“Robots are not the cursed decendants of an original robot who was once free, but freely choose to enter the curse for himself and all his progeny.”

Hi,
I wanted to speak to you about your quote, to maybe change your belief on this subject.
I wondered like most, where Adam and Even ended up? The Church teaches they are both in Heaven. They repented unlike Judas. Oh, the absolute soul saving importance of repentance and Confession.
Continuing...Prophecy (private revelation) helps to make God’s plan explicit. I understand better from prophecy...
God wants to give His creation everything, all of Him, this is how God is. It’s true. We see outside of prophecy even, in Jesus giving humanity His mother from the Cross. She is our mother too. As a human, I don’t know if I could share with everyone one of “the” dearest people to me, probably all of us, my own mother.
Getting to my point, oh how God loved/loves Adam and Eve. They were given three extra gifts called preternatural gifts, which they lost with the fall. One of them is “infused knowledge.” Part of the reasons the fall was so terrible, Adam failed God’s “test” and because of “infused knowledge” given Adam, he knew the consequences of his “no” for all of us.
Oh how God loves Adam even though, his original sin, it’s beautiful to read.
I’ll post an excerpt (a translation) from a “private revelation given Luisa Piccarreta, a Catholic mystic, if not the greatest Catholic mystic. Luisa was given revelations about living in God’s Divine Will. Those revelations are being investigated by the Church at present.
Our Lord to Luisa Piccarreta
September 28, 1928
...My daughter, the first period of the life of ADAM is unforgettable for Us, for him, and for all Heaven. After he fell into sin, he remained like a blind person who, before losing his sight, has done so many beautiful works as to fill Heaven and earth. Who could ever say that those are not works done by him, only because he voluntarily lost his sight? And that, since he can no longer repeat them because he is blind, the ones he has done remain without value? Certainly no one. Or, if a person who applies himself to study science, in the middle of his studies no longer wants to continue, can anyone take away or destroy the good of the science he has acquired, only because he does not continue? Certainly not. If this happens in the human order, much more so, and with more validity and certainty, in the divine order.
So, by virtue of the first period of his life, innocent and carried out all in the unity of Our Fiat, ADAM possesses such glory and beauty that no one can equal him. At the mere sight of him, all of the Blessed recognize how beautiful and majestic the creation of the first man was, enriched with so much grace. In looking at him, they can see, in him, the incalculable good of the Divine Will in the creature, and the joy and happiness that the creature can possess. In him alone, as though within a mirror, the Blessed can see how man was created, the exuberant love that We had for him, the abundance with which We enriched him. We gave him everything, as much as a creature could contain, to the point of overflowing outside and being able to flood the whole earth. If it were not so – if the whole magnificence of Our creative hands could not be seen in ADAM – then the great things We did in the Creation, and that which the creature does and can do in Our Divine Will would not be known even in Heaven. It is Our love that demands this, and also Our justice that wants to keep, in Heaven, the reality of that image, as man was created – and not another man, but the very one who came out of Our creative hands, so that, if the earth does not know him, Heaven may know him. They look at their origin in ADAM, and, grateful, they thank Me and pray that My Fiat may come to reign upon earth, and form more images, more beautiful than ADAM, because he was not a complete work in My Divine Will, but a period of life. Only the Sovereign Queen possesses complete life and works in My Fiat, therefore there is no one who can equal Her. My Will wants to make more complete lives in It, so as to repeat what It did in the Creation, to make known to the earth the way and the order in which the creature was created, and the great, beautiful, holy things that My Divine Will can do in her (Our Lady).
Moreover, you (Luisa) must know that, up to now, I have not manifested to anyone either the great qualities of ADAM, or his sublimity, greatness and sanctity as he lived his first period of life in the unity of My Will; and by virtue of his acts done in It, the great glory that he enjoys in Heaven. Many, on the contrary, believed that since he slipped into sin, he could at most have a glory common to all the other Blessed, or perhaps even less than the others. But wanting to restore again the Kingdom of My Divine Will, I feel within Me a necessity of love to manifest the first epoch of Creation, and the first period of the life of ADAM – all of Divine Will – as well as the glory which he enjoys in Heaven by virtue of It, so that, as the other creatures come to know a good so great, they may dispose themselves and long for the Divine Fiat on earth as It is in Heaven.
