If evil is the product of free will and there is no evil in heaven...will we have free will in heaven? [Spirituality & Religion]

Evil is the product of the devil. There is no evil in God. Evil will be cast out of heaven. God gave us free will. When we lust for evil or choose, because we have already sinned against him in our heart, God gives us over to our evil desires and then we sin against him and face judgment. In Heaven there will be no more temptation by the devil. However the devil was once in heaven and was cast out. He was a fallen angel. So do you think if in heaven with free will you can rebel against God and not be cast out? Absolutely not.

@gregloa Please indicate precisely how.
gregloa · 61-69, M
@Bushranger you two are brothers. You know exactly how.

@gregloa I'll take that first bit as a complement. I quite enjoy Picachu's posts.

If you mean questioning things as being an indication of demonic possession, then I guess we are guilty as charged. However, I personally see questioning as a positive thing.

No. It's kind of hard to imagine having free will in heaven when they threaten you with eternal hellfire.

It seems like that is the opposite of free will.

If God is truly omniscient and has full knowledge of what will happen, we have no free will.

Maybe we should number all these arguments and counter-arguments so we can have a discussion by simply saying “number seventeen”, and somebody else can say “no, number twenty three”.

( maybe that’s why they’re called counter arguments!)

@Glossy I'll see your number 4 and raise a number7 😀
@Glossy


lol that would be kinda great.

Your syllogism appears to be valid.

When you die you are separated by the sins of the flesh, spirit of the world, and temptations. You have no body, you are spirit. When one enters Heaven God reshapes us into something more. He doesn't take away our character or what makes you, you or me, me. He enhances you and perfects you. There's no sin in Heaven but that doesn't mean you don't have free will. You are perfected.
@XReaganX

Are we even human then? And what constitutes properties of the flesh?
If my mum goes to heaven and i go to hell, is she going to be happy in heaven still? If she's not is it heaven? If she is, is she still my mum?

If god is going to perfect us in heaven then what's the point of being human? Good or bad, god could remove our imperfections and we could all live in paradise forever.

@Pikachu You're trying to apply logic to a belief system. It'll not end well.
