Heaven and sinlessness
nikolai_42
What is it about heaven that makes it a place of sinessness? More
specifically, if the gates of the New Jerusalem are always open, what is
keeping the wickedness out?
God is holy. Those who are interested in being holy
will live with him forever.
1 Pe 1:16
Why the necessity for (from man's perspective) a great length of time to
"bring many sons to glory"?
He’d like a family.
What is preventing another fall of man…?
Been there done that. Our new family agrees
—God’s way is the best way.

Yes, kingdoms are based on families.
You're not his (2
Pe 2:1).
As a reminder jamie is number 18 on
Satan, Inc. (TOL Heretics list) in "The 'Jesus
is not God' people (Non-trinitarians) category.

Why does God's desire for a family (assuming that is the right word)
require time.
Why wouldn't it? The Lord may return
whenever he'd like. He'll decide when our family
is large enough.
[“Men are judged for what they’ve heard and what they would have heard
had they listened.”
~ Adrian Rogers] And that concerns me...not least because it means it is
up to man to decide whether to "continue on with God" or not. Satan, you
will recall, had far more understanding of God (and his ways and who He
is) than Adam and he still rebelled. What is keeping that from happening
again (whether by angels or redeemed men)?
You sure worry about a lot of things and
you're not in your glorified body yet.
Don't bring tomorrow's troubles into today. You have enough to worry
about (Mt 6:34) just getting through this life (Re 3:5).
When you get your glorified body, you will be
impressed. You'll look and be marvelous.
You look marvelous!
