@Plough end\ The gospel is not only concerned with the soul's interior state but with powers shaping perception itself. Those who cannot see how a total complex deforms their encounter with scripture read beautifully, obey sincerely, and yet remain, in the deepest sense, captured.

@liccltd @RyanHaecker I have never heard 1 John 3:8 invoked, a relative silence revealing religious occlusion and secular foreclosure of evil’s supernatural causality and phenomenological reality, and our place in it; in effect evading the recognition and concrete response the messianic event demands.
