I believe that society is made up of men who seek power by control. And all idol worship has this threading environment. Otherwise the mindset of the kinds of hierarchy would be convincing one person who worships a different kind of god to agree with someone who is more powerful who worships at the altar of his particular god to be convinced that he is rite by a pragmatic paradigm. That is just foolish and separates passion and desire from the human experience. Because what ever people trust in carries the weight of love and hate. So that in the communities of these different paradigms of power struggle there is this environment of boundaries that have this threatening component. Such that Paul was preaching the gospel to people who made idols and who had the component of free market idealism. Take away their profits and you are immediately cast into a world of a war of words and systems of ideas that are structurally set for men to profit and control.
This is the nature of evil that exist in the world. We are involved in a holy war of what people trust in as what that kind of environment has as its norms in peoples minds. We see things that do not appear, we determine the abnormality of this intense hatred by being under the obligation to know and feel what is real in a world of the mixture of false assumptions that are under the surface as if we were in a war where pain was the means by which we are made to feel and act in a certain way. Yes, Christ does give us wisdom, not just in a war of the intellectual , but He has given us the power to determine for everyone, what is going to be the proper way of living in the world. In a sense , spiritually speaking, we are either crucified or we are a hermit. I hope that we are not the frog in the hot pan.
