Revelation 3:16

So, because you are lukewarm - neither hot nor cold - I am about to spit you out of my mouth.

I think it means (and this is just my opinion) that if we only follow him when it suits us that He will not want us with Him eg only help someone (whether with time or money) when we feel like it, when we put other things before Him - like not having time to read and study His Word or do the things that help others.

I don't know anything about the Quran or the Tanak so I can't say anything about those.

I am not sure where the last one is found but I believe it is something like "did I not do these things in your name?" and the Lord will reject them because they did it publicly and for their own praise and not His.

These are the things I think, but someone else may have different views and I could be wrong. I am always learning new things each day.
