Changes

God loves the sinner and hates the sin: such a [[statement]] is true philosophically, but God is a [[transcendent]] [[personality]], and persons can only love and hate other persons. Sin is not a person. God loves the sinner because he is a personality [[reality]] ([[potentially]] eternal), while towards sin God strikes no personal [[attitude]], for sin is not a spiritual reality; it is not personal; therefore does only the [[justice]] of God take cognizance of its [[existence]]. The love of God saves the sinner; the ''<u>law of God</u>'' destroys the sin. This attitude of the divine nature would apparently [[change]] if the sinner finally identified himself wholly with sin just as the same [[mortal]] [[mind]] may also fully identify itself with the [[Thought Adjuster|indwelling spirit Adjuster]]. Such a sin-identified mortal would then become wholly unspiritual in nature (and therefore personally unreal) and would experience eventual [[Death|extinction]] of [[being]]. Unreality, even incompleteness of [[creature]] nature, cannot exist forever in a [[progressively]] real and increasingly spiritual universe.- [[2:6|2:6.8]]

The divine omnipotence is perfectly co-ordinated with the other attributes of the [[personality]] of God. The power of God is, ordinarily, only limited in its universe spiritual [[manifestation]] by three conditions or situations:
