In the beginning, nobody knew sin, it was later it was introduced and has put us all into trouble As we're conscious of our new home (the new earth?) hope there'll be no one that'll do the abominable again and put the whole race into another trial |

Hello there. I'm a Christian committed to following the Bible wherever it goes. According to the Bible, this life is the only opportunity that anyone has to decide their eternal relationship to God. If anyone chooses in this life to submit to God, upon Resurrection, their choice will be sealed eternally so that they can never again sin against God. So the new creation that God will make for us will be completely free of sin. On the other hand, after death, no sinner can continue to sin against God because then Glory of God when unveiled destroys every ability of creatures to oppose Him. That is, free will effectively ends in this life. We will still be able to make choices after we die but not of whether we want to obey God or disobey Him. It is impossible to disobey God once we see Him as He is. That is why we cannot see Him unveiled in this life. So, this life is the only place where anyone can sin against God in any way whether arrogantly or ignorantly. 1 Like |

Ihedinobi3:Nice one, just to chip in, there will still be free will because God is a God of love who desires to be loved freely. The issue of sin has already been dealt with through christ death and resurrection. In the fullness of time all things would have been united in christ so that all in christ wold have a perfect knowledge of God. God is pure love and also he is true and righteous. 1 Corinthians 13:10-12 But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. Our free will be but to worship and to love him forever when all is set and done. |

solite3:Free will is by definition the ability to choose to submit to God or to rebel against His Authority. It is not merely the ability to choose, for example, whether to eat rice instead of chips etc. Regarding free will, this is what the Bible says: [23]"I have sworn by Myself, The word has gone forth from My mouth in righteousness And will not turn back, That to Me every knee will bow, every tongue will swear allegiance. [24]"They will say of Me, 'Only in the Lord are righteousness and strength.' Men will come to Him, And all who were angry at Him will be put to shame. Isaiah 45:23-24 NASB [10]so that at the name of Jesus every knee will bow, of those who are in heaven and on earth and under the earth, [11]and that every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Philippians 2:10-11 NASB That is, in the end, nobody will be able to continue to rebel against God. Free will effectively ends with this life. As for how that works with the loving nature of God, it is that Nature that has allowed us to choose right now. It is also that Nature that will make it possible for all choices to be sealed eternally. Sin is a heavy burden for the righteous. Those who love the Lord do not look forward to disobeying Him but in this flesh we do so more than we like to. To know that a time will come when we will be completely unable to sin against Him is a joy to our spirits. The only people who consider that any kind of bad news are the unrighteous who are unrepentantly at war with the Lord. But thank God that they are not His Match, that their mad rebellion will end someday and all Creation will know Peace at the Lord's Gracious Hand. Finally, of course, you are right that knowledge has a big role in this. In fact, that is how free will works. Because we can only know in part in this body, we are able to doubt and deny the Truth and create and follow lies of our own choosing. That is what free will is. But when we see the Lord, the Truth is undeniable. At that time, every knee will be forced to bow and every tongue will confess that Jesus Christ is God. |

By the time Nigerian Christians fill heaven - You will be able to bribe yourself into heaven - Pastors will eventually overthrow Jehovah for the throne especially when Jehovah starts requesting for account of all the tithes and offering - There will be division in heaven. All different denominations will occupy different territories and then they will have to divide themselves into different tribal territories as well - Food and clothes and other things will be imported from hell because Nigerians don't know how to produce anything - Jesus will bang all the women in heaven. That one too sure  - Most of heaven's funds will be looted and eventually all of heaven's infrastructure will become rotten - Eventually heaven will become just like Nigeria and everyone will want to fight to go to hell  4 Likes 1 Share |
