He is essentially the only "Christian" I respect. He truly lives his faith. I just wish I could meet him someday, but alas, that will probably never happen.

I don't know where this happened, but he was helping Habitat For Humanity building a new house.
They were using community showers for the workers and my BIL was showering
when who happened to walk in, in his birthday suit but Jimmy Carter himself.

They don't seem to know anything about folks like Matt Guinn or David Radcliffe. Weird.

It's all part of the pre-sale. Religious imposters try to sell themselves with imagery and self-professions so other people will lower their guard, thinking that this person is of such high moral caliber they would never be a fraudster or a swindler. People will then witness certain behaviors of the hypocrite that are contrary to that moral belief, and they question what they are seeing and discount it. This gives the hypocrite / charlatan cover.




Just look at this model 'Christian:'

ONE WHO CUCKS HER HUSBAND SO HE FILES FOR DIVORCE
A Christian who belts out Adulterous Tantric Sex screams.
A traitor to their marriage is someone who has adulterous affairs. Once a traitor, always one.



Faux Christian woman who supposedly had affairs with a polyamourous tantric sex guru says what?
According to the article below, she had TWO affairs. This is supposedly one of them.


MARJ A TROIS QAnon Rep Marjorie Taylor Greene ‘openly cheated on husband of 25 years with polyamorous tantric sex guru & gym manager’

Or this model 'Christian:'





Or this one who sells his Christianity by posting daily Bible quotes:





Tartuffe, comedy in five acts by Molière, produced in 1664 and published in French in 1669 as Le Tartuffe; ou, l’imposteur (“Tartuffe; or, The Imposter”). It was also published in English as The Imposter.

Tartuffe is a sanctimonious scoundrel who, professing extreme piety, is taken into the household of Orgon, a wealthy man. Under the guise of ministering to the family’s spiritual and moral needs, he almost destroys Orgon’s family. Elmire, Orgon’s wife, sees through Tartuffe’s wicked hypocrisy and exposes him.
