Anyone wondering this *does* need to embark on the Flynn Scripture Challenge because to allow corruption is literally God's modus operandi at least half the time. Let me sing you a song about my vineyard; I went on a sabbatical and at harvest time sent messengers to ask the tenants for the produce, but instead they beat the stuffin' out of my servants, and finally I sent my son *knowing full well that they would kill him* (given that his son says repeatedly to his son's closest friends "the Son of Man must be handed over &c."). God is (by the standards of the world) either insane or an idiot, and we *have* to internalize this basic fact because when (if) we are taken up into the internal life of the Trinity it is as members of the *Son* and so we should take a good hard look at how upside-down his life is from what we would consider success.
