Jesus said; that the world will come to despise you, or his followers; maybe this prophecy has become self fulfilling? Preaching against sin, while living in sin could be understood as hypocrisy to one who believes this authority does not come from God. Telling others that they are sinful according to God, when they don't think they are... while may seem the only way to spread “the word” does comes off as judgmental.
In sincerity; Jesus said to tell the world about him; but that was 2,000 years ago right; at least in America, and other modernized countries, perhaps this goal has been accomplished?
This is not meant to provoke anyone; I would just like to know your thoughts?
