For Christians?

Question

U say that Adam and eve were created sinless and perfect but cause of free will they choose to sin. So my questions are:
1. If God gave humans free will why did he got angry when they used it?
2. When u get to "heaven" will u have free will, if yes then will u be able to sin in heaven?

Thank you for your answers, but your just saying, that people will not sin in heaven, but you are not saying why, and will they have free will, if we will have free will in heaven then there will always be a possibility for sinning.

+ angels were also perfect but they sinned, even in heaven

Answer 1

GOD gave Adam and Eve free will to make the right decisions on their own, but they made the wrong choice when they disobeyed him and ate of the forbidden fruit. And you totally leave out the part where the serpent (Satan) tempted them and said it would be alright. Satan is allowed to have his way with us, it all depends on how strong our minds and our hearts are when it comes to worshipping God. We are all sinners, and we all make those choices by letting the devil in sometimes, and we shouldn't listen to what Satan tells us to do...but sometimes it just happens. That is why there is church and the Bible for instructions on how to live the way God wants us to live. Through the blood of Christ and accepting that he died for our sins, we have eternal salvation....a Gift from God who loved us that much that he sacrificed His only Son to pay for the sins of the entire world. As far as Heaven goes, we won't have Satan up there with us and he will never have any control over what we do anymore.

Answer 2

1. The Bible contains a record of the covenants (or agreements) that God made with mankind. The first covenant with Adam and Eve was a covenant of works. The summary of the agreement was this: God gives a perfect paradise to Adam and Eve with the stipulation that they do not eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil, and that if they eat from that tree they will die. It's like a contract and Adam and Eve had but one obligation. They purposefully chose to break that contract, God delivered on the consequences that he had set forth: Adam and Eve and every person born since them has died.

2. There were other covenants in the bible, the Noahic, the Mosaic, the Davidic - but the one that Christians are under today is called the "New Covenant" that Jesus established. (That is why the New Testament of the bible is called a "Testament" as in "Last will and testament")

The New Covenant is not a covenant of works but of grace. Jesus paid all of my debt on the cross, I did nothing to earn this favor. When I submit my life to Jesus he changes my heart and gives me the power to overcome sin in my life - again I have to do nothing but trust him. I will have free will in heaven, but I have asked God to change me, I have submitted my will to him and he is molding and shaping me every day so that I sin less and less. When I get to heaven I will no longer want to sin. He is not doing this against my free will, but in cooperation with my will.

I hope that helps?

Answer 3

God (like a father) made rules. You disobey the rules you get punished. Simple as that. Adam and eve made the wrong choice and suffered the conseqences.

When you go to heaven you will be perfect. Perfect beings don't WANT to sin.

Answer 4

Do u have kids? If so you want your kids to do what is right. But you have to at some point turn them loose and let them make choices. (When they go to collage is a good example) Then you find out that your little girl has become a dyke, or your son is a drunk & failing classes. You get mad at them because you tried to teach them better.

Next Q. Free will yes. But No sin. You must prove your willingness to work at overcoming your sins here in this life or you will not be in heaven. In this life, the flesh is weak and will fall back into sin. But it is the heart that God is judging. He will give you free will in heaven, but you will not be weak there and you will not want to sin. So you will have the strength to not sin.

Answer 5

1. God gave us free will to choose between right or wrong. How could He rightfully judge us if He had never given us these choices.

2. Sin has no place to dwell in Heaven. Sin will not be allowed into God's Kingdom. Neither will iniquities. Therefore use your time wisely, for God comes like a thief in the night.

Answer 6

The concept of "free will" is laughable.

God is supposed to be omniscient: He already knows what you will do and whether or not he is going to send you to Hell. No amount of choice on your part would be able to change that.

Free will and an all-powerful God are mutually exclusive concepts.

When things go wrong, "Free will" is the lame excuse provided by Christians because otherwise they would have to admit that their God is flawed.

Answer 7

Corruption was already a part of creation. Satan was already fallen, and his angels, which are said to be one third of heaven.

What God promised those who are saved:
1 Corinthians 15:52
In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed.

Adam was corruptible. We will not be corruptible.

What I see is that Satan was around and needed to be separated from creation. It wasn't good enough that he should be running around on Earth. So Hell was created for him and his 'angels'. Then Adam and Eve came along and were corrupted.

God knew that all this would happen before He ever created the worlds. He wanted to make men anyways. It was pleasing to Him to have the fellowship that man represented to Him. So even before the time that He created man He decided to save man. Hence He is : "The Lamb Slain before the foundation of the world."

So as I see it, the answers to your questions is:
1) They disobeyed Him. He said not to touch that tree, and they touched the tree.
2) No. We are promised to be changed to incorruptible.

Answer 8

I do noy know the answer but I think those who are in heaven will be sinless through the blood of Jesus I do not believe any would want to sin..

Answer 9

.1. there were 2 choices...in their free will, they chose to rebel against God's commandment...they coudl have chosen just as easily to obey God....the free will did not cause the sin....the choice they made did....

2. in heaven the sin nature will have been destroyed...so there will not be sin in heaven.....and heaven will be the result of the last free w ill choice on earth...

Answer 10

we arent perfect , God gave us free will , he didnt go angry of us , he got angry of what we did (sin) , we rnt going to heaven unless we are good people , with pure heart , that doesnt deny that we sin sometimes , its in our nature , but that doesnt deny that we can be pure hearted adn full of love , we r going to get rid of our body when we go to heaven , only our souls will be in the presence of God , there is no urge to do any bodily thing so that we sin
