God forbade...must reading!

Logismoi




Logismoi is a Greek word that refers to false thoughts and desires that lead to sin and despair.



  They are subtle and relentless. Ancient writer John Climascus compared logismoi to maggot eggs that incubate in the soil of our fallenness.



  These logismoi are infernal counterparts to Scripture. They equip us for bad works. They make corrupt words and actions inevitable. They also make it difficult to meditate or reflect on Scripture.
