The Problem of Evil and the Free Will Defense
#40
RE: The Problem of Evil and the Free Will Defense
Again and again I hear how good and evil must exist together to bring a balance to free will. If that is true, then how can heaven exist? Theoretically, only good people can exist in heaven. If all anyone can do there is good, where is free will?

Ah, but CW said there are fallen angels. So why is heaven promised to only the good when there will be evil there? Is that paradise? No, it sounds like life will continue on, with no change. Heaven is implausible.

On another note, can people have children in heaven? Being with children they created is paradise to many. But procreation brings jealousy, lust and desire. Those are evils that can ruin the "paradise" of heaven. If evil is in heaven, it can't be paradise, but heaven can't exist without evil. WTF?

Utter nonsense.
