Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 1.4U2

For Schoonenberg, this much has unfolded:  The sin against the Holy Spirit draws the individual into extreme consequences [into an sovereigninfra religion that excludes thinkdivine] and bars ‘him’ from every path to salvation.

[Schoonenberg’s conclusion resonates with Zizek’s definition of “perversity”, as “one who transgresses (thinkdivine) while acting as an instrument of a thinkgroup“.

It also parallels Ted Peter’s 7 steps to radical evil, where the final state is blasphemy­3(cruelty2(1)).  Blasphemy3 is idolatry.  Idolatry elevates one’s thinkgroup into a thinkpro-object that eclipses thinkdivine.

Blasphemy3 contextualizes cruel action2.  Blasphemy3 brings cruelty2 into relation with “the possibilities inherent in self-justification(concupiscence())1”.

Self-justification3(concupiscence2(1)) parallels thinkgroup(sin(consciencelacking)).]
