@BowsacNoodle @bobbala @Deplorable_Degenerate @STP @Twig @c00p @inscius @Bunsen @Thusnelda It’s pretty clear to me; Man in general experiences the Grace of God because sin makes God’s Uncreated Energies all the more obvious.
Assume somehow Man never sinned; this doesn’t somehow change God into merciless; He is as He Is and has always been, independently of what Man ever did.
But Salvation is an outflowing expression of God’s Essence (itself beyond comprehension) *through* His Energies - which can be known vis-a-vis Union with Him in Faith.
In my eyes that more firmly cements the reality of God’s Immutability; He continues ever to pour Himself out on our behalf.
