With what shall I come before the Lord and bow down before the exalted G0D? Shall I come before him with – burnt offerings – with calves a year old? Will the Lord be pleased with thousands of rams – with ten thousand rivers of oil? Shall I offer my firstborn for my transgressions – the fruit of my body for the sin of my soul?
He has shown you, O man, what is good. And what does GOD require of you – only to do that which is just; and to love mercy, walking humbly with him.
"My servant shall eat but you shall go hungry! My servant shall drink but you shall go thirsty! " says the Lord.
The son of man came eating and drinking and you say he is crazy or an alcoholic.
But wisdom vindicates her children.
You should be seeking food that endures unto eternal life. Food which the son of man will give you.
If the son of man frees you , you continue in His word and the word of the One who sent Him so you will truly be free.
Woe to the majestic crown of Ephraim’s Drunkards,
to the fading flower of his glorious splendor, set on the summit above the fertile valley, the pride of those overcome by wine.
Behold, the Lord has one
who is strong and mighty.
Like a hailstorm or destructive tempest,
like a driving rain or flooding downpour,
he will smash that crown to the ground.
The majestic crown of Ephraim’s drunkards will be trampled underfoot.
The fading flower of his beautiful splendor, on the summit above the fertile valley, will be like a ripe fig before the summer harvest:
Whoever sees it will take it in his hand and swallow it.
On that day the LORD of Hosts will be a crown of glory, a diadem of splendor to the remnant of His people, a spirit of justice to him who sits in judgment, and a strength to those who repel the onslaught at the gate.
These also stagger from wine
and stumble from strong drink:
Priests and prophets reel from strong drink and are befuddled by wine.
They stumble because of strong drink, muddled in their visions and stumbling in their judgments.
For all their tables are covered with vomit; there is not a place without filth.

Apparently you do not hear nor do you live because they go hand in hand. Those who belong to the world think like the world and speak in a worldly way but the one who comes from above, from heaven, testifies to what he has seen and heard but no one believes him. If anyone does believe they render the truth of God for the One who is sent by God He speaks the words of God.
no my post does not conflict with his word. true Jesus wants all to be "Good" ,but he also wants us to follow him and do his Father's will. Jesus's "Good", mean living a righteous life, not just being a "good" person. which is what MANY wants to believe. in other words, as long as they treat others right, they considered themselves righteous, because they do "Good." do you think some of those who died in the Flood were NOT "Good" people? because MANY were, but they refuse to listen to Noah and chance from their debauched and selfish lifestyle. they were not righteous like Noah and his family.
you said "Apparently you do not hear nor do you live because they go hand in hand." you're entitle to what you think, you know concerning myself. I have to prove myself to Jehovah God and Jesus, that's all that matters. also you basically confirmed the verses I posted, James 4:4 and 1John 2:15-17. when you said "Those who belong to the world think like the world and speak in a worldly way." those "thinking like the world", also live as the "world" do. yet some of them are "good", does that mean they're living righteous? the scriptures I post before shows if we're living the lifestyle of the "world." then we're not "GOOD", in the sense of living righteously. peace

There's that god/messiah complex, again.
