What if...existence was far more complicated than a corporeal, mortal, existence? And there were a near infinite number of choices presented to us? But we chose to be sent through a crucible of mortality to grow and develop to improve as eternal beings? Similar to Plato's Cave, if all you ever did was live in the Eternal Glory and Grace of God, how would you ever be able to make decisions about your eternal existence in your own right? How would you be able to make a choice that is righteous because it was righteous instead of being overwhelmingly compelled to do so while in God's Presence? You lack free will in front of the Overgod. You are very close to an automaton at that point. Sure, you still have the ability to think, but you will not choose unrighteousness. So how can you know how to be righteous for righteousness sake instead of the overbearing pressure of the Divine Grace from your Creator? A crucible. A test. A way to improve and develop as an eternal being. To be sent from His presence and Glory and experience and existence that allows you to better understand true righteousness and Eternal Glory. Your soul matures as grows as it truly understands what it means to choose righteousness over evilness, to choose charity over selfishness, to choose edification over debauchery. Now we are talking. Now we are talking about a deeper understanding of what existence about. It is an eternal line of progression where we continually seek to improve and grow as eternal existences. Now the Problem of Evil is nonexistent. Now the situation is resolved. Why? Because that means we chose to exist God's Presence to experience a mortal coil. A crucible. Who knows how many other choices and callings we could have chosen. But we chose the difficult one: to experience existence out of God's Presence. Because we wanted to better understand Divinity, to grow, and develop. That is the highest compliment we can give our Creator. To be righteous for righteousness' sake, not because of the overwhelming pressure to be righteous while in His Presence. Knowing that, knowing that you likely made the toughest choice in your existence before you were born here, should make you better understand your reason for existence. You cam here to be a better person. To be more righteous for righteousness' sake, and not to just exist as an animal.
