That assumes we will have the same mental makeup in heaven. From our earthly perspective, yes, your post makes since. However, I think there is no possible way we can fully comprehend how we will be, or how our new Home will be in Heaven.
Amen!!
I think it is a GREAT question, not dumb at all. I can only speculate.... it God's handiwork, the Universe, is telling of His mind, then it surely will, but probably not in the way we can imagine. I certainly don't think there will be "poor" people in heaven.
Interesting, and quite plausible given the intellectual and physical paradigms in which we now operate. But our new bodies and the minds with which we will operate there may not be subject to the same rules of the sphere of logic which currently governs—indeed, limits—our various rhetoric, heuristic, and dialectic reasonings in this life. Therefore, in the absence of clear Scripture on the subject, it is dangerous for us to pursue a line of thinking that leads to a not particularly happy thought about what God has for us in Heaven. We are told He has treasures and wonders for us there. I do not think the lack of free will would enable us to fully enjoy them. Robots lack the ability for true enjoyment because any emotion they feel is programmed into them or, at least, guided by what they are allowed or not allowed to reason or do. Thus their "enjoyment" of anything is only a mechanical construct. Therefore, I believe free will is necessary to enjoy Heaven. And do not the angels who inhabit Heaven have free will? They surely do, or one third of them would not have risen up in rebellion with Satan. It's an interesting topic you raise, but sometimes we need to apply Deuteronomy 29:29. Our work here should be to share the wonders of God's love for us and the glory of His promise to us, not raise issues that cast a shadow over that promise and—frankly—insert a little doubt into the actual nature of that love..
