Truth is bippy, I stood on pretty shaky ground (certainly debatable) as He is... He is... that is His "essence" if you will is separate from His "energies" that can, obviously occupy the same space as sin. God wrestled Jacob, Moses was in His presence at the burning bush, Satan in His presence during the Job story ... there are of course more. The Lord, as a human being can be excused as He took on the physical attributes
only to be among us... Christ was sinless, but He endured the sins of the world ... soooo ...
The essence of God (thinking in the lines of Father son and Holy Spirit
all in One) can be divided from His universe and is the element that cannot, will not abide sin. All that being said, it comes down to faith and the individual's ability to tolerate certain tenants regarding the "make-up" of God. This is the very reason I believe Mary to be sinless. Her soul created by God specifically for the birth of Christ. God would not, could not be able to exist in an abode where he was encased, nourished and satiated by physical life's requirements to survive in the womb analogous to sin... just couldn't happen. Christ cannot be sinless in the flesh if He came from sinful flesh. His essence is the life blood of our salvation and that essence, the most pure God-like quality of He Who Is requires the perfection He requires of us to gain heaven... His true abode.
Very confusing but, for me, all loose ends tie up very succinctly knowing He is able to do this just as He is able the be simultaneously three in One.
So many of the NDE's tell of the perfection of where they were.. ease of thought, ease of movement ... coming back to this world was like wading through molasses in comparison ... These events are more climatic than just life after death. They are, by definition, the reality of the unknown after death that seems perfect.
Can't wait !
