[QUOTE="RDKirk, post: 71462663, member: 326155"] It's not "free will" for the sake of "free will" (and I'd argue that "free will" is denied by scripture anyway). But there is a purpose. [COLOR=#b30000]Do you not know that we will judge angels?[/COLOR] -- 1 Corinthians 6 The concept of "judge" here is "lead," as the Judges of Israel were leaders in the book of Judges, but it does include judgment of right and wrong as part of that "job description." If that is to be our eventual and then eternal role, is that something that can be done by the innocent who know nothing about right and wrong? Wouldn't the training to such a spectacular role not be just as arduous and painful as the role is spectacular? [COLOR=#b30000]No discipline seems pleasant at the time, but painful. Later on, however, it produces a harvest of righteousness and peace for those who have been trained by it.[/COLOR] -- Hebrews 12 [/QUOTE]
