Is that another approach you've used and if so, how well does that work for ya ?
That doesn’t sound like a Martin Luther action. I’ve read much of his work and don’t remember that. If you can provide a reference I would be appreciative.
I do remember a tale about Martin Luther throwing an ink well at a demon which was made up to justify a spot of spilled ink in his office.
Luther’s philosophies are very similar to my own experiences and to do something like that would be lowering yourself to their level, in which case you lose.
I have had them throw up, spit, hiss, growl, moan, and say just about any nasty thing you could imagine... but they have never tried throwing anything at me. They know that the Holy Spirit around them just gets tighter and tighter and they scream in fear if they push too far. I have had them threaten to kill the person they are in, but they are liars and never carry through.. Thank God.
