In the biblical narrative, humanity passes through three states: (a) they were created in a state with potential for a greater state before the fall; (b) they now exist in a post-fall state where they are subjected to sin, and (c) they might reach a final state where they become glorified. It is clear that (c) is greater than (b) in that that glorified human beings regain what was lost in (a) and receive more. However, the movement from (a) and (b) to (c) raises a question for the divine conceptualist who says, regarding (a), that here God has created an instance of the ideal humanity that was eternally present in His mind. Specifically, we ask how Adam could have been created without defect, if it was always possible for him to reach the greater state of glorification? This paper will answer the question by suggesting that while Adam was created without defect, he was also created with potency from the beginning, thus allowing possibility for change. Such was God’s intent from the beginning: God intended for human beings to pass from one state of perfection to a higher state, while retaining their capacity for change. To support this claim, section one will consider the implications of divine conceptualism as they apply to God’s omniscience and the existence of forms. Section two will apply these findings to the various states occupied by humanity in the Biblical narrative. A conclusion will synthesize these considerations, showing how every existing thing can be perfect in itself and yet reach a higher state of perfection without becoming pure act. As such, the individual existence of material things is retained and completed without all things becoming one.
