RT @nick_routledge: @ShaneClaiborne Ask in vain, brother. Meanwhile, "the transcendent breaking-in of eternity that plunges all human history into its final crisis" (Moltmann) connotes a crisis only insofar as Christus Victor heralds total planetary liberation from a maniacal catastrophe of religio-political evil.

Copy of tweet and quote tweet here: The Kingdom, like a thief in the night. What happens to our world when the precarious order of false transcendence imposed by the political mechanism ceases to function? Rohr: “The True Sacred, which is synonymous with the Reign of God, unmasks and relativizes the false sacred." In terms of truly planetary fundamentals, 'American democracy' in 2024 offers what? A choice for genocide: radical evil. Our alternative to the demonic complex, then? Religion? Loisy: "Jesus announced the Kingdom and it was the Church that arrived." The Kingdom, then. What is it?
@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.
