The actual truth if you believe Christian theology. Angels AND God are fully capable of changing things, but free will is sort of like the Prime Directive in Star Trek if you want to be charitable. Uncharitably, we're God's play things and only a tiny fraction of the most loyal will see true reward.

The vast field of ambiguity between those two points is ... kinda' the point in why there has been so much quarrel even between Christian sects.

So the playthings ~~with dunning-kruger~~ who are loyal are still playthings after?

Depends entirely on the religious sect. Some believe we live happily ever after in a similar condition but in paradise, some believe the believers get ascended to godhood, literally able to create universes.

It is an entire spectrum of fantasy, and that's just the Christian sects.

Gnosticism is another old collection of beliefs that's quite interesting to read about
