Is there free will in heaven?

[Mystic]

When were 2-3 years old, we have limited choices. We have free-will with certain choices, but there is a lot of choices we don't have. There is a lot of thoughts we don't have and don't have capability to think about. We are a person, and what we are is going to change. As we grow, what made us happy when 2-3 years old, may not make us happy anymore. We grow and become different. At no point, did we cease being whom we are. We are constantly changing. We grow up and change more. Our choices are different, we no longer enjoy everything we enjoyed when younger. We become less silier. We learn to question things. Our conscious develops. We also develop a personality. We develop habits and defining qualities. Did changing from whom we were before mean we are no longer our identity? I don't think so personally.

From the Christian perspective, we are sill developing. We will become different in heaven but we don't cease to be whom we are. Sure some chidlren may never want to cease being children, when your 20 you may never want to become 30 or 50, you may want to stay the same, but this is not the system we are in. Our mind constantly changes and develops.

Now some people want to stay the same as they are now in heaven? And say if they don't, they would be robbed of their free-will? Playing with a certain toy was a choice you had that made you happy, but you lost your will to play with that toy, because it no longer makes you happy. Did you lose free-will. Did you lose your idenity?

It seems to me people are afraid of growing to something more then what they are now. I don't know if we will have sex after death, but I don't see how should always want it, it could be part of what we are now, but why not want to grow out of it.

It's like when I was young, I thought when I grow up and get money, I will buy so much legos, and I thought having lots of legos will make me happy.

Also, a lot of people have no will to muder people. The thought is utterly against whom they are , and there is never really a struggle of choice. I don't see how if people grow with good will to not want to do evil, that they been robbed of free-will. They still can have choices. The reality is the thought of murdering people doesn't occur to everyone, it's only a choice for a few people. Some people will choose not to and fight that thought, and others will kill. Other people developed a concsious in which the thought will never occur. The same is with rape and other things. The fact the thought never occors to them to do so, doesnt mean they don't have free-will.

In the christian heaven how your personality develops to heaven, how grateful you will be, etc, all this will still can have your own will into it. You will still have choices, it's just that you will have developed into a higher state in which you won't want to do the evil things. Sure you will not have the test of free-will like you had on earth, but this happens with a lot of people. People develop personatities, and they don't get to re-decide everything that developed their character. They have limited influence on how much they want to change. Their character and how it developes dictates the type of choices they choose from...

A person living in poverty might not get to chose what food he wants to eat, he simply has to eat. He might have less choice then other people but he still has free-will.

The way look at, their is still room for free-will and how your character develops in a place where people no longer will evil.
