I don't think explaining a mystery is possible.
I think a lot of this thread is made up of disagreements by folks who are trying to explain a mystery. Some things, we just don't have adequate knowledge. Doesn't mean discussing them is wholly unprofitable. But we should hold back on hurling charges of heresy at folks for simply disagreeing with our understanding of what is essentially not fully explained in Scripture.

Mutatis mutandis , like of course I personally would add "or by the Church", I would agree.

But, golly darn, how are we going to have fun if we don't call each other horrible things and generally "rejoice in the evil"? Rejoicing in the good is just so, y'know, BORing!

I left my sarcasm tag in my other pants.
