sure enjoy getting to know you thru your writing Ken; a dear difficult brother has a line I like..’one good question is worth a million answers’. Your writing reflects such.
All of us have our learning curves which translates for me as we all learn and experience revelation spiritually on different scales. So often for me the subtle prompting of Jesus’ words usher in a private A ha moment as I realize the tension you describe is an inside one, usually at a point I am still moving out from under..I re read a favorite verse recently that fits what you are touching on. Hosea 2:14-21. (The whole chapter is good) but it’s where Jesus’ heart enters where the back n white mentality reigns inside.
I have been observing my human tendencies of reverting to logic (the fruit of the knowledge of good & evil) instead of that of the Spirit when it comes to discernment. It brings me to this thought that perhaps Adam’s ‘sin’ was his choosing to rely on his own understanding instead of that of unwavering trust face to face. (do you think this came as a surprise to the Lord?)
Others may not comment bro but they chew on your insights… esta mui bien!!
