Total Depravity?

This is a topic which I am hoping to address in the Search for Answers ministry on Sunday.

In a preliminary communication to the SfA, I am claiming that the doctrine amongst fundamentalist Christians that the wages of depravity are eternal damnation is the single most depraved doctrine within Christendom.

But, to paraphrase Paschal Mass, felix-depravus.

Yes, I am claiming that the greatest sin of Christendom will have a similar outcome to what some claim to have been the greatest sin of Judaism.

(I inadvertently erased a couple of sentences, which I am now struggling to reconstruct....)

In order to understand this dire situation, that is shared within both Christendom and Islam, we must go to the Source. The Source is the cosmic Monad, as particularly captured within the notion of penentheism.

Then we only need to understand why pantheism became an anthema within the prophetic tradition.

The answer is that we don't really know, but we can speculate, nonetheless.

Part of the answer is that pantheism got a bad rap from the pantheists who essentially equated it with (bad) karma, also for obscure reasons.

What I am leading up to here is an extension of the Tower of Babel 'myth', which, like most other 'myths', was not a myth at all. It was, in fact, a deep truth conveniently disguised as a myth.

Perhaps the gnostics have come closest to penetrating the myth of Babel........

There was the great fall, and all the king's horses and all the king's men are still struggling to put Humpty back together again. Then along comes chicken little and his MoAPS. The knowledge explosion is, in the blink of an eye, rendered a knowledge implosion, via the magic of the coherence theory of truth (CohTT).

Putting the cosmic Monad/Egg together again will not be easy. My posit is the BPWH/SWH. I am optimistic that this effort will suffice unto the day, and possibly garner the necessary 4M/K/SoT/X2 designation.

But, yes, the rather silly notion of Total Depravity could become an improtant, strategic launching pad.

Felix-depravus!
