My current study suggests that the statement "...thou shall heap coals of 
fire..." does not apply to the receiver (enemy) but is in reference to the 
giver.  Nor is this a "hoped for" but an absolute - every time occurrance.
The final point in my study involves the Greek word(s) which translate to 
"thou shall heap".  I am not, as yet, sufficiently versed in the 
construction to accomplish what is required. I need the following 
words/phrases written in the Greek:
    "thou shall heap" - "thou might heap"  Romans 12:20
    "thou shall be saved" - "thou might be saved"  Mark 16:16
    "himself will be saved" - "himself might be saved" I Corin 3:15
My study hinges on the similarity of the shall/will statements vs the 
similarity of the might statements and, of course, the difference between 
the absoluteevery time vs the hoped for/occasional occcurrance. Thank you 
for your consideration and valuable assistance.  Robert Hooe
