In this case, I would have to say Elisha is a false prophet.
Is it your contention that since a prophet, clearly beloved of God, sent bears to rip apart 42 youngsters, that this is part of God’s vision of how I should live?

I see. You feel free to reject those parts of the Bible that make you uncomfortable. That’s a VERY hopeful sign. I mean, it makes you a steaming great hypocrite, but it’s still hopeful.
