How’s Jesus going to give him the answer?

I'll assume your question is serious.

Jesus, being God, has innumerable means at His disposal. Among those more commonly experienced by His disciples are applications of relevant Scripture, promptings of the indwelling Holy Spirit, circumstances, counsel of other mature believers, pronouncements by those in authority, personal intervention by the Lord Himself, etc. All of these means and more are vividly illustrated in the Bible.

To: Hebrews 11:6

1) I can’t speak about promptings of the Holy Spirit because I am not the person in question.

2) Circumstances. Mr. Wallenda is in this specific circumstance because he placed himself there. He need not be in it.

3) Counsel of Mature believers. Wise counsel will of course not be in contradiction to God’s revealed word too.

So, Having said that, I do know this... The Spirit and mature Christians will not prompt a person to do something in contradiction to God’s revealed word.

2) What does the revealed word say?

“Thou Shalt Not Tempt the Lord Thy God”.

Next question -— is needlessly risking one’s life in some dangerous feat WITHOUT A SAFETY NET not tempting God?
