Many have allowed the culture to mold them, rather than the reverse, as Christ commanded. But secondly, the imperfections of Christians reinforce the important truth of the biblical message about man's sinful nature. Yet there is a distinction between a hypocrite and a sinner. The word hypocrite applies to a person who pretends to be something he is not. All hypocrites are sinners, but not all sinners are hypocrites.
Christian morality is the purest, most sublime in all of history.
Indeed, it is the perfect morality. While history records abusers of Christianity, one should not judge Christianity by such charlatans. As stated by authors Boa and Moody, it is unwise to compare the life of one believer with the lives of others. It is more valid to compare what he is now with what he was before coming to Christ. But being a Christian really does not mean being related to a set of rules whereby we can measure self-improvement.
