Knowing
what we know of the Gospel, is the continuation of the War in Heaven nothing
more than the continuation of the battle between agency and compulsion? We each have ideas on how best to operate a
political system, run a family, and live our personal life. But there really seems to be a general theme
that interferences with another’s agency is often far more serious than the
underlying sin that we might be seeking to correct in others.
We need
to be able to influence others in positive ways, but it must be influencing
that respects agency. If we are trying
to control the lives of those around us, then we are wrong even if we are right
as to the underlying merits of the issue.
