Now, there's a discussion about the problem of the relationship between predestination and free will. I already wrote in one post that free will is one of the key concepts for Christianity; it is also the justification for the existence of evil. According to Christian doctrine, a person in any situation has the right to choose - to choose good or evil. This does not mean that there are only two ways of behaving in any situation! And there may be some intermediate options, more or less evil, more or less good. And a person HIMSELF decides whether to act kindly or maliciously; he decides in accordance with his ideas about good and evil, and he decides this issue even when he is not consciously thinking about it. Christian moral norms are only the most general recommendations for behavior; obviously, it is impossible to give a list of commandments for each specific situation!
Now, regarding predestination, God's will, etc. Here, the matter is understood as follows: God, when creating the world, created all possible scenarios for its development - that is, Adam could violate the prohibition, and he could not violate it. Then everything would be different:) And this idea - he could do it, or he could not, and from this come different results - is also very important. God is something that does not belong to the world and is not constrained by either space or time; being outside of time, he sees all possible paths of development. And a person's life - in this context - is a very long sequence of situations. A person finds himself in situation A; there are several ways out of it, and depending on which path he chooses, he will be presented with one of the possible next situations. In other words, a person does not depend on what situations will be presented to him (that is, on the one hand, he depends on it, since he determines this by his actions, and on the other hand, he does not, since the person himself often cannot even remotely imagine what will happen to him tomorrow; that is, he can imagine it: D, but it is unlikely that he will guess). But it depends on how these situations will be resolved.
That's how it is:)
Man proposes, and God disposes. :

In my opinion, the most beautiful embodiment of paradise is Valhalla, where valiant warriors, even after death, stand guard over the righteous cause. They feast while waiting for Ragnarok...
Personally, there is no better paradise for me.
So, your paradise (if you get into it) will be like that. It's very simple.
