When replying to avoidance and dishonesty, avoidance and dishonesty may appear to the beholder ....
You are the one who called a threat something that is not a threat. Why , I don't understand.... Continuing to do so is even more childish, eh!? < shrugs > but I don't know why you think it even could be considered a threat. If someone wants to drive down the highway after finding out the bridge is out and there's a 200 foot drop, maybe they can't be stopped... I don't know... but I will still warn them, without any threatening at all.....
The direction people are going is on the wide road to destruction (no threat - just reality).
The purpose of telling,
is so those who love God and are called according to His Purpose may STOP SINNING, be freed from the penalty of sin, and no longer remain on the road to destruction. Rather get on the narrow road to life eternal... again no threat, only a warning and a promise !
