So we were set up, doom to fail?We were not intended to stay in paradise.
That would fit in this world yes, but not in the Kingdom.Another thought: Isn't the cycle of life and rebirth a type of Christ's life and resurrection
No. God's providence and man's freewill are both true.So we were set up, doom to fail?
The Kingdom is centered around the 'Lamb that was slain'.That would fit in this world yes, but not in the Kingdom.
So true freewill had no place in the Garden but was originally more a case of reasoning and artistic expression?and man's freewill
The will of God, not of man.The Kingdom is centered around the 'Lamb that was slain'.
Before Adam sinned, his will was an expression of who he was. It was natural. After however, he became conflicted in himself (as we are, -constantly deliberating between good and evil).So true freewill had no place in the Garden but was originally more a case of reasoning and artistic expression?
The will of God??The will of God, not of man.
Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be done in earth as it is in HeavenThe will of God??

Which means this backwards world was already created separately in anticipation of our downfall ?I only thought of it as a movement from natural to unnatural,
What's further, if you were God, and your creations were so corrupted that they were at enmity with you, accusing you unjustly of evils, you could not be unified with them, and you would probably not want to stick around.
That's possible.Which means this backwards world was already created separately in anticipation of our downfall ?
Too bad the fallen angels were already here and the world had to have a good flushing. No such thing as a smooth move.That's possible.
Ah. I wonder when the first fall was.Too bad the fallen angels were already here and the world had to have a good flushing. No such thing as a smooth move.
If I were God and I didn't stick around, my creations would cease to exist.
This world is made in a state of constant reproduction, life and death, life and death, cyclic, where everything is food for something else. It thrives on death. We weren't originally from this world but were cast out of the Garden and into it. Had we not been, what was the original purpose of this world we are now part of?
Is there any truth in the old Hebrew concept that this world was the creation of a rebellious angel who still rules it, and once we also rebelled, it became the perfect fit for all of us?
