pronoun problems
The passage below comes from ‘THE BLANK SLATE.’
In the underlined sentence four pronouns are pretty complicating. I figured out what it refers to as I think it does. (In a restrict sense the fifth phrase, ‘the outside world’ cannot be seen as a pronoun problem and I know this site has a rule that requires one thread ask one question, but in a broad one I think it can be seen as the counterpart(referring to opposite) of ‘the mind’.
http://evolbiol.ru/blankslate/blankslate.htm The mind is made up of several components, including a moral sense, an ability to love, a capacity for reason that recognizes whether an act conforms to ideals of goodness, and a decision faculty that chooses how to behave. Although the decision faculty is not bound by the laws of cause and effect, it has an innate tendency to choose sin.
Our cognitive and perceptual faculties work accurately because God implanted ideals in ?
them ?
that correspond to reality and because ?
he coordinates ?
their functioning with ?
the outside world. Mental health comes from recognizing God's purpose, choosing good and repenting sin, and loving God and one's fellow humans for God's sake.
?them = Our cognitive and perceptual faculties
?that = ideals
?he = God
?their = ideals
?the outside world ; the author used ‘this phrase(the outside world)’ as the opposite of ‘the mind’
Thanks in advance.
