To all those who say we will be free in heaven:
Does this mean I should wait for this, while others who have longer to live will continue to suffer.
If to end this suffering for everyone, I would happily choose Hell and take on the world's suffering for myself.
In other words, if I do not see peace among others, I will not accept peace for myself. If I WERE to accept peace, it would be on condition that I could share my peace with all of mankind.

Yes. To the extent that we love God and love other people AND love ourselves, we will be free.

Nope, there is the regulation and then there is human beings around you judging you all of the time. we are all born with those seamlessly invisible barriers around us, i assume whilst in comparison with what human beings had to flow by using formerly we are particularly fortunate to be in the international we are in now. i've got constantly had to stay as an exceedingly loose individual for a million 365 days with some human beings, just to verify the way it might play out. i've got constantly had a picture of a small, cutting-edge-day village have been there is not any regulation and persons all have been given alongside, have been all of us have our very own roles and known jobs and have not have been given any impact from the outdoors international or this is governments, yet this is purely me :) So somewhat no, we aren't loose, yet once you examine it to different international places nonetheless around at present...

Sure.
When you die or when Christ returns, whichever comes first.
Until tha ttime, however, we have to realize tha twe live in a sinful, fallen world. We are called upon each one of us to struggle to make it a better place and in some places and in some ways we have. But we have a long way to go and liekly will never be truely free of inequality, hate, poverty, etc until one of the two things I mentioned above occur.

All your points of freedom are regarding what others do...and is out there and outside of you.
True freedom is found within. Someone who is truly free of the grip of money does not care if they are rich or poor - so even poverty is not a problem. Someone who is truly free loves and does not care if others hate him/her. Someone who is truly free is not affected by terrorism...for they do not fear death. Someone who is truly free can not be controlled and coerced (oppressed) because again - they do not fear death so what can you do to control them?
Freedom is found within.

believe me it is not all that it is cracked up to be, I spent 2 years, free from the grip of money, I never had any and yet all of my needs were met.
at the same time we were all equal sharing with each other,
without any animosity toward each other e had to pull together.
there wasn't any worry about terrorism,or oppression, without electricity, TV, or running water, or indoor plumbing.
believe me it is no fun running outside in the middle of the night, with it pouring down rain, or snow to do your business.

Only when we enter the kingdom of heaven. We came with nothing we leave with the same. Its what we do in between the Lord will judge us on. He will forgive your sins. For the people who are oppressed it will be a long wait.

It can happen one day when all the people of the world will have the freedom of free open thinking and free expression!

When everyone stops asking if "WE" will ever be free, and starts asking, Will "I" ever be free? And, then following the path that that line of questioning leads down...
That is when I believe a change will be seen. But then, the question is, who would perceive this change?
And that, my friend, is all in the "I" of the perceiver! *wink*

When we accept Jesus' teachings and put them into practice, yes.
And that isn't a slam against any religion. I believe in the tolerance, love, and grace that Christ speaks about.
