In the Lazarus & rich man account; the fault ultimately was the rich mans not that Lazarus didn't witnessed. Maybe Lazarus didn't use vulgar talkor cursing. He could have just smiled and hummed songs of praise. Doing that is just as much of a witness of your faith in God. For others to see the hope we have in how we handle our daily troubles is witnessing. Don't under estimate the impact of your involvement in the life of your friends life, nothing returns unto God void.

Can you explain your term "frailties of man" and "mercy of the whims"?
I meant exactly what I said. :-)

"God does not put anyone's eternal destiny at the mercy of the whims and frailties of man, as that would be a very cruel thing to do".

I was just believing that another thoughtful read through the original statement would help clarify. Good?
