:::::Then doesn't this bring us round to intuitionism? The idea that humans inherently know what is good and evil, and although we can be influenced by decisions, it is still down to the human to make that choice, and as a result even two people who have agreed on almost everything can disagree on some things as well. --[[User:Metatron|Metatron]] 19:31, 29 December 2007 (EST)

:::::(Replying to Qwestor) That's a good question, but I don't believe that the Bible anywhere says that in heaven we will be ''incapable'' of sinning. Perhaps it's more a matter that we will simply ''not'' sin, and being in God's direct presence might be the thing that "prevents" us from sinning. It's a bit like a parent leaving a child alone, and the child gets up to mischief in the parent's absence, but while the parent is there, he behaves. You might respond that God could have made it that way from the beginning, and yes, I guess He could have, but that's where I'd point to my second reason, of not appreciating good (and not appreciating free will) without experiencing bad (and bad choices). By the time we get to heaven, we've had that experience, and "proved" that we ''can'' make our own choices, and have made the right one (to accept God's Lordship), and even though in heaven we will still have free will, we don't need to keep proving that by doing the wrong thing. That might not be quite on the right track, but hopefully it demonstrates a possibility. [[User:Philip J. Rayment|Philip J. Rayment]] 01:20, 30 December 2007 (EST)
