Let's say we were born in this option. How would we know otherwise? It's like eve and the apple. Once eaten she was able to tell they were naked. Basically implying that they were ignorant of their own nature. If we had no ability to appreciate wouldn't that be the same has not knowing?
The one thing I struggle with is what's the point of free will? The only explanation I have is. It's an experiment to see what happens. Other than that I don't see why we couldn't start off with goodness and stay that way. Basically everywhere I go to research this. It always comes down to. "It had to be this way" but they never explain why
So if eve never ate the apple would that be considered slavery? Because I'm the past there have been slaves who don't even know they are slaves because of the nature of the situation. That's all they knew. So if eve never ate the apple wouldn't that be slavery because God kept them ignorant before the apple?
Why don't even already have eternal life from the get go? Why were we created in the first place? The more I look into it, it seems like pyshical life is just the tutorial level and the after life is where life actually begins.
And then someone goes. "Don't lean on your own understanding, lean onto God". But we have to understand some things in order to function at life so are we not allowed to understand why we were created in the first place?
I definitely believe there is a god. I know we are in a fight of good and evil. But sometimes this circular logic gets to me.
So your saying love and joy is only worth it if there is pain and suffering?
