Summary of text [comment] page 83

[How is this seen in Scripture?

In the Old Testament, God chooses2b Abraham, revealing God’s desire1a and value1b.

Abraham, in response, chooses2b God, revealing his values1b.

Abraham desires1a God.

All the strange tests that Abraham faces (including circumcision and almost sacrificing his son) reveals and tests Abraham’s desire1a.]

[The exercise of the heart2a(1a)) is the general term for freedom2a(1a)) or bondage2a(1a)).

“Service” seems to go with my choice2b.

‘Either God or Satan’ associates with ‘the thought experiment3a’ as well as ‘the potential within each person to establish a set of different habits in response to the experiment3a’.

These different habits are like ‘the person talking back to the experiment2a’, where ‘the utterances of the whole person2a’ image or point to ‘something2a that the person desires’.

The thought experiment3a interpellates desire1a.]
