Longer post about this is being written (though likely never to be posted) but I just wanted to say this:
I cannot believe — I don’t know how to believe — in the concept of the Fallen world. It is giving up. It is absolving any responsibility of our choices and actions and beliefs. It is giving up the power of us, the power of grokking, the power of timshel, and the power and ability that was given to us by Him. There’s something to be said about those who seek out the tree of knowledge to eat from it and there’s something to be said about those who choose freely to become fishers of men. Don’t take that from them.
I believe in the Church, I believe in AMDG, I believe in Tuus Totus, and I also believe in Timshel. And they are not mutually exclusive. The Fallen World is an excuse and nothing more.
