14 I will ascend above the heights of the clouds; I will be like the Most High.
I wonder so much about agency and opposition and enticements in the pre-earth life.
Living with and learning from Heavenly Parents, in a heavenly place, how could we (Lucifer in particular) have wanted any different?
How does agency work with no negative outside enticements?
Who would have enticed us?
Or was it solely us that enticed ourselves?
And what about in the post mortal world? How will opposition still exist in a Celestial Kingdom? Or will it be only by our righteousness that it is bound?
Maybe in the pre-earth life we hadn't had the opportunity to exercise faith in Christ enough yet to bind, or force, temptation out forever?
Maybe that's what I am doing here?
Where does Christ and His Atonement fit in? I know He is the CENTER of everything, and yet I still struggle to understand how the whole agency/redemption puzzle fits together.
There's still so MUCH I want (NEED!) to learn!
