Haven't read this entire thread. But wanted to comment...

I think this is what Jesus came to Earth to do. To release us from the control of this prison existence

And it not that we have to be good to be in Gods grace as much as it is we need to avoid sin to keep us from aligning with the prison guards here.

Sin will align us with the dark beings...thereby being easier to control

Repentance is a key to disengage from the lock they have upon us.
