- Maybe some kind of profound healing — something that rapidly rearranges someone's priorities so that truth is dramatically closer to the top
- There's also the literal sense in which Jesus "paid our debts," but in Matthew 5:18 he says "till heaven and earth pass away, not one jot or one tittle shall in any wise pass from the law till all be fulfilled." To me it sounds like Jesus *paid* our debts, not simply erased them. Also, Christians are not exempt from epistemic debt, so there must be some aspect of it which Jesus did *not* pay — or that his paying requires participation on our part to receive, and therefore each Christian receives it to different degrees.
I like this term. What would epistemic bankruptcy of jubilee be then?
Like, epistemic debt getting suddenly wiped out?
