You know, I'm trying really hard in my life to NOT make everything more complex than it needs to be. Give me a break!True, but its more complex than that.
It was not long into my life as a new believer, with a childlike faith, who just did what the scriptures asked that I got into trouble. But it wasn't with the people of the world: they were intrigued and complementary of a Christian who really lived his faith un-hypocritically despite it seemingly going against the idea's of the world. It was with the Christians I had problems. At the end of the day they had a very works based outlook and my willingness to silently obey the scriptures in my private life took me beyond where they were comfortable going in obedience. Without ever saying a word to them my example forced them to make a choice: join me in following the Word or reject me in preservation of their self perception of holiness. Well, there is a third option but they hadn't the spiritual maturity to see it. You can guess how that went.
That and the other big thing was anything a Christian might do that the world finds offensive is deemed wrong because it 'impedes evangelism'.
I say all that to say, until the radical SJWs came on the scene, it was actually kind of hard to be rejected by the world; but ridiculously easy to be rejected by supposed Christ followers.
It's easier now though that the country is going mad.
I can attest to the state of the church you describe. You talk vaguely about Jesus, they love you. You start walking like him...that's another story. Not being a hypocrit is essential to sharing with the lost, no wonder Yeshua was so outspoken about it to the leaders/teachers of his day.
