People are right to lash out at him. He betrayed those that followed him as if he was a first-hand apostle of Christ. Despite what people think and often quote out of context, the Bible doesn’t give people a free pass from criticism and judgement, especially hypocrites. You can’t put yourself on a pedestal like Hugh Freeze did and not accept judgement when you don’t live up to your own lie. Hugh Freeze is a liar. Stop sugar coating what he is. His life is a lie and now he and his family are suffering because of it. I don’t know if you recall Acts 5:1–10. Ananias and Sapphira were literally struck down by God for lying to the Holy Spirit. So if you’re going to preach about the Bible, you should probably stop looking through ‘feel-good’ lenses. Peter and Paul were sinners and were far from perfect (by their own admission), but they didn’t live in sin. Hugh Freeze lives in sin but preaches as if he doesn’t. That is the difference.
