Heaven is always an interesting conversation since the Bible is pretty silent when it comes to the details. Denominations differ a fair amount on their 'official' stances/descriptions of the afterlife, but more varied is what individual folks assume about it.
Personally, I've consider heaven to be something of a unification with the almighty, including all the knowledge that goes with such a thing. The question then is if God has free will though he cannot do 'wrong'. More philosophically, can someone who knows everything really be considered to have free will in a causal reality (a la the book that boasted my namesake)? And finally, what assumptions we throwing behind the idea of free will; how truly 'free' are any of our decisions when we are time and time again shown to be slaves to subconscious prerogatives that can be manipulated by whim or circumstance?
