TILL
I took my argument and applied it to "natural evil" rather than evil that
may result from human decisions made by so-called free will, so why don't
you try to deal with this?  Would it be possible for a god to create a
world
in which there was only evil that resulted from free will so that natural
evil (earthquakes, floods, tornadoes, etc.) would not exist?

So that you won't be able to accuse me of evading your question, I will
point out that we have already discussed the issue you raised about a world
in which there is "genuine human freedom and yet no possibility of sin."
Don't you recall that I asked you several months ago if God has free will,
which would be equivalent to asking if God has "genuine divine freedom"?
Don't you remember that I also asked you if God can sin?

I don't recall seeing your answers.

And I don't recall Matt answering whether or not a Christian would sin
once he got to heaven.  If a Christian would not sin, then does this mean
that he would lose his free will?
