"Ezekiel affirms
boundaries and limits—the prophet who warns the guilty to turn from
wicked paths has fulfilled her duty and saved her life. She cannot
make anyone turn (incidentally, God can't do that either). She will
not be held accountable for how others respond to God's warning
word. But human is responsible to human. The one who has heard the
word of God must warn the guilty." |
