If you will carefully note, our Lord’s statement of Luke 17:2 explicitly states ”that he should offend one of these little ones.”

Perhaps you understand those words somewhat differently than I, and if so, then that is your right, however, as for me, I interpret it to mean that when one does something, whether by word or deed, that “offends” another, especially ”one of these little ones” (i.e., a “babe in Christ”), then the “offender” is also guilty of having committed an “offence” against the Lord, and will reap the "just" rewards of his deed.

To me, that is an extremely serious “offence,” for it mirrors, in a manner of speaking, the same “offence” which Job was guilty of having committed, to wit, by his own admission, he readily admitted:

”Who is he that hideth counsel without knowledge? Therefore HAVE I UTTERED THAT I UNDERSTOOD NOT; THINGS TOO WONDERFUL FOR ME, WHICH I KNEW NOT” (see Job 42:3, KJV).

Seeing that God allowed physical “chastisement” to befall Job (inferred) for his having stated things to others which he wasn’t knowledgeable about, is it not possible that He (might) do the same to Dr Dan Segraves for his having committed the SAME “offence”?

It is my prayer that He does not, rather that Segraves come to an understanding of the severity of that “offence” which he committed against me, and which I am reasonably confident that he has also committed against others as well.

Whether you concur with anything I have written here, well, I’ll let that be between you and God, for its not within the scope of my God given privileges to render judgment against you for your opinion of my statements about the matter.

Therefore I see no benefit to be gained by me doing, or saying things which might, in any manner whatsoever, be interpreted as ridiculing your understanding of this matter, as you seem to be so inclined to do because you find yourself in disagreement with my expressed views.
