the thrill of pushing too hard being the theme, and letting something burn too long a specific instance of this.

Let me ask: When you comment this way, does it mean you think the poem sucks?

Yeah, I didn't relent while I was fighting, I didn't stop fighting, or hold back any tirade.
Maybe "wringing" is the problem. I did wonder about that, but decided it was a good enough word for kind of fidgeting my fist around, but not from pain or weakness.

Yes, of course you could. Your argument is 'The Bible isn't about getting into heaven.' All you have to do is post a bunch of passages that aren't about getting into heaven.
Except - wait. I already posted a bunch of Bible quotes about how the goal is to get to heaven.
I have no articles of faith, I only summarize the Bible. That's what the preceding comment is. Maybe you accidentally reversed that sentence?

A contorted answer. You assume God, and that's all I was saying.

What I assume is that you remember an entire conversation where you assumed God but not heaven. If you don't, it's here: http://www.poemranker.com/poem-details.jsp?id=119209. Notice I made more-or-less the same argument you're making now, to less effect. That is, at least when I assume God I assume God as the only real source of information we have about him makes him out to be. When you assume God you make him out of pillows to practice French kissing.

I see you wringing a big fist, holding back the tirade, not relenting on the fight.

I could slam Scripture back at you, but I don't want that kind of arguement. Mine was a summary of thoughts gathered from the Bible, not an Article of Faith.

I don't think you're using relent the same way I do. Are you?

When you say, "Could God . . .?" you assume God.

It doesn't assume God. Anyway, you're one to talk about assuming God, considering you've previously on this assumed a God who doesn't act in any way scripturally ascribed to Him. At least I assume a God who is either unreasonable or privy to a reason beyond our human comprehension. Ie, one so different from "reason" it might as well be called something totally different. Either way, it gives me the heebie-jeebies. I guess this is what people get faith for.

I believe now that you really love me. The way you would a fluffy little dog. It's touching, really. And this morning my hair looks that way. I'll release the knee from your neck now, knowing you'll not relent.

Colossians 3
"Rules for Holy Living
Since, then, you have been raised with Christ, set your hearts on things above, where Christ is seated at the right hand of God."
Matthew 6:33
"But seek ye first the kingdom of God..."
Also consider that many of the times Christ sets out or blesses a way of living, the promised reward is Heaven. As in:
"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven... Blessed are those who are persecuted because of righteousness, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."
"Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich man to enter the kingdom of God."
BOB: The Kingdom of God/heaven is meant to refer to the earthly kingdom-come, paradise and perfection on earth and so forth.
JIM: I say Christ (and Bible-writers) didn't make any distinction between that heaven and heaven-in-the-sky. And in the eye of the needle passage, at least, Jesus is universally understood as meaning heaven where you go when you die.
BOB: But the Bible's not written to extol the advantages of heaven.
JIM: I think Bible writers probably expected people to know them. But it does lay out a moral code with a promised reward for following it. That reward is heaven.
PS-We've already discussed your heavenless faith dozens of times. I'll respond as I always do: Good for you. Really.
