About this episode
We live in a therapeutic age, an age that has declared war on guilt. To the modern mind, guilt is not an objective state of affairs but rather a subjective, unhealthy feeling. It is a complex to be managed, a trauma to be processed, a neurosis to be medicated. The goal is not to be righteous, but to feel good about yourself. The world tells you that your intentions are what matter. If you were unaware of the rule, then you cannot be held accountable for breaking it. It is a rebellion against the very grammar of reality as God has established it. Guilt is not a feeling in your gut; it is a fact in God's ledger. It is a legal debt incurred before the throne of the universe. Your feelings on the matter are entirely irrelevant to the objective reality of your guilt.
