What's your take on Heaven? Will there be sin in Heaven?

[MeCajunboy]

Do you think God will still allow "Free Will" in Heaven? Because if he allows "free will," One would have to imagine that with free will comes the possibility of sin! Your thoughts please?

My goodness cajun..what is in your mind...?

when you get there you will not want to do anything but Praise Him who sits on the Throne, sin can not go there and when we reign with Him on the earth we will want to do nothing but work with Him. Free will will not ever enter your mind, honey.

In heaven peace, serenity and Love Encompasses you.. Are you referring to those who are going to be judged? who had sin in there Life...?

Cajunboy:::::oh Pat, I have my on takes on all the quests I propose to the audience. I just want to know where their heads are. All of the questions I propose are all taken directly from the Word of God. There is really no reason for debate in most situations , but I'm more interested in what everyone else is confused or questioning so I propose these type of questions. By the way.....you are correct dear.

The Angels who revolted were not the Saints. Are we not a level above the Angels to begin with?

So, without sin, Heaven becomes an eternal kindergarten with the Lord leading us in a never ending round of activities.

I really don't think our personal relationship with Christ becomes a collective one once we enter Heaven. I dearly hope the individual nature of it never ends, and whilethere may indeed be group activites, now and then I want Him all to myself, so to speak.

Heaven will, I hope will be quite different from everybody's guesstimate. From winged angels floating on clouds playing harps to endless singing and praising, to whatever else we have imagined, I'm really not happy with any of it. While our sin nature may be expunged with our new bodies, I hope other aspects of our personalities remain. For it is in the tangle of our minds that we serve Him, and in our individuality that He must delight, since He went out of His way to make each of us unique.

Whether there is sin or not, I think Heaven will be quite a surprise to all of us.

The premise of your statement is faulty. Man is free to do what he wills (I word it this way to make a point). Man in the unregenerate state cannot will to do good. By free will most imply that man can choose to do good as well as evil. This is contrary to scripture. Man cannot choose to do any good that would be acceptable to God.

To answer your question about heaven, there will be no sin in heaven. God cannot stand sin and will not allow it in His presence.

Grace to you,

The answer is that sin will no longer be your nature. It will have completely been put off. You will be a new Creation.

This is what I found. 2 Peter 2:4 tells us that Satan has been cast out of Heaven.

"For if God spared not the angels that sinned, but cast them down to hell, and delivered them into chains of darkness, to be reserved unto judgment."

Yes, Satan was an angel that sinned, therefore he was cast out with the rest of them that sinned.

When Jesus said, "you will be like the angels", do you think we will still be able to make a bad choice in Heaven? and fall, as they did?

Yes, but the Bible says sin won't rise up again. How could anyone dream of it, after what we've been thru?

Based on what is written in Revelation 21, I'm inclined to think that heaven will be exactly like earth----only perfect----like God intended when He created the Garden of Eden where He walked in fellowship with man.

Rev 21:1

Cajunboy:::::Interesting......Also confusing? (This is contrary to scripture. Man cannot choose to do any good that would be acceptable to God. ) Could you first explain your statement in quotes. Then I would ask you to support you statement s above with scripture/verse?

Thanks for you input, but I would ask you to further explain!
