Summary of text [comment] page 13.
Schoonenberg makes three points at this juncture.
Point1: John expresses the same ideas as Paul, but with greater emphasis on the end times. The choice is ultimately for or against Christ [as a human person embodying thinkdivine].
Point 2: John also wrote that “sin” hardens the sinner’s “heart” and the sinner ends up living a “hard” life (Note the combo sums to “hardened heart”).
Point 3: John claimed that no one is unaffected by a sinner’s transgression.
