Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.3 AF-1

Summary of text [comment] page 80

Schoonenberg claimed that actions are always more than their external manifestations. They are more than their limited content.

Each external manifestation passes away, but not completely. A long lasting disposition or attitude remains.

After murder, hatred lingers. After impurity, egoistic desire agitates.

[How to say this in terms of nested forms?

Consider the intersection describing the message underlying the word ‘religion’.

The intersection of two nested forms yields a single actuality: What is virtue and what is sin.

This single actuality is the fusion of two: human action and human thoughts.

Human acts and human thoughts are always contextualized by justifications (thinkgroup_or_divine) and admissions (lawaccept_or_deny). Human acts always situate both conscience and dispositions.]
