Christians: Is it possible to have free will without evil on earth, like there is in heaven?

Question

MY point is that some people say the reason god allows evil is so that we can have free will. If you can have free will without it, then why did he create it.

Answer 1

Absolutely, evil has only been allowed to remain this long so that the challenges Satan made against God could be resolved, to never again be repeated. Satan did not raise any question as to God’s strength. He did not challenge Jehovah to use his might to destroy him as an opposer. But he did challenge God’s right to rule and the rightness of his way of ruling. Also, he questioned the loyalty of God’s creatures. So it was a moral issue that had to be settled.

Once settled, wickedness will be done away with. The righteous ones left on the earth WILL live with free will in the abundance of peace.

Answer 2

That depends on your belief. We have free will, but then because we are all born under sin, we are imperfect. We make decisions out of ignorance or blatant disregard for what is correct. Considering this, we will never achieve, on our own, an Earth were evil is eradicated....not without God's help. We've had many thousands of years to try, but yet failed miserably.
As for heaven, it is written that Satan not only turned against God, but he convinced a third of all the angels to do the same. Given there perfect state, and their free will, they knew the consequences without a doubt, yet they did this "evil" decision of their own choice. Comes to show that even bad things can happen in heaven, though I doubt this will ever happen again.

Answer 3

the first premise of your syllogism is defective with the aid of the indisputable fact that's a controversy somewhat than a fact (i.e. because it does not inevitably save on with the life of a captivating God negates the prospect of evil. Mackie's argument is likewise defective when you consider that he assumes (or looks to anticipate) that the 'completely actualized' international might want to comprise what I take to be a biblical concept of heaven, and that i see no reason to anticipate this. also, loose will skill basically that, that's loose. You, I, and the 6+ billion fools on earth are loose to do precisely as we desire, kill, love, in spite of. Our decision. era. finally, you look arguing from the standpoint that there must be both a biblical kind or an atheist kind, and with information from doing so inexpensive the beliefs of a minimum of three/5 of the international. basically because the international does not make sense in accordance to the biblical kind does not propose that there is not any God. in case you do not favor to believe that God exists, then do not; why justify your concept with anti-biblical diatribes? there are countless fashions, many diverse information about how the international works; a lot of those comprise God, minus the narrow creationism espoused with information from many Christians.

Answer 4

Yes. I'm not sure what else you want me to say except that Adam and Eve had freewill without being evil before the fall and that the only reason our freewill leads us to sin is because we are born sinners but when Christ takes away our sin with his help we can use our freewill without being evil.

Answer 5

Good question. But I think we would have had some free will without Evil if Eve hadn't listen to that conniving snake...

Answer 6

Can choices be made freely? Sure. I can't see any reason why not.
