Actually, dear Kismet... (and may you have peace!)...
I have asked NO ONE to listen to me, and most here will tell you that. I have, rather, only done what I have been direct to do, and THAT is direct any who WISH to 'hear'... to listen to my Lord. And so, I speak... whether YOU 'hear'... or you 'refrain'.
Do NOT listen to me, dear Kismet, for I am but 'earthling man'... flesh and blood. I am just a servant... and slave... and it is to my MASTER that I direct your ears. I cannot save you, for I cannot save myself. While I can speak 'truthfully', I cannot TELL you 'truth'... for I can only tell YOU... what the TRUTH (John 14:6)... tells me.
So, hear HIM... and listen to HIM... if you wish to hear and listen to anybody. Or don't. As a 'free-will' agent, the choice... is entirely yours.
Again, I bid you peace.
A slave of Christ,
SJ
