There is "no time" in the spiritual realm as the angels were created in eternity before time. In eternity they made their decision to follow God or not. There was no "gradual" change. Only "one" of the reasons this enlightenment is claptrap.

Hi bucky,
Your assumption above is illogical, since all that transpires as a matter of relationship and movement does so in a context of 'time-perception', so that all decisions or movements of mind (thought-correlations) that relate to other thoughts (cause/effect, relativity) are
time sequenced. Therefore the whole cosmic drama of angels in rebellion must necessarily be perceived as transpiring in time, and
at a certain time (imagine what you will about 'eternity')
As shared previously, time on Paradise or more spiritualized worlds and to other celestial beings will be somewhat different because of dimension and conditions, but there is relativity of sequence, transpiration of events that take place, as long as such are 'relatable', and much more so to the mind of man as he is able to understand and conceptualize.
There was no "gradual" change.
How do you figure that? In space-time relativity there is action/reaction, cause/effect, seed/harvest, evolution, motion - these 'transpire' in time by virtue of their
movements.
Only "one" of the reasons this enlightenment is claptrap.
Even if this held water, it would be a lousy reason to assume all in the UB is claptrap, because your assumption of 'time-relations' is askew. It appears that you're more likely trying to find weak-spots in the UB off the cuff to discredit it. (surprise).
Again, even if one sees parts of the UB as religious fiction, or cosmic mythology, so be it.
All events transpire in some mode of space-time relativity and perception. Thats obvious. We can split hairs over 'eternity' vs. 'time' perception or butt heads over the metaphysics of 'simultaneity', but the obvious implications of 'angels in rebellion' and the whole cosmic drama, in fact the whole strata of creation, a falling away, redemption, a divine Son's incarnation, a divine anointing, a movement of the Spirit,
all things fluxing,
connotes a perception of time. The UB goes into space-time relationships rather insightfully, from the higher pespective of the celestials, but such insight could only be afforded to a
reader. (hint)
Injoy!
