About a "greater good"
"about the greater good"
What's a greater good in the fallen creation than the lack of evil from the beginning? I know that the Lord created the world with the idea of allowing free will in mind, because if He didn't, He wouldn't even put the tree of knowledge of good and evil in it and it certainly wouldn't be because He's evil since God the Son willingly came to earth to suffer, be humiliated and die for us, He also know about the many times when He will get sad or angry because of our actions, which is something rather strange for a suposedly egocentric or prideful omniscient being to do, its just free and extreme stress for something that could be easily avoided by a single decision, not create, He would be eternally happy with himself alone since He doesn't need anything outside of Himself, we also know from the book of revelation that God have the power to change the entire universe to at least the point where death doesn't exist anymore, but what greater good comes from a person experiencing evil and choosing not to follow it than from learning from God Himself to not follow it? Wouldn't these people feel the repulse that the people who experienced it and rejected it feel?"
Also, would it be logically possible that all people are free and decide to do good without the knowledge of good and evil? (Since fallen humanity has it because of the first couple eating the forbidden fruit)
And, what would be the implications that God created a world that would be perfected by time and not just perfect from the beginning? Coming from the word for "dominion" in the creation of humanity being "radah" which mostly means violent dominion or the implication that Adam and Eve could die even before the fall since they couldn't eat from the three of life because they would live forever in corruption.
