That's a deep question man 😮 I think the best answer for your question is this:

What is the one question that perplexes you most, but you don't have a reasonable hope to know the answer to?

Just kidding 😆

In all seriousness, I've been thinking about this all day and I think that I've come to a conclusion. Probably one question that perplexes me most and I don't have a reasonable hope to know the answer to while in life is this:

How can we continue to learn and progress once we're perfected in Heaven? How can you improve on perfection?

It is my belief that there is a God, He loves us, this life has a purpose, and it's to be tested and prove to ourselves and to God that we're worthy and able to receive the perfection that He has and become like He is. I also believe that we'll continue to learn, grow, and progress even after we've been perfected.

It all makes sense except for that one question which appears contradictory in nature, but I think that I lack in understanding and therefore have no reasonable hope in knowing the answer in this life.

One thing I definitely am confident of though. No matter what happens, no matter how much I know/don't know or understand don't/understand, and regardless of what choices others make, as long as I am righteous and follow Jesus Christ's example, I will be eternally happy. And that confidence and faith helps me get over any fear or doubt that I have.

Thanks for the question. It was deep, and you got an honest and deep answer 😄

Thank you for the answer (or, shall I say, the question)!
This also perplexed me a ton and for me was one of the reasons I stopped believing in afterlife.

Maybe God is not perfect since he created man in his own image.

That said I don't want to start an argument. :-)
I respect your views and this is very very tricky topic.
I really appreciate your honest answer!
