Some Christians seem to be really straight-laced, prim and proper. They would never be seen at a pub or party and this generation criticizes them for it. Other Christians, may be seen at social gatherings and some even spend a lot of time with immoral and corrupt people and this generation criticizes them for that. Non-Christians have often criticized Christians because they are out of step with each other's values. Jesus said that believers would be criticized no matter what they do. John the Baptist was as ascetic as they come, and was criticized as having a demon. Jesus mingled socially with sinners and was criticized as a glutton and drunkard (Matthew 11:16-19). John was seen as too holy and Jesus as not holy enough. However, both were right in God's sight, despite criticisms from their generation.
