What stops you from sinning in heaven?

Which in no way addresses the earlier point you made about god showing them how wrong they were in their choice. Revealing the eternal consequences of that decision can be summarised as "Har! Har! I told you so!" which is not a loving thing to do.


Quote:God gave us free will for several reasons,
I'm not talking about free will, stop trying to change the subject. I'm responding to your earlier claim about love triumphing over evil. How can love conquer evil when hell is eternal and the hatred and wickedness grows more intense for infinity?

You already know the answer. It can't.


Quote:God is never caught by surprise,
Does not address the topic at hand.


Quote:God has seen all of history, sin could never get the upper hand on Him.
Doesn't change the fact that sin, to live contrary to god's will or holy law is inevitable.


Quote:God punishes sin so how can you possibly believe that the Punisher of sin could be weaker than sin.
And the hatred of those who are punished sin again and again and again. He cannot destroy sin. Your god cannot even allow sin to be in his presence. He is weak and terrified of it and can do nothing to curb or halt its spread like wild fire through his creation.


Quote:Neither are a biblical choices, so you can rule them out. God saves all those who choose His Son through faith. God's nature is love, so there can be on evil in Him, the two are incompatible as the nature of a being.
What? Would you mind retyping that paragraph because you're not making any sense.

"Sin" as we know it, won't be part of Heaven.

How about sin "as we don't know it"? Jerkoff
I am the Infantry. I am my country’s strength in war, her deterrent in peace. I am the heart of the fight… wherever, whenever. I carry America’s faith and honor against her enemies. I am the Queen of Battle. I am what my country expects me to be, the best trained Soldier in the world. In the race for victory, I am swift, determined, and courageous, armed with a fierce will to win. Never will I fail my country’s trust. Always I fight on…through the foe, to the objective, to triumph overall. If necessary, I will fight to my death. By my steadfast courage, I have won more than 200 years of freedom. I yield not to weakness, to hunger, to cowardice, to fatigue, to superior odds, For I am mentally tough, physically strong, and morally straight. I forsake not, my country, my mission, my comrades, my sacred duty. I am relentless. I am always there, now and forever. I AM THE INFANTRY! FOLLOW ME!

The christian concept of heaven just baffles me more and more every day. When I was little I pictured heaven like Olympus from Hercules....Heaven is a perfect example of human fear. Even if the person does not 'fear' death, they sure as shit LOATHE the idea of rotting in the ground, so heaven is a nice little alternative that seems beyond outrageous. This thread makes the perplexity go up by at least 3 points. Yeesh.

So we will be limited to......loving god? I mean, sin 'as we know it' covers many aspects about being human. If we take those away, what will we be in heaven? Mindless winged robots serving the grand-master?

The feeble mind will pray to god, the feeble mind will fall.

Not at all. You will be yourself only more like you really are on the inside. Freed from the obsessions and compulsions of sin you will be more capable of helping and serving others. Loving God also means loving your neighbor as yourself. You will have infinitely many ways to serve the Lord: guiding and protecting the living and ministering to the damned in hell to minimize the harm they do to each other.
