It always seems futile to me to try and discuss infinite and eternal purpose created in a temporal environment. For what is not God's will if it is all purposed and ignorance and knowledge are the same since they serve a common end? It is always easy to say it was meant to be after the fact, but still we all struggle with what shall I do next? To not care about it is indifference. Yet indifference may be what's needed when sleeping through the storm.
I have written on this thread mentioning the prodigal son. This analogy was given to us by our Lord. It appears to describe the sentiments of a man who must learn the value of what he did not properly esteem. Also Romans 1 claims men did not esteem God as God when we knew Him. Also Satan was one who desired to ascend his throne above the stars of heaven, and he is who suggested that Adam and Eves horrible living conditions in the Garden of Eden should be improved upon.
It is therefore very likely that mankind disrespected God unknowingly when he gave credence to the subtle slander of Satan by eating the fruit.
It is therefore all about reverance for the One True God and consideration of what the word Holiness means. So in the big picture it seems to me that God has sown the seed of His offspring in the midst of corruption so that they will grow unto him with all purity of heart. We see this in the generation of Israelites that came out of walking the dessert for forty years into the land of milk and honey. They had the capacity to say Thank You. But first all those who murmered and complained coming out of Egypt into the dessert had to die away. God's plan is to give us the proper perspective through all that has transpired, so that all who inherit the Kingdom have the right attitude.
