With their fraudulent lawsuit, guilty consciences and the tangled knowledge that a fair court (e.g., before God Himself) could easily still send them straight to Sheol (that underground tunnel system), they're playing out something very biblical and would gladly lay aside every encumbrance and sin they committed, if they could. They'd give back a $148M judgment from a corrupt court...if they could!
"Therefore, since we have so great a cloud of witnesses surrounding us, let us also lay aside every encumbrance and the sin which so easily entangles us, and let us run with endurance the race that is set before us." --Heb. 12:1 NASB
