Most adhere to good and trouble with the comprehension with life. To assume that billions will be condemned when we have not witnessed the actual judgement or even understood the context of everyone's own actions is presumptuous. Should the father be condemned forever for stealing food for his family or should the adulteress liar be spared because of his charity?(August 14, 2011 at 8:24 pm)C Rod Wrote: I think heaven or the new age will be more. I think the things that tempt, evil(selfishness) will be gone.How noble of your god concept - its a god-damn shame he couldn't be bothered to do that first-time-round with Eden, thus dooming billions of souls through either his own incompetence or negligence.
Quote:Flawless. The rules you set are to fix or alleviate some sort of flaw from either the creation or what the creation is given. That your post would simply be, " It would be perfect."Then its either impossible to achieve or the word is altogether meaningless; according to your own theology Satan was perfect yet still managed to fall along with a third of Heaven behind him.
But you could say the plan idea is what you would consider perfect. But only you would know it and perfection would be what you say it is based on what you gave us.

You give a valid observation of perfection and then condemn my religion by using the very word. If your assessment is true then Satan was not perfect(perfection is not something) but perfect in that he chose to sin for selfish reasons. What if the very nature of things, of perfection is mere choice. No matter what your given, your most perfected power is choice, will.
