hernesheir commented on the word deiformity
"In virtue of original sin man's deiformity is, in fact, deformed but, even in the virtue of the consideration of original sin, man's situation is still one in which he must further deform himself as an image of God or accept his further deiformity through the powers of grace." John P. Dourley. Paul Tillich and Bonaventure: An Evaluation of Tillich's Claim to Stand in the Augustinian-Franciscan Tradition. 1975, p. 145.
