Yeah exactly God created Heaven and earth, created us from mud and then He breathed His spirit into us. its not that we were already living with Him in Heaven, We were created of the earth, Our spirit is a portion of Gods spirit from the start, satan then corrupted that and changed us to follow His will which Killed our spirit that Came from God breathing it into us. any Life comes from Gods spirit, its the source of Life itself. Man was made in Gods image because God breathed his spirit into mans body.
in a way weve always been with him because we are of His spirit. thats what Jesus came to redeem and replenish that spiritual image of God Holiness.
The scriptures I picked above tell about His people ( included us as spiritual beings ) when this perishable world not yet created.
His plan about us was to be His corporeal creatures that can bring Glory to Him.
Isa43:7 Even every one that is called by my name:
for I have created him for my glory, I have formed him; yea, I have made him
If God could reach His Goal , by simply created us altogether from; Adam, Eve, Abel,…., Noah,…., Abraham, Isaac , Jacob,….., us,…. Last name in the book of life, surely He created all of us together in Eden .
Cause the result will not match to His goal (can not bring glory to Him ), so He should create us through the perishable realm , by sending one by one through the women wombs to be born.
Rom8:20 For
the creature was made subject to vanity, not willingly, but by reason of him who hath subjected the same in hope
1Pet1:17 And if ye call on the Father, who without respect of persons judgeth according to every man's work,
pass the time of your sojourning here in fear
Heb11:13 These all died in faith, not having received the promises, but having seen them afar off, and were persuaded of them, and embraced them, and confessed that
they were strangers and pilgrims on the earth
The next questions; Why didn’t He take His faithful angels and equipped them with the eternal bodies and put them in the NHNE ( also a simpler manner ) ?, ---> the result also not match to His goal.
Now we can guess what’s for through the perishable world first ?.
For Growth cause there is no growth in the eternal realm ( every things are steady ), then Adam cs surely different with His angels ?, yes His faithful angels were full state (full of knowledge and full of abilities ) when they were created spiritually , but Adam cs were zero state (with no knowledge, with no ability ----> so in the first place they could not differ good and evil .
And when in the beginning God created only Adam and Eve in Eden, this evidence also gave confirmation about Rom8:20 above.
Along their wandering time/ sojourning ( His people ) they are purified in His purification process (salvation by His Grace only) parabled as 40 years in the dessert , the winner = the saved = understood , they shall bring glory to God His goal is achieved .
The loser will be punished together with the devils in the lof.
