God is outside of time. To him, past, present and future are the same. Scripture says that Christians are already seated in Heaven. We on the earth, are limited to a linear progression of time. We reference time by our physical mortal lives, so living Christians haven’t yet experienced our heavenly existence. Even when we get there, I don’t know we’ll be able to understand God, who has no beginning or end, because while we will have no end, we did have a beginning…
Would you like to be a slave or robot?

Paul_Thomson:
Maybe bestowing freewill requires allowing creatures to choose erroneously with negative consequences, and a plan for redemption when we choose evil is better than eliminating freewill.
Do we become slaves or robots when we go to heaven?
We are sons and daughters when in heaven.

It would’ve made more sense not to have evil in the world,you could still have the free will to accept or reject god.
God is good. Would you know what is good without the presence of evil?
Man is a mixture of good and evil. The devil is a fictional creature. I can think of a thousand things evil men have done, but I can’t think of one thing this so-called devil has done that would warrant a death sentence.

More sense to you, with an IQ of 0.1 on God’s scale. You sound like a four year old complaining to his parent, "It’s not fair that I don’t get a turn driving the car to school. "
Or, "Mom, you’re cooking that ,turkey wrong. Let me tell you how to do it. "
In other words you can’t have an opinion on god because he is so far superior to mere mortals.

So can people sin in heaven?

So can people sin in heaven?
People could. Whether they will deliberately choose to do so, knowing God as Father, Brother and Life, is moot, but IMHO unlikely.
However, the sacrifice of Christ is a perpetually efficacious, it will not cease to have effect after the resurrection. It will continue to provide forgiveness to repentant human sinners forever. So, inadvertent sin in heaven would have a remedy.

No. Our nature is changed and unlike Adam and Eve, we will have hindsight to see where disobedience to God leads.
