*DEBT AND REPAYMENT* Tit for Tat

*I owe you/ you owe me*DEBT AND REPAYMENT* Tit for Tat —- this system of thinking and acting is based in legalism. Legalism is what you find in any religious or secular system that demands ‘justice’ for an infraction that was done to you. The problem of *debt and repayment* leads us to a few things, but namely this question: what ‘agreement’ in the ‘justice’ of humankind requires violations against their brother or sister (rioting, vandalism, murder, theft, rape) ?! –Well, doesn’t that requirement (anarchy) require a requirement (retributive anarchy answering to your anarchy)? ///// These are the DAYS where we are pushed to see the value of the CHRIST figure in Jesus. If He was God, is God, in a humble human despised sense while on earth, having been murdered for the sake of all the injustice of the world….and did NOT act back in retribution or retaliation,…but….BUT….FORGAVE ALL!!! … Who should we apologize to?! Should we at all apologize to man or GOD?! By what net worth do we hold to even have the bank to apologize?!! — or, are we in too much debt in ALL OF OUR INFRACTIONS/SINS? … In the narration, the story, the Gospel, ..Jesus, while dying on the cross for us, said to His Father, “Father, forgive ALL of them, for THEY know not what they do”. Luke 23:34. Jesus was referring to the rapacious Roman soldiers and the Pharasees. He didn’t require debt and repayment–i.e., RETRIBUTION… seriously, ready?—***an apology*** He gave forgiveness FREELY. THIS IS WHAT WE SHOULD DO! –***FORGIVE*** STOP USING DEBT AND REPAYMENT TERMINOLOGY!!! Legalism leads to the ignorant war machine. Both kill.
Whether or not you believe that the Gospels accounted for Christ in Human form or not…the eternal TRUTH remains in what is RIGHT IN YOUR FACE… Grace or Retribution? — We will continue, eternally, in one or the other

Dispensation Fallacies

The primary fallacies of dispensationalism come into sharp focus when examined through the Hebrew and Greek New Testament. Dispensationalism rests on three main pillars: segmented dispensations tied to οἰκονομία (oikonomia – from οἶκος “house” + νόμος “law,” literally “house-law” or “administration”; from Proto-Indo-European *weyḱ- “clan, household” and *nem- “to assign, allot”), the term αἰών (aiōn – “age, era, long but finite period”; from Proto-Indo-European *h₂eyu- “vital force, life, eternity,” the same root that gives us Latin aevum and English “ever”), a rigid Israel-church distinction, and a hyper-literal approach to prophecy that prioritizes future compartments over fulfillment in Christ. All three pillars collapse under careful lexical and contextual analysis of the original texts.

Jungian Individuation’s Failure Against Classicism Through MacDonald and Lewis

Shadow and Redeemer in Lilith sit at the heart of MacDonald’s theology. Lilith is not merely evil; she is the primal rebel whose refusal to submit mirrors the human soul’s pride. Yet MacDonald redeems her. In Chapter 29 she finally drinks the water of life and is restored, becoming the vehicle through which Adam’s first wife is brought back into the family of God. The Shadow that pursues Vane is the dark double of self-will, but it too is ultimately dissolved in the same waters. Redemption is universal because the numinous pull of divine beauty finally overcomes every shadow.
