Is there free will in heaven?

[Zen Badger]

So he still allows people to kill each other even though he hasn't decided that it is their time to die. What is the difference between what I said and what you said?

Okay, I am going to try this one more time.

God gives man the choice to do good or evil. So, He allows people to make choices which violate His laws for the sake of free will. He also brings judgement and may decide to recall someone for the evil they've done. Generally He is patient, not wanting anyone to be condemned. Lets say you got stabbed and left for dead. Help is 10 minutes away and its serious. God could at that time call you up, or He could keep your spirit there until help arrived.

Does this mean God is responsible for your death? No, because by having transgressed His laws you put your life in His hands. The penalty for sin is death and it is up to God when He wants to enforce it.

So people can die even though god hasn't decided it's their time then?
