If one controls all possible variables, wouldn’t creation be akin to writing a story? Where every event is how you intended it to be with no surprises.

Playthings? Ego boosters? Showing off to other deities? It can't be 'children' or 'pets' because you don't torture your misbehaving* loved ones, especially not for eternity with no chance of redemption. What exactly, according to your worldview, is the purpose of our existence?…

I saw in my KJV Bible it says: "My soul shall make her boast in the Lord" so as it's said later on we as the church are the bride of Christ so are all men and women considered females in God's eyes? since I've heard God has no grown folks in heaven we are all gods children?
