and we have free will, the only logical explaination is that nothing wil be a sin anymore, like it was before eve ate the fruit or whatever. well, then wouldn't lying, and sex and homosexualit be accepted? i'd pay good money to see a fundamentalist enter heaven only to find a bunch of gay sex! lmao

the question is, dumba$$, would homosexuality be allowed in heaven?
2006-09-03 16:58:39 · update #1
and, how will god pull of the whole free-will thing with no sin?

You misunderstand what Scripture teaches. We are not sinners becasue we sin, we sin because we are sinners. In other words; we sin because it is in our nature to sin, when we go to heaven we are given glorified bodies, and are sanctified, mix this with our new nature, and we will no longer have any desire to sin. Despite our free will, we will not wish to sin, nor desire it, and thus there will be no sin in heaven.

Dear Athiest Joe, It appears you are at least thinking about spiritual matters, even though you know the question is silly. So rather than me answer it, for it has been answered adiquately already by others, let me ask YOU a question....
You claim to be an athiest apparently, so how can you honestly say that you know there is no God? The definition of an athiest is someone who KNOWS there is no God... Have you really considered all the evidence??? I don't think so, so why don't you take a step closer to the light and fess up that you "just don't know"???
Honesty is really the best policy in life, so how about being honest with yourself and all others... you really do not have the necessary facts to 100% say that there is no God; so how 'bout it Joe... admit it; you are really an agnostic! If you will admit this you will be at the correct side of the fork in the road to find even more truth... happy trails!

The first thing that someone should be considering is whether the idea of sin is actually real.
If God is supposed to be perfect how could She have made anything or anyone that wasn't perfect.
Think about it. The idea of sin assumes certain things about God that seem highly unlikely.
First it assumes a God who is too incompetent to organize a simple educational field excursion and figure out a way to get all of the students home safely.
How likely is this that God would not be smart enough to come up with a plan for our salvation that is going to work?
It also assumes that God must have created us imperfect if we are sinners.
One might assume that God would be able to create someone perfect each and every time if he chose to. Assuming God is capable of this, then it follows logically that we must be perfect creations if we are actually creations of this perfect God.
Unless of course you are saying that God chose to create us imperfect.
If God created us imperfect then anything that may go wrong is Gods fault, not ours. This seems a bit illogical at best so I think that we need to assume that What God creates would have to be perfect.
If this is the case and Gods creations are perfect, then nothing that we can do could change what God created perfect and make it imperfect unless we think that we are more powerful than God is.
How likely is it that we the creation could be more powerful than the creator. I personally find this idea somewhat amusing, and a bit absurd.
Religion tells us that God is perfect. If this is true then it could hardly be logically for Gods creations to be considered to be anything less than perfect.
If this is the case then Nothing that we can ever do could possibly change this perfection that God willed, unless we were so powerful that our choices could override and change the will of God.
How likely is that????
Think about it.
The idea of sin is simple nonsense; a lie made up about God by religion.

In the spiritual world, the eternal kingdom of God, everyone is so attracted to God and to serving Him and everyone is experiencing such a bliss by doing that, that no one is attracted to sex or other sense gratification. There are so many varieties of services to God there, by which we can experience unlimited enjoyment beyond our wildest dreams. And the so-called enjoyment of this world, such as sex, become simply insignificant compared to that joy. People who have tasted the bliss of serving the Lord, spit at the pleasure of sex.
So which pleasure do you want to experience? Temporary, which last for few minutes, or eternal? If you want the eternal pleasure of serving the Lord, you must start right now to learn how to taste it, so that at the time of leaving this body you can enter the spiritual world.

God detests homosexuality, therefore it will be no longer. Lying is a sin, if someone chooses to remain a liar, then they choose not to follow our Lord. Therefore they will not be with those that have chosen the Lord's way. It's that simple. Anything that is a sin now will be a sin then. Anyone who chooses to sin in anyway will not share in paradise with others who do choose not to sin anymore. The temptation will be removed to sin.

The Bible says that there will be no sin in heaven. God wrote the Bible which means he uses his terms and definitions for words, not some people's sick interpretation. Sin is sin. In heaven we will be in such awe of God and His glory that we won't want to sin.

Revelation 21:27 - "But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb's Book of Life."

you have missed the entire point. because you have free will, you have the ability to do as God wants as well as do things God hates. God is master of heaven, and only lets in those who are either: A: perfect, or B: made perfect through Jesus. If the fags and liars are willing to repent and let Jesus make them perfect, they will no longer have the desire to do those things. they will make a free will decision to follow God's rules, which is also a free will decision to no longer be butt pirates.

The bible states that we will be as the angels. They have free will and are neither male nor female in that they do not procreate.
So, as pleasurable as we find sex to be on earth, heaven will have pleasures far better than we can imagine. The pleasures in heaven will not be dependant on another fulfilling them, so no sex.

Based on your ridiculous interpretation of the Bible and what it represents, I think the only sin that was created is You!
Someone else was right on here, you'll be paying alright, but it won't be money.
