Thank you, that’s a typo. I meant to say that the foolish never had oil. Oil is widely available. I think the foolish weren’t born again believers, they were those who were Christian in name only.

I think there’s a argument to be made that it could mean this. I personally don’t subscribe to it because it causes a pursuit of God out of fear, and creates a very legalistic walk for me. Maybe that’s the trauma of the recovery talking, but I tend to reject a lot of doctrine that causes such feeling in me.
