[QUOTE="talitha, post: 56903259, member: 90547"] IMHO the present reality we experience is sort of an isolated environment created by God to give us the freedom to choose Him without seeing or experiencing the fullness of reality. Sort of like a "matrix" - if you have seen the movie. If our eyes were opened to spiritual reality, we would definitely worship Him. We all would, just as the angels do. But we don't see, not all of us, and not all the time. In our present reality, the freedom to choose is in a sense amplified because of our blindness. In Heaven, there is still freedom to choose (or Lucifer wouldn't have fallen), but the likelihood of our choosing evil/death/separation-from-God is much less, because we can see and experience who God is. As Christians, the more we experience the presence of God, the less likely it is that we would choose anything else, because it becomes obvious that He is real and powerful and good. blessings tal [/QUOTE]
