Biblical Warning Against Hypocrites and Their Teachings

• “Beware ye of the leaven of the Pharisees, which is hypocrisy." (Luke 12:1)
• "They tie up heavy, cumbersome loads and put them on other people’s shoulders, but they themselves are not willing to lift a finger to move them for they do not practice what they preach." (Matt. 23:4,3 NIV)
• "Now the Spirit speaketh expressly, that in the latter times some shall depart from the faith, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines of devils; speaking lies in hypocrisy; having their conscience seared with a hot iron; forbidding to marry, and commanding to abstain from meats, which God hath created to be received with thanksgiving of them which believe and know the truth."

  The articles below will present the following evidence regarding Ellen White:

  • Her life practices contradicted her teachings demonstrating she had no faith in her own testimonies.
  Hypocrisy: "The practice of claiming to have moral standards or beliefs to which one's own behavior does not conform" (Oxford Dictionary).

  In Ellen White's own words: "So if hypocrisy is allowed to exist in the heart, it permeates the character and the life. ... The hypocrisy of the Pharisees was the product of self-seeking. The glorification of themselves was the object of their lives. It was this that led them to pervert and misapply the Scriptures." (Desire of Ages, pp. 408-409)
