Do you agree? Why? If you disagree, what do you think about it and those who agree with it?

This life is not a test. It is a period of spiritual growth for those who are willing to pursue it. For those who are not, it is the end.

A test implies that something else comes afterwords. When you test in school and pass you to to the next level. I don't believe there is a next level so its not a test. Life is a challenge and it is about meeting the challenge in the best way possible with the intelligence you were born with.
Those who want to wish it's a test can do so.. they have that right. They could believe the sky was purple if they wanted but that doesn't mean I have to believe it.

Dear EdSawyer: "Life is just a Test. You have to live through it in order to Pass."
In the true scheme of things, we are here in physical life due to the Great Separation. It took place in Eternity, within our Spirit-minds, where we abide with the Creator/Father. Not in the Garden of Eden - a myth. The Father has sanctioned this physical experience of life as a school for learning.
When our learning is sufficient for us to Return and be fully conscious of Him - it will be due to our having learned all that was NECESSARY. Our thinking, our ability to love, our actions, our devotion to each other have to reach a certain high level - in order for us to be back in His Presence. If we did not learn well enough, our minds would feel unequal to Him, in His Presence -and we could NOT withstand His light and His love.
Indeed, the test must be passed.

Believe what you want to believe, do what gets you through the next day just dont feel you're right and everyone who doesnt think your way is wrong. For me, everyday is a test but on the whole there is nothing more than the time we're given.

My Lord has taught me that though His reasons for setting my feet upon a path are not apparent til I reach it's ending; it's my obedience during the journey that is the real test........

There are elements of a test, but over all, it's more like training.

If anything, the test is later. The lesson is now.
Life is about learning.
