@sympractical I’m not aware of this story. It is very instructive. Good example of the perils of technical knowledge at expense of spiritual insight.

@wendt_over @laethcore This is especially true when you understand the imagination to be the organ of meaning. For a sound theologian it wont just be imagination but reason too. But for that which is supra-rational imagination wins out again I think. Waters above and below.

In the garden Adam and Eve were meant to enjoy the influence of the TKGB by not eating from it.

@laethcore There’s some truth to it, but I don’t think it’s quite right. Sorry If my liking and unliking it spammed your notifications. Kept waffling on it

@elladorn_ @ObhishekSaha @fred_beretta Speaks volumes I was able to read all your tweets in this thread but couldn’t bring myself to suffer through his extended responses. One represents clear thinking. One is puffed up to look like thinking.

Wrinkly irony
Old curmudgeon
Suffering
Time’s possession.

Abraham! Abraham!

@gagemurphy777 @sympractical @laethcore Lewis, or at least Lewis’s Digory Kirke, seems to think it is the case. For when they discover the more substantial world behind Narnia he remarks that it is all in Plato.

@sympractical @laethcore Things are interpreted according to what they are not whatever they’re supposed to mean.

[Dal @DallasBHartmann]

@sympractical @laethcore Thats an example of the differences between reading something “symbolically” versus “allegorically”.

Whether Plato meant it “allegorically” I don’t know (that’s a question for historians and might be undecidable) but I don’t think the story means what many take it to mean.

Not cutting your hair is about not looking in the mirror.

I’m seeing many implications in this.

[Dal @DallasBHartmann]

@philo_hawk And redemption. Abel’s blood cries out from the ground.

Overlooking does not mean ignoring and can mean overseeing or to supervise and by extension to care for. It about covering the facts in the process of time.

[Dal @DallasBHartmann]

@douglaswils @MrBully67 The authority of the written word has the tendency to give authority to them gifted/trained in the word. When the Word came he taught not as a scribe but as one that had authority. Look for a man who comes in the name of the Lord, let him only speak in truth and humility.

[Dal @DallasBHartmann]

@sympractical Little yin-yang action. Very “time-y” thinking. Everything secretly implies it’s opposite.

It’s tough to cover everything.

@annielcrawford “Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is liberty.”

I find you to be well within your liberty (while I have not seen the video yet, I perceive that you are yet alive in the Spirt, if I be not overbold, judging by your countenance).

[Dal @DallasBHartmann]

@annielcrawford I think we may be permitted to sit under the shadow of a tree and read De rerum natura, if only as a fiction, should we fancy it or whatever else we like, in the kingdom of God.

@PLeithart The church of the Lamb of God

[Dal @DallasBHartmann]

@annielcrawford All of Rob Gardner’s “Lamb of God” but especially “Hosanna” (it really brings alive the spirit of the triumphal entry for me).

@PLeithart Reminds me of the money and cup Joseph had placed in the sacks of grain to trap his brothers. However, in this case, though initially regarded as a curse, they are eventually received as a blessing once the brothers have proved themselves and Joseph, in turn, reveals himself.
