If these individuals break any of God's laws, then He never allows them to exist. — Anonymys
In speaking with a mentor, questions were brought up about God's existence, sin, free will, and heaven.
Understanding, for context, that the God in question is one of euro-Christian belief from the bible, in what world is God just and fair?
The question was posed as such:
There were three universes in God's domain. The first having the perfect world with no sin, no freewill, where everyone was created to be perfect. The second universe has free will, but before people are born, God looks through their life and sees if there were any points in which they were not perfect: committing no sin. If these individuals break any of God's laws, then He never allows them to exist. The third universe is our universe, where, as far as we know, God allows for free will, sin, and salvation. Would God create the first or second universe? Is the first and second universe ethical to create? Which of these universes follows the biblical interpretation of heaven? Etc.
I want to leave this post as open-ended as possible. Thoughts? — Anonymys

Yes, you're referring to the first universe — Anonymys
Whether we are part of a permanently fixture of not, we exist. — Anonymys
Yeah, "not a robot" is better, but wouldn't you rather have both (a) not a robot, and (b) a guarantee that the not-a-robot won't murder me in my sleep? — Terrapin Station
In the case of our relation to God or to The Good, maybe there is no risk of us doing serious harm there. One obvious objection is that we harm one another. — petrichor
would such a universe be ethical? Moral? Would God's existence be justified in such a universe? Would God then become the devil in that universe? After all, he has taken away the individuality of free will. Alternatively, does God just become a puppet master? Does that universe even have a God? — Anonymys
