Agape-LogosKrisis (Sorting / Decision / Crisis — Restorative Discernment)
EN — Transliteration: krísis
Designates a sorting, decision or medical/agricultural evaluation that separates the useful from the useless. Penal theology translated it as 'judgment' to make it a tribunal of condemnation and retributive punishment — a reading absent from the original.
Krisis (κρίσις) is not a tribunal of condemnation. It is a decisive sorting moment — like the crisis of an illness or the winnowing of grain — that separates in order to restore, not to punish.
