@BrianZahnd Ever wonder if Jesus felt like a broken record? If what you mean by 'here' is the thin veneer of reality denoting the demonic complex, I'm with you. Besides, Jesus never described the Kingdom as a heavenly futurity. C'mon. Let's get actualized. What is found here is found now.

Copy of tweet here: The Messiah didn't say, "Blessed are the peace-lovers." He said "peacemakers." A teleology of Being, then? The Kingdom-Paradise of the Heaven of Earth, with a homemaker's address. Only the Kingdom gives access to Paradise but only Paradise renders the Kingdom fully concretized.
@TimMiddleton1 @SST_Theology @calebwgordon Thoughts? Hervieu-Lèger and Orsi argue the study of 'lived religion' key to illuminating 'theology for Real.' Given that the incarnational dynamism of new world creation, in practice, gives rise to no less than a New Reality, perhaps broaden the ontological terms of engagement?

Copy of tweet hereL Be fab if some folk had dirt under their nails. Deep incarnation is integral ecology in dynamic practice, after all; growing from and entangled with the Earth; not a concept, but a co-evolutionary intelligence, power and teleology manifesting only as it's co-creatively inhabited. Telling, the reinhabitory foodshed movement and New Creation theology providentially stumbling upon a common 'Adamaic' tongue. An example? Regenerative designers will describe the 'resurrective ontology' of 'applied diversity' in dynamic practice and effect as 'deep incarnation'. Quote tweet: Why and how is the ASN Seed Increase Initiative wedding highly-diverse, deliberately architected, food-crop genepools to neighborhood-level social networks, in the seamless, positively-intensifying mutualism of a single, synergistic, unitive ecology?

Fruit culture, then, transcends empires, epistemologies, eras - and theologies, too. Perhaps trees, steadfast in their giving, silent as stones, are closer than us to immortality? t.co/Pn0wSB57H9 t.co/7OtYk4bWT3
