General Law and the Law of God 4

An email I wrote:

The Work and Christianity (I mean especially
Christianity) is such a mystical teaching. And I'm
using the term 'mystical' in a general sense meaning,
just, very much more than what can be seen in the suit
and tie of a respected pastor of a large church in
your town.

My last posts on my '+' blog (General Law and Law of
God) get at this at a deep level. This subject of the
law and the gospel is at the center of biblical
revelation, and yet it is still a nebulous thing in
the understanding of the most on-the-mark theologians
and Christians in general. Because it is deeply
mystical. God's Plan is deeply mystical. Mystery.
It can be seen, but once you truly begin to see it you
see it is not something a mainstream understanding
will grasp in full.

Really, starting with the mystery of the Trinity, the
3-in-1 Godhead, Christianity is a mystical body of
knowledge (or reality itself, actually). But in that
the entire Plan of God is to get you to develop
top-down (which is a very mystical thing) and so
everything is very anti-intuitive and an assault on
'logic' and worldly understanding and so on, in this
too you can see how mystical the Faith once delivered
to all saints is.

That Dathenus book (Pearl of Christian Comfort) I
recommend is very big for understanding the core of
not only the Christian, biblical teaching, but for
seeing how the Work IS that teaching at the practical
level.

I say this particularly to point out that there are
great mysteries here. You can rest in the arms of
everyday life, which is OK. Really, that is OK. It
is there as 'some'thing, afterall. But just know when
you venture into the true territory of Work and
biblical Christianity you venture into deep mystery.
A very mystical realm.

That insight I wrote out about the General Law being
God's Law (God's Law perverted by the condition and
mind and heart of fallen man in the mass
)
I don't
think the Holy Spirit gives up so easily. I may be
venturing farther than others care or can go at the
moment, which is understood. I don't mind silence and
no feedback when that is the reason. I'll get
understanding of these things, and if there are any
others who want or are able to pick it up from me
later then OK, if not then it will have been done for
my own development alone, and those connected to me in
time, in the recurrence sense of that.

Right now I'm getting back into areas of Work I've
been out of for awhile. My situation has changed, and
I'm kind of back in a me vs. the world cauldron, which
I have to use or it uses me...
