If it only did the same to all those who fall for false teaching, because the pain a mouse goes through while dieing from such poison is what I imagine is going on with the souls of those who buy into the lies being taught by heretical teachers.
Although, one needs to be somewhat wanting to be fooled.
I’m reminded of the way Paul put it,
For the time is coming when people will not endure sound teaching, having itching ears they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own (2 Timothy 4:3)
Then they die a slow agonizing death from within their souls, while attacking those of us who are just trying to open up their eyes and minds to the truth.
Agreed. And, when theology is derived from tradition, over text, you get Sotomayor (SCOTUS) raised as a Catholic, but concerned about homosexuals not feeling welcome in the country. Romanists argue there are 30,000 denominations of Protestants...they fail to notice there are 30,000,000 version of the RCC.
