If heaven is only for those completely free of pride, it is going to be a quite lonely place. Lord help us all Sometimes it seems some of us take a contrary position just to be contrary. 8~)
Do you really imagine there's going to be human pride in heaven? Consider the fact that human pride is what got Adam, Eve and the rest of us into so much trouble in the first place.

And so it did.

Exactly. The new heaven and earth is the "end game" - the Final Cause - the "rest of the story." God's Name is I AM and Alpha and Omega.
