So people like Pat Robertson.

Jeremiah for example, preached forty years without seeing any significant positive response. On the contrary, his countrymen threatened to kill him if he did not stop prophesying (Jer 11:19-23); his own family and friends plotted against him (12:6); he was not permitted to marry and so had to suffer loneliness (16:2); plots were devised to kill him secretly (18:20-23); he was beaten and put in stocks (20:1, 2); he was spied on by friends who sought revenge (10)... and accused of being a traitor to the nation (37:13, 14). He had virtually no converts to show for a lifetime of ministry.
Hmmm, seems like this guy was not liked or listened to nor did he promote Christianity is any productive way--"no significant positive response" "virtually no converts".
'Splain to me why anyone would want to be like that?





It matters not how you die...as long as you die a better person than you hoped and no worse a person than you feared.
