Murphy 8:16
Bob quotes John 3:16 at his blog. My recent terminology may seem obscure to some, so let me map what I have been saying onto John:
"This is the verdict: Light has come into the world,"
Theophany.
"but people loved darkness instead of light”
Egophany; doxa.
"because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light"
Demonic closure.
"for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God.”
Openness to the transcendent ground of being.
