Of course there is. Your experiences and maturity can be limited to good deeds. We don’t need to do evil in order to know good, we don’t need to taste bitter to enjoy sweet, we don’t need to experience poverty to know riches, we don’t need to feel pain in order to enjoy pleasure, we don’t need to be immoral, in order to know morality, we don’t need to do evil in order to know good.
Allow me to rephrase Ken's question because I'm curious if you have the same answer.
Well that didn't answer my question at all. Did you notice the key difference between Ken's and my phrasing?
Doing it without evil influence allows people to freely choose also. Again; you don't need to do evil to know good
That's interesting. Most Christians think God is timeless and has always been perfectly good. So God has done evil in the past?
That's not what I said. I'm saying if our actions are not evil, that still will not prevent us from maturing. IOW if Jesus can mature without committing an evil act, evil actions are not necessary
I dunno. Maybe the point of life experience to enjoy it? And sure, morality wise there are better ways to enjoy life than others.
Okay, so now we're back in line with what most Christians say. God didn't need to mature to become whole, so maturing isn't a requirement for being whole. One can just be whole and be mature, yes?
