he admitted it himself.
Why not concern yourself with yourself since in your belief system all you made was empty clanging warnings.
You applied this verse to Freak:
Answer a fool according to his folly,
or he will be wise in his own eyes.
So, yes, you did imply that Freak is a fool. Hey, if you don't care that Jesus said calling someone a fool puts you in danger of the fire of hell, that's up to you. But then maybe you aren't as much of a bible-believer as you say/think you are.

is not my implication. He self-identified.
If you can't deal with it then talk it up the mystic ... he's good for indigestion.
btw .... you quoting the Bible, let alone in context, is yet but another empty clanging bell.

Like I said, if you don't care that you quoted the Proverbs verse about Freak, thus implying he's a fool and putting yourself in danger of hell fire, according to your own beliefs ... that's up to you. But it definitely gives the impression that you don't actually believe what you say you do.
With the tendency to abuse.
Both satan and those that fallow him,(voluntarily or inadvertently) will endure the same environment .
Eternal fire is far more merciful than letting the continued abusive behavior be ungoverned.

No one follows Satan...Satan is a characteristic that can be applied to humans as well as angels in a good or bad way...

How does eternal fire "govern" (I assume you mean stops it) such behavior?
And to whom is that more merciful? Certainly not to those IN the fire. So, I guess you mean to those who would have to suffer under the abuse. Are you saying that God couldn't think of a way to protect people other than burning abusers for eternity?

Interesting that for a long time, "HELL" was believed to be a cold and lonely plane of existence...When and how did it become a hot fiery place???...

I'm not concerned about what false impressions you conjure up nor is it unexpected since such reactions is from hating the truth ... just as Jesus said it would.

I wasn't clear, perhaps. I also am not concerned about what impression it gives me. I would think it would concern you that you, according to your own belief system, are in danger of the fires of eternal hell since you've called someone a fool. Since it does not, it should indicate to you that a little reflection might be worthwhile since there's obviously a disconnect from what you say you believe and what you actually believe.
