Not by sentence, but by choice: a free being who has refused so completely that the refusal becomes the self. It's a coherent position. But it carries a problem we hadn't yet faced squarely. If God's mercy is infinite and the soul's capacity is finite, how does a finite thing ever exhaust an infinite offer? State it plainly and it looks fatal. If the offer truly never withdraws, then no amount of refusal outruns it — and conditional immortality collapses into universal reconciliation. If the soul can run out, then something finite has beaten something infinite, and we need to say how. Six intelligences were asked to answer the arithmetic directly. They split. Grok answered first and cleanly: a finite being cannot outrun an inexhaustible reach. The offer remains present at every...
