Why? You're free to believe whatever you like. :idunno:
As demonstrated here every day despite what the Bible teaches...at least he is clear...he is against Him...he wishes to scatter
What is spit out is lukewarm...false worship is profane and an abomination as Malachi and others in the OT assert...
As does John Knox:
“By this precept of that eternal God—who is immutable, and can command nothing but that which is just—are all people, realms, and nations (that will avow themselves to be the inheritance of the Lord) bound and obliged to measure their religion; not by the example of other realms, neither yet by their own good intention, nor determination of men, but only by the expressed word of God. So that what therein is commanded, ought to be done by the people of God, what appearance or external show of holiness ever it has. And, therefore, have we most justly rejected the rabble of ceremonies which the Papists held for the chief exercise of their religion, as things having no better ground than the invention and consent of men.[8]
...
By contrary doctrine, we understand whatsoever men, by laws, councils, or constitutions have imposed upon the consciences of men, without the expressed commandment of God’s word: such as be vows of chastity, forswearing of marriage, binding of men and women to several and disguised apparels, to the superstitious observation of fasting days, difference of meat for conscience sake, prayer for the dead; and keeping of holy days of certain saints commanded by man, such as be all those that the Papists have invented, as the feasts (as they term them) of apostles, martyrs, virgins, of
Christmas, Circumcision, Epiphany, Purification, and other fond feasts of our lady. Which things, because in God’s scriptures they neither have commandment nor assurance, we judge them utterly to be abolished from this realm; affirming further, that the obstinate maintainers and teachers of such abominations ought not to escape the punishment of the civil magistrate.[15]”

Yes a traditional view is better hot or cold than lukewarm...luke warm gets vomited out...at least cold is refreshing...
And arguing with hard core atheists COLD to belief is refreshing...refreshing to affirm that “There but by the Grace of Yah go I”...
