‘Christian’, Why do you run away when

Confronted?

Acts 24:25 “And of him reasoning concerning righteousness and self-control and the coming judgment, Felix, having become frightened, answered, "Go away for the present, and having found opportunity, I will call for you."” - Berean Literal Bible ‘Christian’, are you like Felix… cutting the one short who talks to you about Christ the Saviour of all humanity? Moreover, other than Felix, do you cut the one short who confronts you by simply pretending to agree with him/her… with the hope of ending the conversation and be spared a situation of your insecurity being exposed? A classic stunt so often used by so-called ‘Christians’ when confronted. Or do you simply either remain quiet, or become [sometimes violently] aggressive? This is also happening ever so frequently. Felix became tremendously nervous… especially with the ‘judgement’ part in Paul’s reasoning. ‘Christian’, this behaviour from members of your ‘eternal-hell-believing’ society has become the norm in our experience and there can ONLY be one reason for that… their fear of the very ‘eternal hell fire’ they so vehemently condemn unbelievers to. And you know what, ‘Christian’… your fear is justified, however much the ‘hell’ being of NO eternal duration… but an interim place of painful discipline ( Revelation 21:8 ) . ‘Christian’, how many times has your faith been challenged? How did you respond?
