About This Quote
How can we love the unseen God and hate the visible man? The invisible spirit is the true God and his power and wisdom and goodness and justice and mercy might be seen in creation. However, the visible man, seen by our eyes and understood by our minds, is a creation of the human mind. The visible man is a fallen creation who now serves as a place of temptation. We must remember that our bodies are not the real source of sin or the true source of evil.
Our bodies are made of bread, water, air, light, heat, and energy. In contrast, sinful acts do not come from these physical objects but from our thoughts about them. These acts do not come from outside of us but from inside of us.
