Is The Physical Realm Analogous To A Simulated Reality?

[VladtheDestroyer]

In my experience most Christians and especially my fellow YECs, would agree with me that it is.

Assuming that is the case here on TOL, my next question would be:

What is the purpose of this simulation?

 

[ttruscott]

The purpose of this simulation is to return the lost sheep, HIS sinful elect, to HIM as heaven ready, able to start the heavenly marriage. Living with the reprobate who can never return helps to fulfill this purpose in HIS prodigal sons, Matt 13:27-30.

Choosing to be God minded and holy speeds up, hastens, the day this simulation ends:
2 Peter 3:11 Since everything will be destroyed in this way, what kind of people ought you to be? You ought to conduct yourselves in holiness and godliness 12 as you anticipate and hasten, (speed up) the coming of the day of God, when the heavens will be destroyed by fire and the elements will melt in the heat.
