When Felix came with his wife Drusilla, which was a Jewess, he had sent for Paul wanting to hear him concerning the faith in Jesus Christ. It says,
Acts 24:25 As he reasoned of righteousness, temperance, and judgment to come, (Heb 6:2) eternal judgment
Felix *trembled*, and answered,
Go thy way for this time;
when I have a convenient season,
I will call for thee.
Felix wasnt getting an ear tickling message obviously he was afraid
I always wondered if in Ezekiel, where it says if you dont warn a man... his blood will I require at thine hand.
And where Paul says...
Acts 20:26 Wherefore I take you to record this day, that I am pure from the blood of all men.
Acts 20:27 For I have not shunned to declare unto you all the counsel of God.
Relate, seems to as he preached to them to depart from iniquity 2Ti 2:19 knowing full well Jesus said he would say to many in that day to depart from me ye who work inquity Mat 7:23
Preaching Jesus Christ saying,
Acts 3:26 Unto you first God, having raised up his Son Jesus, sent him to bless you, in turning away every one of you from his iniquities.
And, said, Let every one that nameth the name of Christ depart from iniquity. 2Ti 2:19
Paul warning every man
Whom we preach, warning every man, and teaching every man in all wisdom; that we may present every man perfect in Christ Jesus:
But when Felix called Paul in to hear about the faith of Christ, he aparently heard a message that made him afraid (it says, Felix trembled) which was his reaction to what he heard. Any message speaking of the judgment to come, or anything that makes anyone uncomfortable or tremble in anyway is typically rejected (or the person) even as Felix sent Paul away (as it wasnt a convenient time for that sort of message aparently).
Paul warns if you live after the flesh you shall die, but if through the Spirit mortify the deeds of the body ye shall live.
