Man and Sin by Piet Schoonenberg (1964) 2.3 UO
Sin-filled words blaspheme, self-justify, and express pride. Sin, illuminated in the mirror of the world, attracts. I am drawn to look into the mirror. Sin is glamorous and fashionable.

[My inability to escape my bondage refutes the common use of the term ‘free will’. I cannot change my path. I do the deeds that I do not want to do.
It seems as if my bondage2(1H)) becomes my disposition1H (in another intersection).]

[When words3H(2 are twisted by sin, bondage2(1H)) withers the heart2.
My heart fixates on the bondage that will kill me2H1H)).]

[A second co-opposition composes the vertical axis.
This is: Thought3V(2 and deed2(1V).
This vertical co-opposition intersects the horizontal co-oppositions of either responsibility3H(2 & freedom2(1H)) or words3H(2 & bondage2(1H)).
My heart2 is the single actuality that arises from the congruence of two co-oppositions.]

[Responsibility tends to exclude the normal context belonging to words, and visa versa.]

[Freedom and bondage are exclusively opposed even though they are both exercises of the heart2(1H).
What does this imply?
Since exclusion is a property of the realm of normal context, each of these terms co-oppose an independent normal context.
Freedom2(1H)) co-opposes responsibility3H(2.
Bondage2(1H)) co-opposes words3H(2.]

Schoonenberg joins the term “heart” with the terms “free” and “bondage”. The heart may be free or in bondage to sin, law or death.

[Ah, what about the prior models?
Free will is a term that belongs to both the intersections of ‘my heart2’ and ‘what is good and what is bad2’.
Free will associates to the potentials of each vertical axis, something that I may choose1V and conscience1V.
Similarly, free choice belongs to the single actuality of ‘my heart’2 and what is good and what is bad2.]
