All PxOS S/A's Read This Again:
: I think the most obvious answer is that each individual is like a software program that has yet to be upgraded. We were created for Human OS, which is now incorpoarted into Christ OS, but we cannot enjoy all the benefits of the new OS until we are upgraded.
: Going from Mac OS 9.1 to OS X would require that an application be "carbonized." Then, it could run in the OS X environment, incoproate the interface, and benefit from the stability and versatility of the new OS.
: Although I have no real understanding of the technical aspects of carbonization, I know what it does, and the analogy applies quite well to faith--even baptism. Carbonization configures the software to work with the new OS, just as baptism (including baptism of desire) configures the soul to receive the graces merited the race by Christ.
: Even after this configuration, however, there must be transformation, as the old coding is over-written by the new. This is the spiritual journey, which has been described in various ways through the ages.
: We're living in a world where the transformation from the Human
OS to Christ OS is still underway. Therefore, we still see the nasty
effects of the sin virus affecting our individual software programs,
and we also see them being transformed. Saints and sinners, living
side by side--even in the same psyche! Such is the situation during
this time in history.

Philo, you out-did yourself this time. This is a GREAT answer and a very intuitively appealing analogy. I'm going to give this some more thought and maybe can respond substantively later.
I strongly encourage everyone to ponder this new explication of the PxOS paradigm. I anxiously await what others of you have to say here. Anyone? johnboy, Ivan, Teresita?
BTW, this does resolve the justification-sanctification process problem I was trying to set forth with my PsOX versions and releases. I see now that the operating system is there; it is freeware; it is totally scalable; it is totally integrated and integratable. Again, good job Philo!
merci,
Woody
