First comes temptation ... then the fall. There will be no temptation to sin when we get to heaven ... there is no temptation to sin in heaven.

If satan had not tempted Adam & Eve ... would they have sinned? No

If satan had not tempted the angels to sin would they have sinned? No

I don't want to sin ... but I sometimes yield to the temptation of satan and I do sin .... and I ask for forgiveness and repentance ... thank you Lord Jesus for your love and grace. AMEN!!

Looking forward to the day this no longer happens and won't even cross my mind. AMEN!!!

Our freewill in heaven and going forward will be for good only. Our will being in line with that of the creator.

I have a big problem with this persons apologetics especially when it is couched with the current culture. His quote:

“I actually think when we get to heaven, we see sin clearly for exactly what it is,” McDowell argued. “The lure is completely gone.”

This person clearly has no understanding of what Jesus Christ of Nazareth did for humanity and how it is transferred into " incorruption".

"Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed—in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality." (1 Corinthians 15:51–53,)

Incorruption means the transformed, immortal state of the resurrection body, which is not subject to death, deterioration, or the effects of sin.

The incorruptible state granted to believers in the New Heaven and New Earth signifies the complete and final eradication of sin, not merely a resistance to it. As explained in scripture, our Father explicitly forbids anything that defiles from entering the eternal city (Revelation 21:27), confirming that sin simply does not exist there, allowing the redeemed to live in a reality of absolute holiness and perfection.

But there shall by no means enter it anything that defiles, or causes an abomination or a lie, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s Book of Life.

Be blessed.
