So, Elsie.
Are these “versus” saying that we were in a state of “ perfect celestial being”, but were then forced to be born in order to work for our salvation, so we could come back to being in a state of “celestial perfection”?
What would be my motivation to leave this state of “perfect celestial being”? Why wouldn’t I just stay were I was?
You have no choice.
