DaveH: pretend world".  The reason for that is that the world I live in answers the questions I posed to you (and others in TT.)
 
jt: I see your big hangup is 'why did God allow sin when he could have prevented it?' which tells me you do not understand the concept of moral freedom among other things.
DAVEH:  I think I understand moral freedom quite well.  What I don't understand is why Protestants think it is necessary.
 
jt: What kind of a statement is that? Would you rather have a heavenly dictator standing over you with a whip to make sure you do right?  This is Satan's plan and it is called 'bondage' it is what Jesus died to deliver us from.
 
But then I've been doing a little research, and have read that your Church believes that there was some kind of a council of gods in heaven and that Lucifer and Jesus (who are supposedly spirit brothers) both presented their plans. Lucifer's plan was to force men to worship god and Jesus' plan was to show them how to worship god.  Lucifer's plan was rejected, and Jesus' plan was accepted. (Pearl of Great Price, Book of Moses 4:103) 
 
Is the above what you believe DaveH?  Do you think that Lucifer's plan would have been the better one?
