Remember, God has other attributes besides Omnipotence, like Holiness.
God cannot fellowship with sin in the intimate way He desires to fellowship
with man.  Once we accept the gift of salvation, which removes the sin, then
God can fellowship with us.  

Please remember all of God's attributes.  Don't point at one and say that God
must do this because He has this attribute.
