evil events and actions do not constitute merely a necessary part of the Journey to the Ultimate Good - but are a part of the Ultimate Good itself. Thus, the Ultimate Good is not, well...Ultimately Good

Well, I think you mix up the created item – rope (time), with the creator – man (God). When I was saying God’s outside time, I intended to underline this also. The time is
not part of the God as much as the rope I weave is not part of me. It’s my creaton, thing I made. It is even held in christian theology that God has no
need to create. So that is the ants on the rope that go wrong, not man looking upon them. There is a journey from the beginning to the end only from ant’s point of view. And that is an essential part of ants nature that they
can go wrong. The whole point of the rope and the journey is this. Otherwise, if they can’t they are not creatures of the free will, but mere automata. And the sinfulness of particular man is not making God less Good, it only shows man is wicked.
