It’s actually a huge object in the hypocrite’s eye and a spec in the neigbor’s eye.
So what is the hypocrisy that the hypocrite sees in his brother that he can't see in himself?

I don’t think the hypocrite sees it and that is the point. Jesus sees all.

I always heard the age was guessed at by adding generations and ages of men of scripture given...
No the age was NOT guessed. Obtain a copy of The Chronology of the Old Testament by Martin Anstey and study it carefully.

You sure are speaking up, I feel battered, not disagreed with. Thank heavens we aren't in the same room.

At least you batter me most over the Sabbath. Christ was battered over obedience, and keeping the Sabbath was one way Christ obeyed.
It's not my intention that you, personally, feel battered.

... Then what is the twig in the hypocrite's own eye that he needs to remove before he can take the beam out of his brother's eye?
Methinks you got that backwards. ;)

Of course, how else could they say unto their brother let me take the darkness out of thine eye if they there is no darkness in God, and as written in the scriptures, This then is the message which we have heard of him, and declare unto you, that God is light, and in him is no darkness at all. 1 John 1:5

If therefore the light that is in thee be darkness, how great is that darkness! Matt 6:23

Whosoever transgresseth, and abideth not in the doctrine of Christ, hath not God."

"Who is the image of the invisible God, ..." Col 1:15

He that abideth in the doctrine of Christ, he hath both the Father and the Son."​

Methinks you got that backwards. ;)
Of course, darkness in ones man's eye is a twig while darkness is a another man's eye is a beam;
just as Proverbs 27:6 says a lame man's legs are not equal and neither is the parable to the hypocrite :sneaky:
