A Relevant Holiness Message

[MissBrattified]

Miz: It seemed like you were drawing conclusions from my comments that I didn't intend. I don't believe that RM was being a hypocrite, because I think you have to intentionally live a double standard in order for something to be "hypocrisy." I don't think he was purposely putting forth a double standard. I think it just happened because he preached a message about holiness, and talked about a practice he didn't like, and irony of ironies, the same behavior showed up on his platform a week later. That alone doesn't make him a hypocrite, because he couldn't predict what GP was going to say or do (understatement alert).

More than likely, all the services from POK are posted online without necessarily RM's direction for every single one. However, you would think that he might have told his web guy to pull that one since it was inconsistent with what was preached the week before. Maybe he decided not to fight that battle--or maybe he didn't really think about the inconsistency until it was brought to his attention. Who knows? Unless RM decides to answer, we really can't know what his thoughts were. The only conclusions I can draw are that the posting of GP's sermon *looks like* tacit pastoral approval, and that RM is opposed to at least some of the content of GP's sermon according to his previous week's message.

I'm not interested in attaching a character flaw or sin to that.
