For by a single offering [himself] he has perfected for all time those who are being sanctified” (Hebrews 10:14, ESV).

Yes or no is a false dichotomy?
Which verse in particular? It looks like just a bunch of rambling to me.

So then you seem to be saying that, no, we won't sin when we get to heaven, and the reason for this is that Jesus sanctified us, or clothed us in righteousness, or whatever. Now please explain why God didn't simply make us that way to begin with. After all, he was capable of doing so, and he prefers us to be in that state, right?

The parameters or limitations of your decision points is what makes your premise a false dichotomy.
Which verse in particular? It looks like just a bunch of rambling to me.[/QUOTE]
Which reveals much. You only want to use selected Scriptures or generalizations of theological themes from Scriptures to fit your preconceptions.
Do you know the overarching message contained in both the OT and NT?
Put another way fill in the blank: The Bible tells us the story of _____.
Answer that question and you will understand your entire line of questioning is null and void.

If you don't like the flow map, you can still answer the basic question: Will you sin when you get to heaven? Yes or no is not a false dichotomy. Period.
If my intention is to cherry pick then why am I asking for clarification on those verses? I would simply ignore them.
There is none. You all have invented one.
OT: Satan hardly even exists, there is no afterlife, God often kills and rarely shows mercy or love, God favors the Jews to the point that the religion is not even meant for Gentiles.
NT: Satan is a major factor, the afterlife is all that matters, God rarely kills and shows infinite mercy and love, God suddenly loves us
A group of men who regularly engaged in rape, slavery, and genocide decided to draft a system of morality with the core idea being that if you slit an animal's throat and swab its guts all over an altar, then a wrathful deity will forgive you because he enjoys the smell of burning flesh.
You're giving a long list of non-answers.

By all means, if that's not your position, feel free to say what it is. I've gotten nothing from any of you so far.

Maybe it's a false dichotomy, because sin has no meaning in heaven, for some reason - like if you ask a snake if he is left-handed? (I am just taking a wild guess here LOL. It would be nice if @redleghunter would explain what he meant. Guessing is fun too I suppose.

If sin has no meaning in heaven, why was Satan exiled?

Maybe exiling Satan and his followers was the means of purging sin from heaven? Of course, it depends what "sin" means. Is it possible for "sin" to be so completely purged that asking a human resident of heaven if he/she can sin is like asking a snake if he/she is left-handed?
One definition of sin is for your personal will to conflict with God's will. If residents of heaven are so close to God and so thankful to God, then maybe it would be like asking if God Himself can sin? How can God disagree with His own will?
