I wouldn’t call what A37 is selling a broken down replica, Justin. He’s mistaken on some important parts (or so we believe), but he’s far more correct than mistaken (even if those mistakes are important).
He isn’t good at discerning about how he’s selling it; and that’s a logical result of the mistakes he’s making. He’s asking Jeff to take a final step without regard to all the other steps in Jeff’s way. Even though such a step can technically be done, it’s blindly insensitive to exhort someone to do so. But then, there’s no reason to try to cultivate that discernment if matters are so precariously hopeless as A believes to be true!–it really would be better, in that case, to at least try to ask Jeff to take that final step even if realistically Jeff is in no position at this time to remotely do so. Pleading for a person whose legs have been broken to leap up past a bunch of steps (falling down which might have broken their legs) is better than nothing, if that person really is at the bottom of a burning coal mine the sides of which could collapse at any moment. It might even be better than nothing if their legs were broken by other people at the top of the stairs, where that person used to be, jostling him off in their blind insensitivity!
Personally, I think it’s better to go down into the mine and carry such people out, or at least help them stagger up a step at a time, or heal their legs and lead them out. 
But that’s admittedly more self-sacrificially dangerous. It’s a lot safer to stand at the top of the stairs and exhort them: I might get trapped down there, too, if I went down there!! (Hopelessly trapped! Oh no!!!)
Now, if a person is entirely capable of going up the stairs but chooses not to, that’s rather a different thing. Although, if I had ultimate love and ultimate power (not even counting a present existence everywhere!), not only would I have no excuse for leaving them there, I’m pretty sure I would be ultimately self-motivated to stay there (for ultimate love’s sake) as long as it takes, trying to lead them out, even if it takes forever. It isn’t like they could wear me out in that case, much less as though I would be threatened with overpowerment by the collapsing burning coal mine. (I might even try doing something about that, too, being omnicompetent and all. )
I’m only a mere little derivative human being; so that kind of total commitment and ability for success isn’t something I myself can personally do.
But I know someone Who can! 
(And I’d better be cooperating with Him, too, in what He’s doing, even if as a weaker ox on the team compared to the Leader I’m hardly capable of doing anything.)
He’s the Someone St. Paul talks about in 1 Cor 13, Whose more excellent way we are encouraged (and expected, at risk of our own chastisement) to aspire to. An active self-sacrificial Love Who keeps on faithfully hoping beyond all transitory things which may fail–but Who never fails!
Jeff might not know Him–but based on the things Jeff writes, I’m pretty sure he does. More importantly, He knows Jeff.
I wish you knew Him as well as Jeff does, A.
(But I know you will someday. )
