God can do whatever He wants.
Also, God can let men do what they want to do and be guided by the leaven they’ve swallowed.
Without episkopos I would not even know there is more that God is pleased to give us right now, in this life. Well…I would I guess, since I have entered His rest and mostly stayed there except for when I allow myself to be agitated and feel I must be DOING something rather than waiting and resting. But I think I would have, as usual, thought I was further along than I actually was. I have arrived at a good and blessed place but I have seen people arrive there and think it is the goal when it is not the goal but just a place nearer the goal and so they stop and stay there because it is pleasant after so many years of hard struggle. It’s a gift, but it is not HIM.
