Free will in heaven?
Just wondering, if one makes it to heaven, does one have free will? If a person has free will in heaven, does that not lead to the possibility of suffering? If a person doesn't have free will in heaven, then isn't he or she just a robot? If there is suffering in heaven, can it be called heaven?
If however, we could have free will in heaven AND there is no suffering, how can anyone claim that god is all good, since there is a possibility of free will and no suffering? |

There must be a great deal of suffering in Heaven because we know from many of the Christians that post here all of the following: 1. God can not do anything against His nature. 2. It is God's nature to give his creatures free will. 3. The amount of suffering in the world is at the absolute minimum amount that still allows humanity to have free will. Here is something else we know: 1. 100 percent of all suffering is caused by free will. Does Hell have free will? If not, there should be no suffering in Hell. If so, does it have the same amount of free will as Heaven? That would make the suffering in Heaven and Hell about even I would assume. |
