Hey all so I’ve been looking to understand free will and I’m having trouble. Basically, God gave man a choice to follow him or suffer the consequences for not following him. I’ve seen some discussions of what the point of free will is and I’m confused!! Usually I see responses like “well God doesn’t want us to be robots.” So…. what’s wrong with being that robot? If there is just so much peace and love in heaven with God, why would anyone necessarily want free will? Besides, the devil was an angel and he chose to rebel, so either way there is still some free will??
Also the book of Revelations is so important to this question. The heavens, hell, and earth will all end one day and those that chose to follow God will be in His new world. So is there free will in this new world? I’ve seen many say no to this and also say that those in His new kingdom will be rid of the desire to go against him or have ungodly desires. If this is how the world will end, what is the point of this free will system?
