The Problem With Free Will Defense

Paul in Kansas asks, many of the theodices I've heard on why God would allow so much suffering in the world are predicated on the necessity and goodness of free will. Is this a literal place where believers are gathered with glorified bodies who love God? Does not this new state of existence also require the presence of free will?" And yeah, that's an interesting question. Are we somehow experiencing free will in a different way in the new creation that doesn't mean the possibility of the great? It is a great question. But be careful what you do with that because it does lead you into strange places.
