Perhaps some of the theists here can help me out? According to Christians, humans committed Original Sin because we are sinful by nature, and have been given Free Will, so we can act on our sinfulness. Also, accepting Jesus does not eliminate our sinful nature, but we are forgiven for it. Also, there is no sin in Heaven.
So, what changes when a born again Christian goes to Heaven? Do they lose their Free Will? Or do they lose their sinful nature? If someone loses their sinful nature, which is part of what made them human, what have they become? They certainly aren't anything like the being that was alive! Seems like the only choice is that you would be like someone who has had a lobotomy, so you still, technically, have "free will", but no desire to act on it.
This does not sound very appealing to me.
