2:6.8 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 law of God 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 indwelling spirit Adjuster. Such a sin-identified mortal would then become wholly unspiritual in nature (and therefore personally unreal) and would experience eventual extinction of being. Unreality, even incompleteness of creature nature, cannot exist forever in a progressingly real and increasingly spiritual universe.

Good morning, Lord, I wonder what
This day will hold before it’s shot.
I will do the best I can
To spread more Love throughout Your land.
Can we govern ourselves or not?
Hold together through all the rot?
Will wisdom win political games
Or power and money, drive us insane?
We all must look into our hearts
Then use our minds, and do our parts.
Trust the Love of God to show
The way that’s best for us to go.
Be ready to react to change.
We must adapt when times seem strange.
The Plan of God will manifest.
To Trust in Love’s the path that’s best!
Things will go as best they can.
Love Will spread throughout our land.
Times involved; it’s made of sand.
This sand flows in every man.
Patience, patience, time won’t rest.
It goes on, so do your best.
We will decide upon our course.
Will we be kind, and not use force?
Thank You, Father, for Your plan.
Love will spread throughout our land.
Peace will reign throughout this world.
The Love of God will be unfurled.
Paul Anderson
