%SIN AND GOSPEL EXCLUSIVITY 771218
If sin is regarded (defined) as mankind's most basic
problem, then the gospel is regarded (defined) as
mankind's most ultimate solution. The perceived nature of
sin then occasions the nature of the gospel which is
chosen. The following word pairs suggest some of the many
possible pairs of natures for (sin, gospel): (lawlessness,
legalism), (inhibition, hedonism), (revolution,
conservatism), (uncertainty, authority), (ignorance,
knowledge), (social-instability, institutionalism), (evil-
desires, good-inhibitions), (exclusivity, inclusivity),
(imperfections, perfectionism), (frustrations,
indifference),(poverty, capitalism), (capitalism,
communism), (authoritarianism, experimentalism),
(unfulfilled goals, technocracy), (inconstancy,
discipline), (alienation, unconditional communication).
Each gospel presumes to be responsive to the
corresponding most basic human problem---yet, almost
without exception an exclusive dedication to each gospel
compounds the problem which it presumes to respond to. A
response to a problem which compounds the problem is not
"good news". No power in heaven or on earth can make it
be otherwise. Those who attempt to make it be otherwise
are violent people, deceiving both themselves and others,
sometimes mutually within collusions.
The gospel which both has and promotes integrity is
the good news that people can live in harmony working
together on their mutual most basic problems if only they
disavow exclusivity and excommunication as problem solving
techniques. The Gospel is the good news that exclusivity
and excommunication are not necessary for human
fulfillment---that ultimately they are counter-productive
techniques. Exclusive solutions to human problems by
nature use excommunication and thereby ultimately compound
the focal problems---even though the problem-solvers may
profit in the short term. No power in heaven or on earth
can truly bless exclusive problem-solvers in their work
within elite professions---for their methodology makes it
impossible for them to live in harmony with others working
together on their mutual most basic problem.
The Gospel is the good news that alienative
methodologies and technologies are not required of the
servants of the Gospel.
