A battery for an electric car is run through all kinds of tests from Duluth winters to Death Valley summers. The battery that can pass all these tests won’t be the one with the best efficiency but the one that can survive every test case. Efficiency suffers for the sake of being able to handle every test case. I look at Christianity and see a religion designed for the majority’s experience that breaks on certain cases. For example, it is assumed that your experience of God won’t turn against you and somehow you’ll look back on your life and it will make sense. There is also this idea that Christians will be gracious. If we were to rewrite Christianity to accommodate every test case would it be so hollow nobody would touch it (out with prosperity, experience of God, assumption of grace/hospitality, etc..)?
