: If it were perfectly realized, as in perfect union, then there could be no sin, for there would be no will to use in opposition to God's.

: But since perfect realization/union is very rarely realized, then sin is a possibility even for great saints.

Thanks Phil.

I'm thinking of St. John, "Whoever is a child of God does not sin, because God's very nature is in him; and because God is his Father, he cannot sin." (1 John 3:9) (Marion's book, p. 233)
There's an entire chapter in Marion's book about the problem of good and evil with a lot of talk about the end of sin. It's bringing up a lot
of questions for me.

Thanks for your response.

Peace.

Diana
