Well my friend, I can see that ideologically we will have to part ways.
You believe that the fallen world does NOT need any more John the Baptists (or his message),
while I believe that the world DOES need (and desperately) MORE legitimate, spirit filled,
duly commissioned, bona fide John the Baptists preaching the same unadulterated, straightforward message.

Well what was Jesus like. He wasnt' called christian, but a RAbbi, then after he went to be with the Father, Christian, seems named after Christ. He didn't condemn the women caught in adultery, as they stood with a big rock in their hand, he said, you without sin cast the first stone, they all dropped the rocks, and Jesus said, Women where are your accussers, to me I feel love in that, then he said, " neither do I comdenm you, go and sin no more. "

I agree . Man condemns, Jesus didn't. The HOly spirit convicts, that's the HOly Spirit, not us. The HOly spirit comes from God. Condemnation comes from a human mouth. Conviction, comes from the heart of God. Then you say, what could people do , Pray. Jesus told Peter, this. Satan wanted to sift you as wheat, but I prayed for you.

1Kings 18..... does not get any more confrontational than that. Jesus cleasned the temple twice, humiliating and wrecking the temple franchise the Saducees had set up.
There is little doubt confrontation has its place in Gods plans.
38Then the fire of the LORD fell and consumed the burnt offering and the wood and the stones and the dust, and licked up the water that was in the trench. 39And when all the people saw it, they fell on their faces and said, “The LORD, he is God; the LORD, he is God.” 40And Elijah said to them, “Seize the prophets of Baal; let not one of them escape.” And they seized them. And Elijah brought them down to the brook Kishon and slaughtered them there.

Amen Bro. DAvid encouraged himself, when no one else could, this word, is a miracles, admist many others. No special man, eas Elijah, a phrophet, yes, but a human being, and at a time, went into hidding, being afraid, and depressed, telling God, that he might as well take him now, since he was going to die, anyway. Jezebel was killing off the phrophets in that story. Instead of the water quenching the fires, the fire quenched those waters, 
God is a warrior, and he does fight for us, why be a worrier then. Like Love, many water's cannot quench Love, a fire, God is love, a consuming fire. Ty for posting this amazing bible verse.

Yes, I think delivery matters sometimes more than the message. We have to quit beating people over the head with the scripture.
1 Pet. 4:14, 15 "If ye be reproached for the name of Christ, happy are ye; for the spirit of glory and of God resteth upon you: on their part he is evil spoken of, but on your part he is glorified. But let none of you suffer as a murderer, or as a thief, or as an evildoer, or as a busybody in other men's matters."
