Using Christian Hypocrites as an Excuse

The scribes and the Pharisees sit on Moses' seat, so do and observe whatever they tell you, but not the works they do. For they preach, but do not practice. (Matthew 23:2-3 ESV)

There are some who declare that they refuse to be Christians when they found Christians to be hypocrites. The truth is those who refused to be Christians have already rejected Christ. They just use the Christian hypocrites as an excuse. After all, Christians are called to follow Christ, not other Christians. Since Christ is not a hypocrite, why should they reject Him?

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But they went out, that it might become plain that they all are not of us. (1 John 2:19 ESV)
