Deceptive Scales and Double Standards
Many people join the Christian faith to know God. But then, after they see the devil within it, they leave this path. The Bible portrays a loving God who doesn't discriminate. But many Christians display a deceptive and cruel God. The New believer wonders how these two visions of Jesus can coexist. God may hear our prayers, but Christians can't hear our cries. They create circumstances to make people lose their faith in God's faithfulness.
However, those who endure till the end, ignoring the hypocrisy of the wicked, would taste life in the coming age. Jesus Christ must be laughing at many Christian leaders from the heavenly realms when they create worldly scales to evaluate people's spiritual worth in Christ. Their scales are so off from the benchmark set by the one who left everything behind and died on the cross. When they demean godly people and honor material successes, how low do they bring the standards of Christ following?
Even Hindus don't evaluate spirituality by people's material successes. Otherwise, Ambani and Adani would be the spiritual giants of Hindustan. Therefore, when Christians selectively promote the people of their caste, race, or tribe to better educational or employment opportunities to show their greatness, how low do they bring the Christian virtue? Many Christian institutions do such things to contrast how great people of their tribe are when compared to other capable individuals they ignore and treat unjustly. However, the world can discern between quality work and mere positional rank much more easily than they think.
Indian Christianity has hit its all-time low in terms of delivering fairness and justice. When I see their double standards and deceptive scales, the practised values of Christianity seem much lower than those of other world religions. Strangely, Christians don't even notice or acknowledge their hypocrisy. Even homeopathic doctors calculate their success by the complex cases they have successfully treated, not by the money they earn in the process. How wretched are Christians when they evaluate people's worth by wealth, positions, and accolades obtained not by merit, but through selective empowerment?
Will such things matter in the coming age? Imagine Jesus asking Elon Musk about how much money he has made or how many people he has taken to Mars. Or else, imagine Jesus asking President Trump how many years he had ruled as America's President, or whether he had won a Nobel Peace Prize. That's how I feel many Christian people evaluate the Spiritual worth of those who serve God. The hypocrisy is so great that even many of those who preach Paul, who said, "Demas loved the world and left me," look more like Demas than like Paul.
