I will clear up the confusion about this.
In the perfect spiritual world, the soul is never forced to love or do anything, and the soul has always independence.
When the soul misuses their independence, and desires to exist apart from God,.....then the material world is the only place that they can imagine that they are fully indepenant and apart from God, because actually the soul proper is a little piece of God, and God cannot seperate itself from itself.
The illusion of being seperate from God, can only exist in an illusion, it cant exist as an absolute reality,....and thats why we have this place called the material creation at all.
If all of mankind, where submisive to this truth, then they would all be living the devotional life, or the spiritual life, and the living of that spiritual life would make our temporary stay in this world more like a paradise than it is.........the world is in a mess because hardly anyone is living the spiritual way, and we have crime, wars, racism, poverty, greed ect, and these things would not prvail as they do in a spiritul society.
The christian idea of the earth being a paradise, is false and a misunderstanding of the purpose of this material world of suffering.
The bible is limited in truth, and to understand fully the nature of God and Life, one must study and practice the teachings of the only bonafide scripture, Vedanta.
If christianity, would teach the people of the higher truths of the nature of God and the living being, then I would be in support of it, but it fails to do so.
Vedanta has been existing with man, from the beginning of creation, and there are millions of verses that give all the knowlege that one needs to develope love for God, and go back home to Godhead.
Any religion, that does not speak out against animal slaughter and meat eating, is a bogus religion.....and run as far as you can from it.
