He said this about people who say they believe but dont follow his teachings/ this is not about non believers
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
you call me master yet you obey me not.
you call me the light, yet you see me not.
you call me the way; yet you walk with me not
you call me fair, yet you love me not.
you call me rich, yet you ask me not.
you call me eternal, yet you seek me not
you call me gracious yet you trust me not
you call me noble yet you serve me not.
you call me mighty yet you honor me not
you call me just, yet you fear me not.
So If i choose to condemn you blame me not.
----------------------------------------------------------------------
this was meant to go to all believers who dont make a effort to follow god and thats who jesus said that to.

I would be interested in having chapter and verse as I do not recognize the source. But I am very aware of the consequiences as Jesus also said, Many will in the time of judgement call me Lord Lord and I will say, depart from me you who work evil, I don't know your name.

This passage refers to "lip-service" believers (I am personally a non-believer). One GREAT example, is all the people who spend all day typing bible verses on the internet or insulting non-believers in arguements when they could be out just treating people nicely or volunteering in their community to serve their god better....they'd rather do the easy thing, which brings glory to themselves, as opposed to being out doing some good and getting nothing for it. I don't care, of course, b/c I know it's all BS, lol...but that's what the verse refers to. :D

When and where did Jesus say this?
I wish to know, for I have never heard this poetic version of Jesus's words.

You know what? I'm glad that Jesus loves me?
Would you agree that you are not the only one who gets the message?

I would love to know the Biblical reference, if you please.
Cannot argue with the poetry and its implications at all, but I don't recall reading this as you have it here.

Hypocrites.
Not true believers.
A true believer walks the talk.
