It is a very interesting real life event in deed excel.
I would just about agree with your view on the situation SPIRITUALLY, overall.
Since he was bold enough to confront him in the heat of the moment, a different approach couldve been used for the thief.
Although, we dont know...if God prevented the pastor from being assaulted physically on the second visit or not.

excel,
Its kinda like you and I.
When you feel uncomfortable about a conversation, you throw up your defenses and "warn me" you dont want to talk any further.
Ya, you observe there is something wrong with "me", but instead of a social dialogue, you choose to withdraw yourself.

** I do enjoy the posts you put up.
I pray....you take them to heart as well.
Simply put: desiring for yourself, that which you would like to see in others.
Godbless.
-One that is not afraid to be open/honest and direct, in sincerity.

It is a puzzling thing. The truth knocks on the door and you say, "Go away, I'm looking for the truth," and so it goes away. Puzzling.
