What does Jesus mean in Revelation 3.16 when he says it's better to be hotter cold than lukewarm? Revelation 3.16

verse many of us have heard because you are lukewarm and neither hot nor cold. I will spit you out of my mouth.

So some interpret this to me okay well let's just say this everybody agrees on what hot is.

Most people pretty much agree on what lukewarm is.

No they don't really. Okay but everybody agrees on what hot is. So the question is what is

lukewarm and what is cold. So hot would be like that christian who's on fire for the Lord. This is

by way of analogy. Okay hot is kind of like that like your your your's vigor. There's life.

There's heat coming from your witness of Christ and your obedience to Jesus.

But what's cold and what's lukewarm? Is lukewarm a Christian who's just kind of like

sitting on the bench they're saved but they're just not doing much for the Lord and is cold

unsafe? Is God saying I'd rather you be non-Christian going to hell not covered by the blood of Christ

than being a Christian who's just kind of sitting on the bench and not really accomplishing much

for your life. I don't think so and a lot of people would say yeah that seems pretty weird than

why does God even save lukewarm Christians. In fact in fact it suggests maybe he doesn't. He

spits them out of his mouth. He's like I'll make you cold. Okay so there's another interpretation

that I think is seems better and it's basically saying hot and cold are both good things.

Since the analogy here is about drinking or eating something like let's say that you take soup

there's hot soup and cold soup and you drink or eat it but then there's also

lukewarm and lukewarm is things are actually gross like here I have coffee that is quickly

approaching the lukewarm stage and I'd be happy to drink it iced cold or to drink it hot both

of those are positive things lukewarm is bad. Now the thing about lukewarm is that lukewarm

is room temperature and this could be an analogy of telling them you guys are becoming acclimated
