THANKS FOR YOUR KIND REPLY,

2S: I didn't feel any conviction of the Holy Spirit, but rather that I was falsely accused.

Q: *******IF******* HOLY SPIRIT leave you or anyone free of any conviction--THEN--the perspective I'd felt in my spirit may well not be for you or whomever.

Q: However, after added prayer on yours and my last post, I ALSO feel constrained in my spirit to note:

Q: *******IF******* the shoe fits wherever, whenever, however, to whatever degree--then to that degree and fit, one would be wise to wear it and learn therefrom. This has been my experience amidst and after LOTS of attempts at slinging lots of well earned lightening bolts and warnings.

2S: Jonah had said, "Yet forty days, and Nineveh shall be overthrown." They repented from the king of Ninevah on down. There was no middle lukewarm compromise

Q: Quite so. But Abraham asked if what--100, 50 even 10 souls were righteous--and God went with every number Abraham asked--which might arguably be described as being somewhat flexible [I realize God knew the reality but still, I don't think He was just giving Abraham glib, patronizing responses].

Q: I don't believe God has revealed to any prophet to my knowledge the number of righteous; nor the number of people hours or minutes in fasting and prayer; nor the set of Presidential, legislative actions or number of leaders required to sit in sack-cloth and ashes on Pennsylvania (sp?) avenue; nor the number of churches and individual Christians required to repent to each other and heal relationships; nor the number of abortion Dr's required to repent and make restitution etc. etc. etc. BEFORE GOD WOULD MODIFY THIS OR THAT SPECIFIC EVENT OF JUSTICE.

Q: I'm not aware of God declaring any where to date that *******ALL******* opportunities for mercy in every respect at every level for every individual, every group, every locale in the U.S. are 110% over and past and that every prayer etc. at this point is futile.

2S: Ps 37:30 The mouth of the righteous speaketh wisdom, and his tongue talketh of judgment.

Q: YES! TRUE ENOUGH. Yet, I suspect there are ample contrasting, parallel Scriptures on speaking wisdom in mercy; truth in Love etc. And, it may be that you are called to do so more in judgement and I am called to do so more in Love. God sometimes apportions tasks and callings that way.

2S: Those who don't want to repent and who love their sin unto death are annoyed by that.

Q: If you are reflective and honest with yourself, I suspect you would agree that I've not been overly resistant to annoying people.

Q: I HAVE, however, tried very hard to make my words MORE HEARABLE, wise, winsome, compassionate where I-with-God's-help-can--except when speaking to pharisees and the out-right defiant and rebellious. I feel constrained in my spirit that such is the stance and approach God would have of me INSTEAD of my more traditional, decades more experienced and practiced years of lightening bolt slinging.

Q: I would merely add a suggestion that something about SOME of the nuances of SOME of your responses leave me constrained to encourage you to take such issues again to The Lord in prayer. But I certainly respect and support you in whatever Biblical stances you feel constrained to take.

Q: Bless you both in your continued ministry. LUB

In 2 Kings 13 is an account of the young prophet and the old prophet. The Lord gave the young prophet specific instructions. The young prophet went away and came to the old prophet who gave him different instructions. He listened to the old prophet and G~d sent a lion and killed him.

1Ki 13:26 And when the prophet that brought him back from the way heard thereof, he said, It is the man of God, who was disobedient unto the word of the LORD: therefore the LORD hath delivered him unto the lion, which hath torn him, and slain him, according to the word of the LORD, which he spake unto him.

We could go back and forth all day on the issues in the last few posts. I will continue to warn people of judgment coming and you can continue to make them feel comfortable that all's well.

Let's leave it with this: Let every man be fully persuaded in his own mind.
