Sermon: The Scripture that Kills Versus the Spirit of Life
Monday Jul 29, 2024
Monday Jul 29, 2024
In 2 Corinthians Paul describes the letter or scripture as deadly, as this unenduring reality is not an end in itself. Absolutizing the symbolic order in law or in some form of moral imperative leads directly to evil, not because this is a possible reality but because it obscures the truth that freedom comes from God and there is no autonomous realm of law, nature, reason, or will.
