What is the "Appeal to Hypocrisy" fallacy, and how is it used to confuse people about salvation and victory over sin?
In this video, we expose one of the most common logical fallacies used in Christian discussions—the Appeal to Hypocrisy (also known as the Tu Quoque Fallacy). This fallacy dismisses a biblical truth—not by addressing the argument—but by pointing out the failures of the person presenting it.

When someone says:
“God can help you stop sinning.”
And the response is:
“Are you sinless?”
—That is the Appeal to Hypocrisy in action.

Using Scripture, particularly 1 Corinthians 4:4 and Galatians 5:16, we break down the two major mistakes behind this fallacy:

🔹 Mistake #1: Man cannot judge himself

Personal sincerity or conscience does not determine truth. Only God examines the human heart.

🔹 Mistake #2: Personal failure does NOT disprove God’s power

Just because a believer is still struggling with sin does not mean God cannot give victory. It simply means we have not held onto the victory He already offers.

This presentation helps Christians recognize faulty reasoning, avoid being misled, and stand firmly on the Bible’s clear message:
“Live by the Spirit, and you will never fulfill the desires of the flesh.” — Galatians 5:16

If you're looking for solid biblical logic, clear theology, and practical Christian living, this video will equip you to answer objections with confidence and faith.
