Is this considered hypocritical?

Hypocrisy is saying one thing and doing another. For example, if you were to tell people not to gossip and then turn around and say "can you believe Sara slept with that guy!?" that would be hypocritical.

Deciding that you prefer a different kind of amp then you originally thought is just changing your mind

Did you get lost?

This is a CHRISTIAN ADVICE forum.

You may have not known.

Do you have a question about faith? I would be glad to help if I can?

Another thing I wanted to bring up was, how does one determine what is hypocritical, a lie, and simply changing your mind?

For example, a while ago, I was against church dating, but now I am starting to retract my previous thought. Would that be considered changing my mind or something else?

If you change your mind and stay behind that change it's fine, it only becomes hypocritical if you contradict and go against what you say. Example- Saying you strongly dislike and disapprove of cussing, but just 5 minutes later, turn around and curse like a sailor cause you got ticked off about something. That's hypocritical, it wouldn't be if you said you approved though, and then cursed, then it'd just be a bad decision/habit =P.

Makes sense. I think the key is sticking to what you believe in and if so happens you change your mind, then you should stick to what you last believe in.

what is church dating?

Dating people within your church.
