preach it pastor.
I highly doubt it’s how it was presented and just a matter of many of today’s believers have not made Jesus LORD in all areas of their life and heart. Jesus said those who have ears will hear Him. A pastor’s tone or wording will not be important if the Truth of God is being spoken and people are there to hear Truth.
Just as many couples with christian belief choose to live together without marriage, also against the word of God.
bible tells us walk the narrow road not the wide (world based one). Not so easy when we have entertained thoughts against the word of God repeatedly and they start to seem better than the word of God.
Nope, it almost certainly IS how it is presented, and part of it implicates hypocrisy. If you don’t show what the purity looks like, just because you might not have vice A but do have vice B, does not mean you can teach virtue C when both vices compromise them.
