I honestly can't believe I am having to explain this to you of all those here. Why are you answering questions with questions?

I don't read anywhere in the bible where God has a "Hold" button for his saints to use when they get weary of listening.
How long do you think Peter preached for on the Day of Pentecost?

I don't read anywhere where God has a spiritual hour glass that says "Not long enough...."

That's absurd. You want him to keep going, but you don't know for how long? What about the sinners there? You think they should naturally patiently wait through a 2 hour sermon where someone keeps making the same point over and over?
