Dear, Dear misguided Soul;
Are you familiar with the bible at all? It is filled with promise, and with warning. If my position is correct, and there truly is a judgment after death; and if You stand before God in a truly magnificent effort to justify your life, and somewhere along the way, you find that My position is correct, and I had never tried to warn you of the wrath of God for such abhorrent behavior, wouldn't you think badly of me for not warning you?
I am not attempting to make you, or anyone else for that matter, follow my life pattern; God knows it has been hard enough for me, and I chose it. I would not even ask anyone to share it, let alone live it. But I most certainly would try to let everyone know of the promises and the warnings in a book in which I believe with my whole heart and my whole soul.
That is the entirety of my goal. To simply spare you and others of such a terrible end, simply because of my silence, when the warning might make a difference to even one brother under Adam.
And no, I do not take issue with your response, in fact, I would doubt your sincerity if you did otherwise. I only wish I had been able to somehow meet you in an earlier part of your life, when I might possibly have been of some influence, other than to stir your anger.
But, God is all about miracles. I pray he send one your way and cause you to actually open your eyes and heart to at least investigate what I am trying to spare you from.
God bless you and forgive you, and give you doubt about your safety net of false teaching. You know how to reach me if ever you need to have answers to questions that may trouble you.
