“17 The Spirit and the bride say, “Come!” And let the one who hears say, “Come!” Let the one who is thirsty come; and let the one who wishes take the free gift of the water of life.
18 I warn everyone who hears the words of the prophecy of this scroll: If anyone adds anything to them, God will add to that person the plagues described in this scroll. 19 And if anyone takes words away from this scroll of prophecy, God will take away from that person any share in the tree of life and in the Holy City, which are described in this scroll.“
Jesus the Christ puts out an invitation to those who thirst and hunger for God with a warning to all who place additions or subtractions to the invitation—pseudo-believers and non-believers. It is Jesus who will be the ultimate Judge of all. Our job is to give the invitation, let the Holy Spirit speak to that person, and to disciple them as we would want to be discipled with Jesus as the only example, Lore, like you have said here. And as a person over sixty, if I see someone lording themselves over someone else, I reserve the right to lovingly use my umbrella and my purse….
