  • Exactly. These “Christians” are hypocrites. I’ll probably be down voted I don’t care. I haven’t hid my faith, I’m a Christian, yet progressive and these people are hiding their own desires behind a religion. It happens with all religions for sure, we just see it with Christianity predominantly here in the US. This verse is saying their reward is that others see them praying and that’s it. God isn’t rewarding them. The next verse teaches us we should pray in private and God rewards those people.

    Also we just talked about Timothy 2 and our pastor made a good point the word for quiet was used in a previous verse Tim 2:2 that meant peaceful, quiet/calm life’s. Timothy calls out men and women. It doesn’t mean muzzled. Women of the time were dressing in such a way to bring attention to them at church instead of the teachings.

    More of the right will identify as Christian’s but the left is much closer to the teachings of Jesus because the fruits of the spirit are: love, compassion, empathy, understanding, kindness, gentleness, truthfulness, brotherhood, forbearance, faith, joy, just to name a few.

    When thinking of those “fruits” not many people think of the conservative Christian’s. It bothers me more than anything they hide behind their “beliefs” to push their personal agenda that goes directly against the teachings of Jesus. Gives Christianity a bad name, then again I would say each religion has it’s own group of extremist that make the whole look bad.
