The “God doesn’t want robots” argument doesn’t seem to stand up. Because that would seem to imply that we’ll be robots in heaven when we are perfect.

Re: “The “God doesn’t want robots” argument doesn’t seem to stand up. Because that would seem to imply that we’ll be robots in heaven when we are perfect.”

I disagree. It is true that we will have a new body, but believers already, in this life, have been made “a new creation”. It is also true that our sin, our sorrow, our imperfections, our pain, in heaven, will be gone. It is also true that the Scriptures say, “we will be like Him, because we will see Him as He is” - I do not see any reason to assume that we will have no ability act freely - we just won’t have to struggle with a sin nature anymore. All fulfillment will be ours as we will be in His presence forever. The test is over. The suffering is over. We will freely fall down to worship Him, because when we see Him, our only response will rightly BE praise and adoration - not because it is forced, but simply because God is so awesome.
