Divine-Attribute-Balance Doctrine
The doctrine that the Divine Will is the intradivine regulatory principle that holds each of God’s attributes in right proportion, preventing each from distorting into its extreme: “My Will is the balance of my attributes. If my Power did not have this Holy Will, it would turn into tyranny… my Wisdom would not manifest so much art and mastery… Our Beauty would be faded… Mercy would turn into weakness” — so that the Divine Will is not merely one attribute alongside Power, Wisdom, Beauty, and Mercy but the inner norm that preserves each in its proper character and maintains the divine coherence.
