Everyone who is not a Christian is a rank-and-file hypocrite. He or she has set himself up as a moral arbiter of the truth while suppressing the truth about God, sometimes without even realizing that that is exactly what he or she has done. Others have actively denied or suppressed the truth about God and then set themselves upon as judges of what is right and wrong, moral and immoral. Yet, by doing so, they end up committing the same "sins" that they condemn. The Apostle Paul, in his continuing exposition of the Book of Romans, spells this out quite clearly. It is all the more reason why the gospel is absolutely necessary to free the natural man from his hypocrisy. Otherwise, the best that the lost or "dead in trespasses and sins" have to look forward to is God's wrath and fury, the former of which the natural man continues to store up, day-by-day, until the Day of God's final Judgment arrives.
