The Problem of Evil and the Free Will Defense

[Neo-Scholastic]

The problem with the free will defense of evil is that it completely negates the concept of Christian heaven, unless the Christian is willing to acknowledge that there is no free will there.

Not exactly. People become more of what they are. The decisions you make on earth set your direction. The righteous in Heaven have good habits that only get better unto eternity. The wicked continue to get worse because that is the direction they have set for themselves, which is to increase their slavery to the obsessions and compulsions they loved during life. The righteous however are freed from these compulsions and have the liberty to rejoice in God's love and truth in whatever manner they choose.
