I was just wondering, from a Christian point of view, what stops the Christian from sinning in heaven? Do you not have free will anymore when you get there? (I'm assuming of course that no one in heaven will ever sin which is what I think most Christians think)
I think I remember from my days as a Christian learning about how Christians will get a "new body" in the afterlife. Is this what keeps you from sinning in heaven? If so, this would seem to imply that it's our current bodies that causes us to sin. Assuming this is true, it seems that it would have been better for God to give all men better bodies.
Also, what sort of body did Adam and Eve sport? Was it the same sort of body that Christians get in the afterlife? Assuming that it was not the same body as in heaven, and assuming that the new body prevents one from sinning, why did not God simply give Adam and Eve the new better body?
But in any case, assuming that no one in heaven will ever sin, what stops a person from sinning in heaven?
