Why hasnt anyone solved the Heaven paradox?

>If God is all knowing, all loving, and all powerful why does he allow so much unnecessary suffering, like rape, torture, genocide, birth defects, etc
>Because free will
>Ok. But God created Heaven, an afterlife of eternal bliss with no suffering
>Yes
>So is there free will in Heaven?
If yes
>Then God can create a world with no suffering that also has free will, yet intentionally chooses not to
If no
>Then free will isn’t particularly valuable. We are going to spend an eternity with no free will, the entire end goal of our life now is to end up with no free will. What is 60, 70, 80 years of life with free will compared to an eternity with no free will? According to your own religion a life with pointless suffering and free will is less preferable compared to an afterlife with eternal bliss and no free will

    > Why doesn't he appear to each one of us so we know for sure that he exists and how we should live and what to believe?

    > Why did he choose a contradictory book loaded with bullshit and written in three different ancient languages to deliver his message? Was he unaware that the vast majority of human beings ever until about a century ago were totally unable to read it and were at the mercy of preachers who could have their own agendas or flawed interpretations?

    > Why is the Bible so unclear on fundamental issues that to this day, 2000 years after Jesus lived, Christians can't even agree on countless important issues like the nature of Hell or even what you need to do to be saved?

    > Why did he only deliver the gospel message in the Middle East? What about people living in China or Mexico at that time who weren't able to hear message for centuries (or even well over a millennium)?

    > How is god "good" when he ordered baby/child slaughter or did it himself countless times?

    > Why does God care more about mixed fabrics and shellfish than slavery?

    The only answers you'll get to questions like these are some sort of cope about "mysterious ways" or "God knows why," all of which are laughable copouts.

      The coming of a messiah was something already enumerated in the Old Testament, Isaiah is even called 13th Apostle because of how much his work seems to predict the arrival of Jesus.
      > Why doesn't he appear to each one of us so we know for sure that he exists and how we should live and what to believe?
      God appears to many people in many ways, but even ignoring things like beauty and all that, Paul was nearly blinded when God appeared to him. Perhaps it's for our own protection.

      The Old Testament was for the israelites, was written long before Jesus about laws handed down even long before that. The culture that the laws were given to, and the context in which they were given had long changed by the time of Christ.

        Ignoring that many people claim to have met god didn't suffer any physical trauma, the story about Paul only appears in Acts (which is historical fiction) and wasn't corroborated by Paul at all so how can you come to that conclusion?

          regardless of your opinion of God it’s very obvious that Paul and the apostles genuinely believed in what they were doing. unless you are willing to offer a compelling alternative explanation as to why people directly antagonistic or indifferent to Christ’s divinity were suddenly converted and freely chose to die penniless and impoverished in defense of that then the Christian’s interpretation is the only reasonable conclusion

            Isaiah 53 is the fourth servant poems, the previous three explicitly said that the "servant" refers to Israel and not the future messiah unless you want to argue that this one specifically does.
            >suddenly converted and freely chose to die penniless and impoverished
            People dying or making sacrafices for their beliefs isn't exclusive to christianity nor is a sign that the belief was in any way true, just look at any other cult.
            As to why Paul turned into a christian, there are many possible explanations, but he himself has written that he had a personal experience which is a perfectly understandable reason, although it doesn't carry any objective truth value.

            it is evident with any modicum of good faith that Isaiah 53 is describing the messiah and the fulfillment of David’s line. that goes with the other songs as well - messianic prophesies of the Old Testament very clearly characterize there is to be a singular figure who achieves this.
            I never said whether or not the existence of martyrs vindicate said belief, only that referring to the events and people depicted in Acts as “fiction” is disingenuous.
            >it doesn't carry any objective truth value.
            how can a primary source explicitly accounting for his conversion through spiritual revelation not constitute truth historiographically? if anything, his conversion was completely unreasonable barring divine intervention, unless you want to elaborate on one of these “many possible explanations” you have yet to reveal

        Are you saying that sarcastically? Or is free will the best thing you could think of? If it is, enjoy it while you have it. You get to say and do whatever you want.
        But if you step out, you find out real quick it's not really whatever you want. There's people, cameras, police. So you have to be agreeable...

          He's saying it rhetorically you fricking idiot. The only defense against the problem of evil that's taken even semi seriously is the idea that somehow free will is valuable enough to be more of a crime depriving it than creating a world of suffering. We have cameras and police because we have logical reasons to want a peaceful society. If God has less concrete reasons than literal hairless apes, then he's lesser than dirt, and likely nonexistent.

    This world is a test, hence free will. God made the test. Your soul is fresh, new code. Earth is the Beta test. You either pass and get recoded for mass release(Heaven) or they decompile you and leave you in cold storage as an example of what not to be(Hell).

    God is indeed all powerful and could have made Earth like Heaven but that would defeat the purpose of both. Why have two identical utopias but call one Earth and one Heaven? Obviously God made two things for two specific purposes. We know the purpose of Heaven, eternal reward and life with out suffering. It's pretty simple and straight forward. The unknown is "what is Earth?" or better yet "for what purpose did God create Earth?"

    Obviously God made Earth with suffering and pain and blah blah blah. So it must all be for a reason just like all the good stuff in Heaven is for a reason, because it's good. The Earth is filled with bad stuff to make a real test of the soul. The soul is given true and honest free will then exposed to true and honest tests of character. What better tests then the worst things life can throw at you. Look at all the people who have horrors inflicted on them and go on to worship God, do good, and save others. Those people obviously got a hard version of the test and likely passed...only God really knows that part.

    There are some who say it's a level higher, that God and the devil compete for souls on a levelish playing field (Earth). The souls have free will and some are very much tormented by demons in human flesh. Is it a test, is it a civil war in heaven? A little of both if you ask me, but no one asks.

    God gave us an incomplete puzzle. He left instructions to fill in half of it, a number of remaining pieces only some of which connect to the finished half, and the rest is empty or scattered individual pieces that don’t go anywhere. We can only go on what we’re given which is simply not a complete picture. Maybe there is meaning in not having all the pieces. But whatever you do don’t be a Christian about it and draw a pretty picture where the empty spaces are and say wow thanks for the wonderful picture, and don’t be a Muslim and take the puzzle apart and try to put it together a different way to get a full picture this time. This is all just cope because people aren’t satisfied with what the Old Testament says, which is that you are but flesh and blood and cannot come remotely close to comprehending the will of God.

He's already an unbearable tyrant for creating people who will be eternally tortured for no real purpose. You can be a fully free and thinking human being without the ability to get erect at the thought of rape.

            if you’re going to claim another home brew mode of human nature and creation is within grasp of your intellect then go ahead and prove it - at the end of the day your headcanon sims game is just as delusional as the theists you mock.
            the only one who has to cope with the contradictory nature of reality is you. I fully accept my fundamental inadequacy in explaining the end goal of an ultimate creator’s plan. God’s knowledge of our actions doesn’t refute the fact that they are still meaningful to us or that freewill doesn’t exist.
            he created you to meet people like me because if you were actually some imperturbable obelisk of atheism you wouldn’t be here arguing with me. you have some small spark of faith within you which incites you to act on this insecurity, and I will be there to draw it out for all to see.

You made no arguments, just some bullshit about sims games, you can't even confront the most basic contradiction. A reality without the Christian God is not contradictory in any way. One with him comes with so many questions and arguments millions of people died over them during one war. I accept my fundamental worthlessness and inadequacy far better than you because I don't need fairy tales to tell me that I'm special and loved by the creator of all existence. You accept nothing of the sort when you believe you're a special little snowflake that's totally needed for the plan of the universe to work. God let me meet people like you because he doesn't exist, a homosexual like you saying his name would have been sent to hell immediately for sullying a divine existence with your absolute fricking idiocy if any such being even existed.

      the long and the short answer of OP’s question is that there is nothing that approximates our earthly experience of freewill with that of communion with God in heaven. so no, freewill does not exist in heaven

        fine, but then why does it have to exist on earth? the usual defense against the problem of evil invokes the alleged necessity of free will.

          unless the atheist is willing to prove that freewill - as realized by the soul’s expression of God’s image - is not a quintessential factor in the divine design of actualized soul building, then the objection only amounts to agnosticism at best. and how can the atheist possibly prove such an assertion which exceeds the very standard he foists upon the Christian? I have to stress the absurdity of essentially stating, “well if I was God then this wouldn’t be the landscape”. yeah no shit.
          who is to say that if God wanted to maximize the amount of man who comes willingly to the kingdom of heaven then He would allow a world simply suffused with suffering as a byproduct of his own gift of freewill upon man?

    >>Ok. But God created Heaven, an afterlife of eternal bliss with no suffering
    Heaven is not a 5 star hotel.
    The eternal bliss is being able to rejoice in the love of God. The whole point of your stay on Earth is choosing whether you love God or not.

        Several books were written about it, actually. You can find them compiled in a neat little collection called the Bible And even before that he sent a myriad of prophets to explain it to people. You are free to listen to their teachings or to ignore them.

          Yeah, several thousand. Each with different claims about everything. That's not informing anyone of everything. If I gave you a test, but told you to study 50 contradictory textbooks that are all just as easy to debunk, I'm not teaching you shit, I'm fricking with you for an excuse to fail you.

            uh no there's one Bible. There are many translations, to be fair, but most of them are not that that different, unless you sperg over a coma or something like that. Read KJV or NIV if the early modern English filters you.

            I'm talking about every religious book, but even then, the fact that your own isn't even agreed upon, just adds to my own argument. You can try to keep being obtuse, but it's pretty clear you've essentially conceded the point. Have a good day, be less of a homosexual because if your israelite God does exist, you should be scared of being burned forever for representing him like he's a genuine moron.

      No one said Heaven is a 5 star hotel

      It is an afterlife with no suffering that is obviously desirable

            Why would anything be pleasurable if we are no longer biological creatures? Food feels good because it feels a basic need, sex feels good because of instincts, exercise/self worth feels good because of endorphines etc

            You used the word good, but in order for that to be a concept you have to have a basis on which to be able to compare things and say that one thing is better than another.

    Let’s start from basics.

    Heaven is not a place where the ghost of you goes after you life ends

    God is omnipotent. Therefore he can do things that are incomprehensible to us and that break the laws of the cosmos.

    He is omniscient. He knows the entire history of time. He allows it to unfold even if there’s instances of suffering because he knows that the martyrs will be closer to him at the end of time.

      Actually, the whole universe was created by a huge magical incomprehensible turtle 10 minutes ago. All your memories are fake and were implanted by this turtle when the world was created from its butthole, This has been revealed to me after I smoked some bath salts and now I am here to spread the message of the turtle love

        It’s that cosmogony sustainable at a personal level and at a civilization level?

        It’s a nice argumentative trick. But you know you’re lying. You live in a materialistic framework in which all is relative and you are at the centre of existence a black hole if desire swallowing your life. Now, the real question is: how’s that working out for you?

          Works well for me, sorry that you have to literally brainwash yourself to feel content with life, but I guess it is better than feeling miserable.
          You are acting like a literal groomer by the way, hope you know that.

    Because now everyone has the knowledge and experience of sinfulness and evil, and therefore won’t want to go back to that. Adam didn’t have that knowledge. So while the first paradise (Gan Eden) was unstable, the second one (Davidic Kingdom) will be stable.

    >Why hasn't anyone solved something?
    Things can be established without absolute realization of their meanings, fossil fuels are great examples.

    But more than that, it would be impossible to solve something if the entity that you "solving" something to is biased.
