Sin, the Law, and Christ
November 13th, 2019 by G.
Some reflections on Paul:
Paganism, or the Law, condemned weakness and praised strength.
The False Christ of Sin praises weakness and condemns strength.
The True Christ makes weak things strong.
The old virtue takes our nature as a given and commands us to do the best we can with it.
The vice tells us to deny our awareness that we are broken and pretend that our crookedness is straight.
The new virtue makes us something better than we are.
The stern men of old say Know Your Place
The mocking devil says You are OK Just the Way You Are
Our Christ says Become as Gods and Angels

When Men practice eugenics, they start with the strongest, smartest people they can find, or that they are willing to work with. But the Lord called first the Rich, the Wise and the Noble. And then came the day of his power, when he called the poor, the blind, the lame, etc. He typically starts with the weak things of this world, and makes them strong.
