sanc·ti·mo·ni·ous
ˌsaNG(k)təˈmōnēəs/
adjective derogatory
- making a show of being morally superior to other people.
Let it be known, if I say God calls us to be pure, am I saying I am pure, or am
I saying God has called us to be pure?
Now if I was sharing this reality, surely firstly I would start dealing with my own
life. Now after a full frontal assault to say I am a hypocrite and those around me
would say I am lying, which failed, because this is not true, I am just saying that
I have found Gods word to be true.
Now I do not know where others stand, unless they start saying being pure is
wrong and evil, and we do not need to be pure, that is a false suggestion.
I might get the clue that others discount themselves and believe I knew this
and so was putting them down and exalting myself. The truth is I am sharing
my testimony and understanding of the Lord. If the Lord convicts you as a
result, it is not because of me doing the conviction, this is how God works.
I do not know how to be sanctimonious, I only know how to follow the King.
I know how you guys would respond to Paul, because I am quoting him.
And Paul would say to me, do not let people talk down to you because of the
Holy pure life you are living, but set the example before God and men.
Or maybe that part of scripture is censored in your bibles.
