Does God's plan require evil?
Is not the heavenly state the culmination of all life? Is not the heavenly state characterized as the marriage of Christ and HIS Church:
Revelation 19:6-7 “Alleluia! For the Lord God Omnipotent reigns! Let us be glad and rejoice and give Him glory, for the marriage of the Lamb has come, and His wife has made herself ready” Is not the sexual union of married people symbolic of the spiritual unity with GOD of those married to GOD?
So:
"Why were we made?"
We were made to have a full unity with GOD in a full communion of emotion (love) and communication (telepathy, like the angels enjoy) within all of created reality with GOD and everyone else within the marriage, for eternity.
All doctrine must flow from this revelation to us of HIS purpose.
A marriage that is forced is not a marriage but a rape.
A marriage that is built on tricking the bride into not understanding that she could say
no is not a marriage at all but a fraud.
Therefore for HIS purpose for us to enter into the communion of a unity with us called marriage to be real, it must have been as a offered to us as
a proposal of marriage which we had the right and understanding to accept or reject by our free will.
Those who accepted HIS proposal (and the attenuating promise of salvation if we should ever fall into sin) were chosen to be HIS bride, a promise of marriage called election.
Those who rejected HIS proposal of marriage immediately became enslaved to the addictive quality of evil with no chance of salvation as they were rejecting their only hope to be freed from their addiction, that is, they were condemned to banishment from all of created reality to the outer darkness from that second on.
No one was created as evil as HE had no reason or need for evil people in HIS purpose for finding a Bride. HE could not and would never marry an evil person. Those of you who know this to be true must redefine your theologies which mangle this truth to stay reconciled to itself. GOD is love and in HIM is no evil at all:
a stream of life giving water cannot also give forth salty or stagnant water.
I champion GOD’s righteous holiness:
- GOD did not need evil to fulfill HIS plan and did not create evil for any reason.
- All evil is creature created by their true free will.
I champion Our Free will:
- All spirits created in the image of GOD were created with the ability to make true free will decisions and had an equal opportunity and ability to choose for HIM or against HIM.
