Thoughts on Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 1.3B

Summary of text [comment] page 17

Schoonenberg added, that in Scripture, the concept of “the heart” as “the origin of sin” matured.   Both the story of the sin in paradise (Genesis 3) and Job (31) portray sinful thoughts and desires.

Sinful thoughts and wishes are the first steps towards sinful actions.

[To me, Schoonenberg, writing solely in verse, ranges over distinctions that appear in bold in the intersecting nested forms.

“Thoughts and wishes” mark the “conscience and dispositions”.

Without consciencelacking, sin cannot situate the dispositions.]
