“We are the children of God not by nature but by adoption” But our very nature is established in our ontological grounding of being created IN Christ (Col.1). Our fallenness doesn’t destroy this fundamental truth of our relationship to God as Father- IN the Son from the beginning. Our being “placed as sons” (mistranslated in my opinion as “adoption”) is the full realization of what we already are in as yet unrealized potential - Christ IN us is genuinely the sure and certain hope of Glory ❤️.
Ben's conclusion about finding a proper intent or desire reminds me of Jamie Smith's work.
We are what we desire.
Desire and Intent are the missing component of all AI. Yes, it can be imitated but its not the real thing.
