Summary of text [comment] pages 24 & 25
Sin is against God and the world (as it participates in the history of salvation through God’s grace). Sin is against Christ. So the dynamic is a positive feedback where God’s grace flows more and more abundantly at the same time that sin drives more and more dramatically to the rejection of Christ.
The history of Israel shows precisely this dynamic.
Christ’s coming on Earth initiated a positive feedback that will bring forth the Antichrist as the embodiment of sin.
Does that mean that every sin categorically promotes the Antichrist?
No.
Sin is situational, even though it comes from the heart, the core of our personhood and freedom. Conditions are always a factor. But outer manifestations are signs of inner conscience and dispositions. Signs can both reveal and veil.
