Announcement: I'll be teaching an online class on Early Jewish and Christian Apocalypticism/End Times Theology this fall, starting Aug 13. Open to all!
@UntoldFortune Only beautiful from the perspective of Apokatastasis and a scandalously particular love for all God’s children such that each is legit his favorite.
@johnmilbank3 I always shake my head when someone tries to use the logic of the Drake Equation to insist life statistically must exist elsewhere when, from a scientific perspective, we don't even know what life is or why it began.
An effective rhetorical beat when discussing Apokatastasis with your reformed friends is to ask them why your salvation universalism is so offensive compared to their sin universalism as is God's sovereign choice to save all.
@UntoldFortune Why did he fall into heresies? Truly curious how he could develop his more abhorrent ideas. Was it a fatal flaw present in his earlier thinking, an issue of virtue, life wearing him down, vestiges of Manichaeism’s cynicism?

@UntoldFortune This is how I’ve always seen the Harrowing. Glad to have a
higher authority to lean on. And one more reason to subscribe to Apokatastasis.
@BottleBell During a year of intense suffering and disregulation due to immune system malfunction, I went from having a lifelong dislike of rose to drinking these every day and enjoying them. Lifesaver.
