That is clear as mud and why I find the bible incomprehensible.
Incomprehensible? Really?
Personally, I think it's pretty clear. The speaker (first person, "I") wishes that the person or people he is addressing (second person, "you") were able to demonstrate some sort of full commitment to a position or cause. "Hot" and "Cold" are metaphors for being fully committed to a belief or position. The speaker is disgusted with the people he is addressing because they aren't willing to commit. "Lukewarm" is a metaphor for that lack of commitment.
Great that it has meaning to you and thanks for your interpretation.
Seems I was not alone in finding this and so many other, oft repeated meanderings of the Bible less than transparent and difficult to understand. IMO this lack of clarity does the love of God and Jesus a disservice.
To me metaphors and decoder rings belong on or in cereal boxes. My thinking is logical in that if I want to say something I say it.
To leave so much to interpretation, given the human race’s love of distorting things to their own whim, seems counter productive. A clear concise message with little or no wiggle room for “interpretation” would be quite helpful
