Zach, I don't want to insult anyone, but then again there can be people who claim to be Christians that have no desire to give up certain things. I know for myself I have had some problems in some areas in my own life after being saved in 1986. But professing to be a Christian is not all it takes. I had a hard time giving up some things I knew were contrary to the word of God, but was constantly seeking God's Wisdom and strength to overcome. Alot of us have had this problem, but we should always have a desire to overcome this. We will always be ever confronted with this world and it's evil, but always striving and asking for guidance. But I think in this perticular scripture Jesus is talking to one's that truly have no desire to fully give up the ways of the world, they're straddling the fence. They want the best of both worlds. It has to be of the heart, in that the Father know's our heart and thoughts and desires, and knows if we desire true holiness in serving him. We all struggle, but if our heart is truly right, and we make mistakes we can be forgiven for our mistakes. Praise God for his Mercy!!! Love in the Father's Perfection, Serenetime | ||||||

EVRYONE IS MAKING GREAT POINTS ABOUT BEING LUKEWARM. HOWEVER WE MUST REMEMBER THAT JESUS WAS NOT ADDRESSING INDIVIDUALS WAS ADDRESSING THE CHRURCH. THE CHURCH AT LAODICEA FORGOT WHAT CHURCH WAS ABOUT AND IN THE PROCESS OF FORGETING THEY PUSHED CHRIST OUT. IN VERSE 20 JESUS IS SAYING THAT "I AM OUTSIDE TRYING TO GET BACK IN!" WHO WILL BE THE ONE WHO HEARS HIM KNOCK? THE PERSON WHO REALIZES THAT THE CHURCH IS LUKEWARM AND DOES SOMETHING ABOUT IT! | ||||||
