RT @nick_routledge: @Plough Yoder Neufeld describes it as "participating in Messianic faithfulness," a disclosure (1 Cor. 1:18) yoked, through us, finally, to the redemption of the future from the power of history itself: Christ's victory over "the demonic complex" (D.E.H. Whiteley) realized upon God's Day.

“How do we balance the vital importance of our potency with the equally vital importance of our lack of omnipotence? Perhaps there lies the key: that our potency is not omnipotence and our lack of omnipotence is not impotence”  - Marilyn Charles

A field of perception and liberating activity reconciled, perhaps, in the figure of Jesus leading us to participate in God's power which to the world seems like powerlessness.

@Plough @myleswerntz 1/ "Some insist that Jesus meant for us to live out these teachings fully now; others argue that this will only be possible when he returns." To dyadic basics, then? Panikkar: "The ultimate basis for the method will have to be the very reality which the method helps to disclose."
