Sad how we can find fault in another person, complain about what that other person is doing, and trash the other person, all in the name of, “this is my observation.” We have become so righteousness! We see it on the new, talk show hosts, on different media sites, and even in our daily lives. We even go so far as bringing the bible in, by taking it out of context, to make it meet our needs. It is called eisegesis—it is the process of interpreting something in such a way that the process introduces one’s own presuppositions, agendas, especially of Scripture, that expresses the interpreter’s own ideas, bias, or the like, rather than the meaning of what is really going on. In Matthew 23:27-28 reads, “You are like whitewashed tombs, which look beautiful on the outside but on the inside are full of the bones of the dead and everything unclean, in the same way, on the outside you appear to people as righteous but on the inside you are full of hypocrisy and wickedness. As believers in God, we have guidelines of how we should act and how we should talk. There is no gray, nor is there any room for deviation. Right is right and wrong is wrong. Saying something is true does not make it true. We sometimes forget this and hypocrisy sets in. It is something to think about. God Bless. Amen.
