Why is it that John the baptist who "came neither eating or drinking" was said to have a demon, but Jesus who "came eating and drinking" was said to be "a gluttonous man and a drunkard, a friend of tax collectors and sinners!"? (Matthew 11:18-19)
Why is it that the world instinctively knows they are wicked but the religous feels obligated to point it out?
Why is it that the religious beg for Grace, but so seldom give it?
Why is it that the cities where Jesus did miracles are the same cities that refused to repent? (Matthew 11:20-24)
Why do these questions sound so wrong, so backwards?
I know your deeds, that you are neither cold nor hot; I wish that you were cold or hot. So because you are lukewarm, and neither hot nor cold, I will spit you out of My mouth. Because you say, "I am rich, and have become wealthy, and have need of nothing," and you do not know that you are wretched and miserable and poor and blind and naked...Those whom I love, I reprove and discipline; therefore be zealous and repent.
~ Revelation 3:15-17 & 19
