one of the nuns, I know they just as sexually represses you.\n\nYou all both can go get it down on the low key or something, man, go hire a hooker or something or keep it on the low.\n\nBut no, they go deal with a kid, like, out of all people, a child.\n\nBut when you repress your so called sins, you end up doing worse stuff.\n\nSelf hatred and hatred of others.\n\nSo the more you see yourself as this bad person because you've been programmed to by religion, you start to hate other people.\n\nSo there's a grave lack of respect for people because you don't respect yourself, because you see yourself as such a dirty person, because the Bible told you you were.\n\nYou see, another thing you'll see is a fellowship of hypocrites.\n\nAnd I've seen this a lot in church where all the hypocrites hang out together.\n\nAnybody who's not living like they're living tend to be mistreated, pushed back, or pushed out.\n\nAnd that's what happened to me.\n\nAnd it's like, man, I can do none of you all.\n\nIt's because your lifestyle makes us feel bad about our lifestyle.\n\nThat's all it is.\n\nThey're operating out of something called projection.\n\nAnd this comes from the psychology research.\n\nThey use this term basically, you're projecting how you feel about yourself onto others or what you do to other people you think people are doing to you.\n\nSo hypocrites may feel like they're being judged by people, so they'll falsely accuse others of judging them when they're only really judging themselves.\n\nYou see, it's a weird way of dealing with internal stuff.\n\nBut that's the problem with projection.\n\nPeople who project don't deal with their own internal mess.\n\nThey repress it.\n\nAnd that leads him to these weird behaviors.\n\nLike some guy accusing his wife of cheating, and she's like, What I ain't cheating.\n\nWhat are you talking about?\n\nIt's because he's cheating.\n\nYou see, he's projecting what he feels is wrong on her because he's not dealing with his own mess, because they don't want to deal with themselves.\n\nBecause they look at themselves as so dirty and ugly they just can't look at it.\n\nSo they have to get it out some kind of way, and so they push it on to other people.\n\nAnd then finally, the consequences of hypocrisy is the persecution of those living right.\n\nSo those who live right, as I mentioned before, they make people who are hypocrites and who live in sin according to the Bible, feel bad.\n\nAnd it's not even in them doing anything.\n\nIt's just how they feel about themselves.\n\nBut they envy them because they can actually live the word out, and so they mistreat those people.\n\nSo here's how to stop being a hypocrite.\n\nFirst, you need to realize that you were programmed to be a sinner.\n\nAll these affirmations you repeated the Ten Commandments, thou shalt not do this.\n\nThese are implying that you're a bad person.\n\nVerses like, you were born into sin, you're a sinner from day one.\n\nYou got to keep going to Jesus Christ to get your sins cleansed.\n\nAnd all of that is negative self talk.\n\nIt's telling you you're a bad person, and it's causing you to be the sinner that you don't want to be.\n\nAll right?\n\nSo you realize that your religion is doing that to you.\n\nThat is not healthy to you.\n\nThat's a philosophy that's been fed to you.\n\nThat's not true, this concept of sin, and you were born into it.\n\nAnd this is some bullshit, okay?\n\nAnd that means that some of you all may have to alter your religion or leave it all together, all right?\n\nNow, the second thing you need to do is admit that some of these laws and rules are unreasonable and perverted, like remarriage.\n\nYou should be able to remarry and divorce at will, okay?\n\nBecause everybody don't fit together.\n\nPeople grow apart.\n\nPeople are incompatible.\n\nIt shouldn't be this thing where once you get divorced, you can't remarry, okay?\n\nWe got to start looking at some of these laws in the Bible and say, this is some bullshit, man.\n\nThis is unfair.\n\nThis is unhappiness, is what this is going to cause if somebody was able to follow this.\n\nAnother thing is masturbation.\n\nIt's nowhere in Scripture, but religion will put that on people and say, if you're doing that, you wouldn't see him.\n\nSo a lot of people feel bad about themselves.\n\nThey feel like dirty people because they m********* when all they're doing is trying to express their sexuality.\n\nWe have to say this is wrong.\n\nEven doctors say you need to m*********.\n\nYou don't need to do it a lot, but you need to let go and release.\n\nBoth men and women need to m*********.\n\nThis is a normal practice.\n\nYou're not sinful about it.\n\nAs a matter of fact, during masturbation, you learn to know what makes your body feel good so that you can tell your partner that.\n\nOtherwise you're going to be in a bedroom and not knowing how to really get your pleasure on because you don't know how you supposed to feel.\n\nThat's what masturbation was about.\n\nThere's a bunch of other stuff that is connected to as well.\n\nPremarital sex.\n\nThe idea that you can't have sex before you marry somebody.\n\nIt's ludicrous.\n\nAnd I have a whole broadcast that's going to talk about that.\n\nBut how do you know if you are sexually compatible if you don't have sex before marriage?\n\nNow you're in a long term relationship that you can't break.\n\nThe Bible is against you all breaking up.\n\nIt says God hates divorce.\n\nAnd then it says if you do get divorced, you can't get remarried.\n\nSo you got to stay in a marriage that you're sexually incompatible with.\n\nYou got to have sex with this lame sex that you're having because you're not compatible.\n\nThe person may be abusive.\n\nThe person just may not be the best fit for you.\n\nYou got to sit up and deal with that or stay single for the rest of your life.\n\nThat's not right.\n\nYou got to start admitting that some of these things are just filed instead of just submitting to them.\n\nWhat the Bible is teaching and what your religion is teaching, it ain't working for you, okay?\n\nNow, you have to realize you're not a bad person, but rather you do bad things at times.\n\nSo I'm not letting people off the hook and saying that envy is a good idea and that mistreating others and being disrespectful are good things.\n\nNo, I hate all that stuff, but we can't absorb those things and say that's who we are.\n\nLike the Bible says, the Bible will tell you that you ain't s***.\n\nYou a sinner.\n\nYou will stink, dirty sinner to the point to where God's son had to die for you.\n\nThat's f****** with your psyche, in your self esteem, and that's why most Christians have low self esteem.\n\nAnother thing you can do is admit your faults out loud and believe you can change things.\n\nOkay?\n\nQuit trying to stay to a strict moral standard.\n\nIf you admit that you're wrong and that you can't fit this standard, just admit the thing and then get help.\n\nGet therapy for toxic behavior, okay?\n\nIf you're doing things that's hurting other people, go to therapy about that.\n\nWhy am I doing these things to people?\n\nI got to stop.\n\nThis is harmful.\n\nInstead of suppressing it, get therapy for toxic behavior.\n\nIf people keep leaving your life, if your life is like a revolving door where people just kind of come in and go out and they come in, nobody really stays for long just because you've mistreating people and you need to deal with that behavior.\n\nBut to say you're a bad person overall, that's not the case.\n\nYou got to say you're a good person.\n\nYou got to confess good things in your life.\n\nAnother thing here is you need to focus on building up yourself instead of looking for dirt and other people.\n\nSo it leads me to the next point.\n\nStop condemning others.\n\nSome people will stand on the corner and condemn people to h***, and you all go on to h***.\n\nCome on, man.\n\nBut why is she doing it?\n\nBecause it makes her feel better about her own sins, her own hypocrisy.\n\nYou see, another thing, stop making promises you can't keep, because that's making you look like a hypocrite.\n\nYou say you're going to do something, but then you don't do it.\n\nYou're a hypocrite, all right?\n\nSo instead of promising something, just say, hey, this is what I intend on doing for you, and hopefully I can get that done, but I'm not going to promise nothing.\n\nThat way the person don't feel like, man, you really let me down.\n\nAnd you don't have this huge pressure on you to fulfill something that you may not be able to do.\n\nBe realistic with yourself, all right?\n\nNow, I was a little different from other people when it came to this hypocrisy thing.\n\nI was a hypocrite too, all right?\n\nI was actually able to overcome sin, and there's a reason why how I was able to do it.\n\nThe worst thing about it, though, was if you follow the Bible to the T, you'll end up hurting yourself like I did.\n\nSo what I did was what everybody else should do if they're a Christian, is to stop focusing on the Law, which is the Ten Commandments and all this stuff that says, you a bad person, thou should not do this.\n\nYou were born and seeing all that bullshit.\n\nWhat I was doing when I was a Christian in the church was I was focusing on the Spirit.\n\nI was saying to myself, I'm a good Christian.\n\nI thought of the Lord.\n\nI am not a sinner.\n\nI never called myself a sinner.\n\nAnd that's because I wasn't.\n\nThe Scriptures said I was a saint and I was a child of God, and so I would confess that.\n\nAnd does the child of God sin?\n\nDoes the saint sin?\n\nNo.\n\nSo I was able to reprogram my mind to do the right thing and not do the wrong thing.\n\nSo I couldn't understand why these people was failing, because I'm like it's right there in the Bible to tell you how to do it.\n\nSo this is a more positive way of dealing with things instead of focusing on the law.\n\nAnd the Bible teaches you this.\n\nIt says Galatians, chapter five, verses 16 through 23.\n\nIt says, Walk by the Spirit and you will not gratify the desires of the flesh.\n\nFor the flesh desires what is contrary to the Spirit, and the spirit what is contrary to the flesh.\n\nThey are in conflict with each other so that you are not to do whatever you want.\n\nBut if you are led by the spirit, you are not under the law.\n\nSo essentially now here's the deal.\n\nI don't believe in the Holy Spirit or nothing, okay?\n\nNow it's just me.\n\nI'm living right because I choose to live right.\n\nAnd I program my subconscious to see myself as a righteous person to do right things, okay?\n\nSo that's how I'm able to be a decent human being than most people.\n\nThere ain't no God to do this stuff, okay?\n\nI'm the god.\n\nI'm the source in the power that's able to change my behavior.\n\nBut nevertheless, here's a Bible verse that talks about that.\n\nVerse 19.\n\nIt continues on.\n\nIt says, the acts of the flesh are obvious, sexual immorality, impurity, debauchery, idolatry and witchcraft, hatred, discord, jealousy, fitzgerage, selfish, ambitions, dissensions, factions and envy, drunkenness, orgies and the like.\n\nI warn you as I did before, that those who live like this will not inherit the kingdom of God.\n\nSo he's saying, if you walk in the flesh, you're not going to make it in.\n\nIf you want to live a righteous life and stop falling in the sin, walk in the Spirit.\n\nAnd so this is something I was practicing at the time.\n\nI was also teaching people to do this because people would complain.\n\nMan, I keep on falling and seeing, man, I keep on masturbating, the p***.\n\nMan, I keep doing this.\n\nI was able to overcome pornography, lust and all that stuff, but all of those things are normal.\n\nMasturbation is normal.\n\nLust for an attractive woman is normal, okay?\n\nSo if you suppress those things, you f*** yourself up.\n\nAnd that's what I did.\n\nSo anyway, that's all I got for you today.\n\nTill next time, be blessed and be happy.\n\nKey read more online stories from Mirror
