Privilege presupposes want, which presupposes purpose, which presupposes meaning etc. all of which by the way, I hold (through the reasoning of past philosophers) to be delusions of the human ‘mind’ which has no freedom. —let’s not get into that shall we.
let's do get into it... what exactly are you saying?
But I accept your point. A privilege it is not, for those who do not hold the maxim ‘freedom is good’. But the existence of sin is a necessity for freedom since if all is good, perfect, then there can be no other choice than perfection (assuming that sin has meaning and that it is not merely a delusion).
please explain how "..the existence of sin is a necessity for freedom.." ... imagine sin as a disease and not, as you seem to suggest, something we'd *choose* for ourselves if we had a choice... now imagine a place where this disease is unknown.. how does its absence limit our freedom?
I am attempting merely to find fault in the biblical interpretation of heaven by revealing a seeming violation of free will.
i don't think you've found it with this argument
