28 “But what do you think? A man had two sons, and he came to the first and said, ‘Son, go work today in the vineyard.’ 29 “And he answered, ‘I will not’; but afterward he regretted it and went. 30 “The man came to the second and said the same thing; and he answered, ‘I will, sir’; but he did not go. 31 “Which of the two did the will of his father?” They said, “The first.” Jesus said to them, “Truly I say to you that the tax collectors and prostitutes will get into the kingdom of God before you. 32 “For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him; but the tax collectors and prostitutes did believe him; and you, seeing this, did not even feel remorse afterward so as to believe him.

Dear Achen, I salute you for this article. I belong to the Marthoma community, i live in Cochin. It is so nice that you have spoken about the actual essence of Christ's teachings as opposed to the blind conformity that is peddled as 'Christianity' nowadays. I watched your speech at Thiruvambadi on People TV just now. We need a radical redefinition of Christian practice in Kerala today.
