Spiritual Warfare

Satan led us in a challenge of God. We have a high calling to be lords in the creation, and a high nature of being made in the image of God. These have been the occasion (though not cause) of our fall. We desired to have independent knowledge of good and evil.

In so doing, we lost our true home. Fear and accusation, jealousy and violence followed, and then, the fortification of this in Babel. Behind the visible conflicts of this world lie these dynamics. In the attempt to play the great man, we have become piffling.
