Impressive, Prolife. If folks wanna condemn themselves, I let them and don't even lose one blinkin' ounce of sleep about it. Don't get me wrong. I'm not hard-hearted or nothing. If a guy really wants to see the thing, I'll labor with him for as long as he wants and have done this very many times. But when obviously undereducated guys allow themselves to be blinded by their own high, but unwarranted estimation of themselves, I just let them stay blind and impassively watch them bang into things as they draw ever nearer to dying in their sins.

I mean, we must be real here. Wide is the path that leads to destruction. Vast numbers of sophisticated non-believers are dying in their sins and will continue to die in their sins, never once sincerely appealing even to the cosmos for mercy. They see no need for it. It is nonsense to them. We can do nothing for such people but trust that God knows what He is doing. We don't cry when we tear out and burn the weeds.

If we were to grieve for every self-blinded sinner even on these relatively minuscule forums, we'd do nothing but grieve. I joke around on these forums, but I have also had some wonderful private conversations with folks who "get" what is happening here. The time is short. Don't have time to be serious with folks who are dead and who appear intent on staying dead. So I spend time sincerely sharing the truth with those very few who have ears to hear, and I let the rest do as they please, enjoying them (or not) as far as I can while I can.
