But how do you get people to agree on which tensions are unresolved?<br /><br />As for the Hebrew worldview not having a binary process, that's for someone better read than us to comment on. <br /><br />All I can say is that the Pharisees and the breathing-murderous-threats Saul seemed to be pretty binary. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11660964184560606566noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-21240341.post-49172288299992469422011-03-15T11:05:05.955-04:002011-03-15T11:05:05.955-04:00Steve -

He made an interesting comment, the essence of which I'd already encountered through some other friends much smarter than I am.<br /><br />He essentially said that we need to learn how to live with unresolved biblical tensions. Our western mindset tries to process everything through the either/or binary when the Hebrew worldview doesn't necessarily do that.<br /><br />Example - in Revelation, there is "the new Jerusalem", the city of God where he dwells with his redeemed people in the new creation (which is bigger than the city, apparently).<br /><br />There are also people outside the city (result of judgment). And the city gates? They stay open. <br /><br />Meaning what, exactly? I have no idea but I think I need to be okay with that.Kevinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12425202517209891181noreply@blogger.com
