The problem people have with Christianity is that Christianity claims that men are sinful and in need of a Savior.
Ideas like righteousness, repentance, worship, glory, honor, humility etc etc... leave a bitter taste in the mouth of the proud and self centered.
Jesus claimed that men loved darkness rather than light and those who love darkness are not willing to come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed.
If Christ had come proclaiming a gospel of eat and drink and be merry for tomorrow we die, then many of you would be lauding Him as a great man, a bastion of human liberty and hedonism.
The proud and self centered man cannot accept that he needs someone to save him. Life revolves around him and his desires and his wants. He wants men to honor him and worship him and look at him.
Therefore Christ has said:
How can you believe, when you receive glory from one another and you do not seek the glory that is from the one and only God?
