After Christ comes again and everyone is saved, I thought there was not supposed to be any more possibility of humans sinning--it is just peace and love forever. HOWEVER!!! This situation means that Good can exist without Evil. If Good can exist without Evil in the afterlife, then all the Christian arguments that Evil is somehow necessary for Good to exist go by the wayside. Will God turn all the saved into moral automata after the Rapture?

And one cannot help wondering, if he has the power to create this "perfect world," "moral automata" included,

WHY DIDN'T HE DO SO IN THE FIRST PLACE?!?!?
