[QUOTE="Schwarzwald, post: 66738, member: 544"] I think the 'Proximity' argument assumes we are losing something we want to keep. But if you look at it as 'House Rules,' the closer you get to God, the more your free will simply evolves into alignment. This is the heart of Theosis—the process of being restored and transformed. If you’re a guest who loves the Host, taking your shoes off isn't a loss of choice; it’s a natural response to being in a space you value. Proximity doesn't make disobedience 'impossible' through force; it makes it 'incoherent' because, through repentance and grace, your old desires are written off and your new ones are aligned with the Truth. You aren't losing your will; you're finally finding a reality where you actually want to be part of the Household. [/QUOTE]
