The sky is bluer, the trees are greener. People talk of heaven, but maybe we are in heaven and don't know it. - D
God gave us all freewill,Satan rejected him.
How can heaven be any better than Earth if it is subject to the same problem of free will allowing beings to choose evil?

Come on now, this is not Heaven. Read what the Bible says about Heaven and ask that question again. Satan rejected Him and fell from Heaven. A world of corruption, poverty, sickness, famine, death, & etc is not Heaven. A world where religions are attacking other relgions is not Heaven. I've seen death before my eyes and how the heck can someone die in Heaven? God gave us free will on Earth. Our will on Earth whether it remains ours or we follow God's will will determine if we see Heaven. If the world as we know it is Heaven, then there is no point in following religion, because that contradicts what the Bible decribes Heaven to be.

That is something many people wonder about. But we are not in heaven. There are only 144,000 chosen anointed ones who are going to heaven. As for hell, it is basically the common grave of mankind. Revelation 14:1 states "And I saw, and, look! the Lamb standing upon the Mount Zion, and with him a hundred and forty-four thousand having his name and the name of his Father written on their foreheads." I hope this helps and if you have any other questions, feel free to email me and I will try to answer them for you.

To answer the last part of your question: I think free will is transcended b/c in heaven you get to be God. It has to do with holographics: 1) Everyone element in a system is endowed with the same information as the macrosm and 2) if we focus on (or observe) an infintely small micosm it ceases to function as an individual unit.
There is no place that is not part of heaven. But b/c of our corrupted beliefs, we have propagated our own hell. There is no reason to believe that universal laws are suspended, we just twisted them around and/or are anaware of them. If we could expand our field of perception, we could see all the wonders God has in store and realize that we have never left. Just look at the fantastic abilities where people are able to paint pictures based on images of numbers, see colors rise up off of a musical keyboard, or read with nothing but their hands. Clearly the 5 senses are not limited to the body alone, psychologists have known about these for decades. I myself used to be able to taste colors.
Hindus believe that everything we are experiencing is God's mind while in a dream...they are very real to us, but not to God. He just sees us sleeping in his kindgom.

Living on earth is like a test. Once the test is over and school is out you have the rest of your life to pretty much do whatever you want to do. The difference is that in eternity we will be free to truly be all that we can be in Jesus Christ for all eternity and get to praise God and be with God's people all the time. Think about it and God bless.

Take a look at Luke 10. And remember, 'the kingdom of heaven is taken with violence'.
It is a lot closer than you think.

it doesn't allow beings to choose evil your obviously not a christian and if you are you seriously need to get down and study the bible coz the thing is why would you want to be evil if your in heaven? no one wants to go to hell, and this world gets badder everyday heavens supposed to be a place of relaxation and enjoyment.

Look at it like a 'T' on the left you have heaven, on the right you have hell, and at the bottom you have 'earth'. For example if some one took a microscopic scrape from poo and put it into a glass of water, would you drink it? even though it has been contaminated with disease and bacteria? that is earth, Heaven is free of all sin and 'poo' and Hell well... is just the opposite.

Angels were given an single oppurtunity to choose and no redemption. We are given our whole lives to choose and redemption is at hand any time we choose to take it. And if this is heaven why am I so miserable and in so much pain. The other thing is-where does it say we will have free will in heaven?

Well that couldn't be because the Bible states that heaven is eternal. We definitely do not live eternally here on Earth.
