Judge ye these three, if ye please

[Archaea]

Three men.

One man, a heavy drinker, known to have had at least two affairs with other women while married.

Another man, a drunk to the core.

A third man, a nondrinker and vegetarian.

Rate them.

Why? What are we rating them for, their level of righteousness?

Is this a trick question, are there more major sins than the ones you're listing here?

Not telling. It was a problem posed to my son in school.

Sheesh! What kind of school does he attend?

"Therefore judge nothing before the appointed time; wait till the Lord comes. He will bring to light what is hidden in darkness and will expose the motives of men's hearts. At that time each will receive his praise from God." I Corinthians 4:5

Well then I don't know.

I don't think that number one or two are at all trustworthy. Addicted people are desperate people. Unless number three has some severe digestive problem that prohibits him from eating meat I wouldn't trust him either, extremists are always a bit unstable.

If number one was reformed and depending how far in the past these little indiscretions are I might tend to put him at the top of the list as the most likely to get things turned around.

Of the three - unless he's a raging alcoholic who would cause serious problems for me - I would only choose to associate with the drunk.

Sinners, all of them; none of whom deserve to go to heaven on the basis of their own merits.

This made me laugh. Well done.
