If there is no free will in heaven, it would be kinda cheap, wouldn't it?
SO, WHY IS EARTH ANY DIFFERENT?
I've been saying all along that the reason that there is suffering and pain in this life is because without free will, we would be robots and life would become trivial. Without free will here on earth, "no more bad choices".
You have reasoned your way to the Christian perspective quite well.
(Undoubtedly, many denials, retractions and rebuttals will follow, but the cat is out of the bag.)
Now DRICH and GC, you've put a great deal of effort denying what Randy has just confirmed, Christians have said that freewill is the reason god allows sin. If this is so then either we won't have freewill in Heaven or we will be able to sin there. If it will be possible to have freewill without sin in Heaven then it would have been possible in the Garden of Eden and thus here on Earth.
Take any aspect of the Christian story to its logical conclusion and you have impossibilities, contradictions and situations that just ain't so.
Thank you.
Just don't miss post #127 which covers your concerns about "impossibilities, contradictions and situations that just ain't so."
