I do not know who is the voice of God on this thread so I will ask anyway. How doth God deal with the hypocrite? The mere actor or someone who plays a part or role thus speaking pretty words or pretty posts with deceptive acts; especially, one who, for the purpose of winning approbation of favor of the masses, puts on a fair outside seemingly to be of forthright intention; one who feigns to be other and better than he is when nothing more than a deceiver, pretender, liar and cheat; a false pretender to virtue or piety; one who simulates virtue or piety falsely.
Is this not proven when a godly person attempts to be an all knowing and knowledgeable diety?
Be careful not to do your 'acts of righteousness' before men, to be seen by them. If you do, you will have no reward from your Father in heaven. So when you give to the needy, do not announce it with trumpets, as the hypocrites do in the synagogues and on the streets, to be honored by men. I tell you the truth, they have received their reward in full. But when you give to the needy, do not let your left hand know what your right hand is doing, so that your giving may be in secret. Then your Father, who sees what is done in secret, will reward you. Matthew 6:1-4
The hypocrite's hope shall perish. --Job viii. 13.
Doth not the saying say if you live by the sword so shall the sword be your death?
