This way at church

The true character of a man who behaves one way at church and in some places in public is if he is presenting himself as good and righteous, but at home or elsewhere he is different domineering, and self-centered. Which is the true reflection of that man, I submit is where he is elsewhere not the way he presents himself at church.

I also submit how we treat others here shows ourselves to be the type of people we are as well, this is where we feel like airing out all of the crap we use to dump on others for whatever reason we have at the moment if we have to justify our bad behavior we know we have done others ill, where we didn't there isn't a felt need.

Agreed. It is about of our good works away from faith.

You seem to enjoy starting threads which try to discuss peoples behaviour and character. Its like you are psychoanalysing people. I think thats a personality flaw.

The true character of a man is known only to God, so maybe you should resist the temptation to do it and fail, which you so often do.

It is about our lives, one who lives two different types of lives is being true to his nature, he is broken.

What does this mean? I'm not sure I agree with this, in fact I think I don't.

And yet you would send the nasty churchgoer straight to heaven, and condemn the goody Muslim/Atheist/Hindu/practicing homosexual/ornithologist to eternal hell and damnation. Doesn't seem quite fair, does it?

And by the way, some people are women, you know.

We can present ourselves to be something we want others to think we are in one setting, for example church, or in some organization of any type. Be someone else in another, and another while alone. In social media or online, we can be quite different than we in our real world interactions. So the real us is what?

All have sinned and fallen short this includes those who attend church, going to church doesn’t change one’s nature.

The same goes for anywhere, not just church. A politician who acts all righteous in public but behaves the opposite away from cameras is just as much of a hypocrite.

Same for a cop, judge, forum poster, etc.
