[QUOTE="Hospes, post: 64553526, member: 116445"] Ken, when you write "I don't see the advantage...", I can only guess you actually mean "I understand what you think is the advantage and don't value it", which is a perfectly understandable position for you to take. I "guess" this because I believe I have given a rationale explanation for the advantage being the display and enjoyment of the glory - i.e. praiseworthiness - of God and I believe you have the intelligence to understand what I wrote. (Otherwise, I would have to assume you haven't really engaged your mind in what I have written.) So I am left with you don't see the value of God's glory when in contrast to the damage caused by the Fall. If this is the case, rather than discussing reasons for the fall, we need to discuss whether or not you and I have our values arranged correctly. BTW, I must assume you don't live according to your response regarding the goodness befalling the people I know. To see goodness in your own life and devalue it because it only exists because there is brokenness would be to miss out on much happiness. So, again, I assume when something good happens to you, you see it as good and do not dismiss it as the results of the existence of bad. Otherwise, you would have to be miserable; you don't strike me as miserable. [/QUOTE]
