He answered and said unto them, When it is evening, ye say, It will be fair weather: for the sky is red.
And in the morning, It will be foul weather to day: for the sky is red and lowring. O ye hypocrites, ye can discern the face of the sky; but can ye not discern the signs of the times?
I’m calling this the hypocrisy of unbelief.
Jesus, speaking to both the Pharisees and Sadducees, called it hypocrisy that they could analyze weather patterns and predict a forecast, yet they refused to examine the evidence of His life and confess Him as the foretold Messiah.
This same hypocrisy exists in today’s atheist and agnostic circles. They demand:
• “Proof” that God exists.
• “Proof” that Jesus rose again.
• “Proof” of life after death.
Yet, these same people often accept the judgments of others whose views are equally speculative—if not more so—but align with their preconceived opinions.
Creation is proof that God exists.
Yet, the evolutionist’s agenda appeals more to their preferences, so they accept it over creation.
Documentary evidence proves the resurrection of Christ.
Yet, they accept the historical documentation of Ancient Greece and Rome—though it is far less substantiated—because it does not offend their sensibilities. They reject the vastly superior documentation supporting Christ’s resurrection.
The resurrection of Christ itself is proof of life after death.
But because it challenges their prejudices, they refuse to consider it.
Hypocrisy.
The Bible is affirmed by scientific, archaeological, anthropological, and historical evidence in every logical manner. Yet, because its message contradicts what they wish to believe, they ignore it. They readily accept evidence that aligns with their preferences or leaves their worldview unchallenged. But they refuse to examine the evidence that supports the Bible.
Hypocrisy.
