Well, I'm not sure it's that bad...Timmy just brought up a good point? He seems to think that free will will be suspended or something, in eternity? Prolly he would say "when you are in Heaven."
What do you think?
Or, you are allowed to, um, broach subjects (other than cesspools)
all by yourself? Don't be scared! I mean a negative comment on a negative? Lol
"What is the prob around here! Everyone is just like me! Lol

From the guy who wanted to know if there would be white pages in heaven... hilarious! You want us to add substance to the ultimate trivial drivel.

Peter says "In you go! But if you don't mind, would you watch the gate for just a little while? I have to, you know, take a break. You know how it works. Will you, please?" She agrees.
After a minute, her husband succumbs to his injuries, and shows up at the gate! She tells him the rules. "You have to spell a word, before you can get in to heaven." He asks his wife, "What word?" She says, "Chrysanthemum".
An oldie but a goodie.
Are we really ready to talk about free will yet; how you will always have it, and what that might say about your "going to Heaven," etc? What if you, um, ok, "went to Heaven," and sinned, ifthat model is correct? Free will on hold? Turned into an angel (they have no free will)?

What say you, fellow cess-poolers?
Did angels have free will once and only once, when each made a choice to follow Lucifer or not?

No, this is a common mis-conception, that the ability to choose = "free will."
Grace does not apply to angels; there is a sense in which they are...slaves, might be a good way to put it, on the run anyway.
