The poets saw the worse stages of civilization like this even when the first signs of recovery and light appear.
'The Second Coming' Turning and turning in the widening gyre The falcon cannot hear the falconer; Things fall apart; the centre cannot hold; Mere anarchy is loosed upon the world, The blood-dimmed tide is loosed, and everywhere The ceremony of innocence is drowned; The best lack all conviction, while the worst Are full of passionate intensity. Yeats The genuine Christian would understand that the descriptive elements found in the Johannine works of the Bible for the future are much the same as for anyone who exercises their intelligence rather than the common view that terrible events will happen come what may. Convictions driven by intellectual pretense can be more harmful that those driven by physical force and watching the explosive development of Christianity must have conditioned the Johannine group to write as they did when they seen so many variants of Christianity emerge. Denominational Christianity doesn't have anywhere to go until it rejoins with the physical sciences it jettisoned centuries ago around the time of stretching from Copernicus to Galileo thereby easing the overheated convictions which seemingly divide science from religion. In truth all creation is inspiring/ spiritual as Christ himself acknowledged so outside individual adversity we can discover a heaven within ourselves. It is not about being ultra technical or ultra spiritual that wins out but a combination of both for who can participate in the necessary adjustments and modifications to the works of the original heliocentric astronomers with all the visual tools at our disposal ?. |
