not necessarily. Define life. Still, no, I don't find that strange at all. God wants to share all with those that are like him. So he gives us a choice and if we choose him, in the end, we are fashioned to not have a propensity to sin as we do being born separated from him. It's far better than creating a host of angels and having 1/3 of them rebel. Scripture says He did not create the earth in vain but to be inhabited. Lucifer and his angels failed. He is securing a people that will not fail.

I was not at all being sarcastic. You can shrug it off, but you said what you said.
