Heaven will not lack choices, therefore freewill will be present. Sin will be eradicated but not forgotten, we will have reached a point where we do not have the desire to do evil because we are firmly reconnected to God, we know the consequences of evil, we remember sin and we will eventually know who made it to heaven and who didnt and why. All secrets will be revealed to us, all things done in the dark will be brought to light, every person's trial before the Lord will be public. If you think that freewill will die with the eradication of evil, then you never understood that the angels chose whether to side with Lucifer or God before evil was even realized on earth. Everyone, angel and man is given a choice...freewill, our choices will lead to our final resting place.
If you choose sex to define you, then you're not seeking heaven as your resting place.
Look, it's as simple as this. Free will is the ability to make your own choices. You're saying that you can make your own choices, as long as it's a choice that is one of the things God wants you to do. Can you really not see why that is NOT free will?
If I have five different types of sandwiches, and say you have free will to pick any of them as long as it's either chicken or beef, not the other three, have I given you free will? No. Stop claiming you'll have free will when the rest of what you're saying DIRECTLY contradicts that.
You're right on one thing, I'm not seeking your shitty idea of heaven. Even if I believed in an afterlife, your brand sounds nauseating and boring.
But since you've breached the subject a little, where am I going if I live this life of hedonism salty? Go ahead, you can say it.
