Have you considered that Scripture is meant to convey concepts and is not intended to be taken literally and is not intended to be scientifically or historically accurate?
On the subject of heaven it was enough for David to know that: goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life, and I shall dwell in the house of the Lord forever. Did he need more details? Did he need gold streets or pearly gates or was it enough to know: … in your presence there is fullness of joy; at your right hand are pleasures forevermore. David was satisfied with looking forward to relationship with God not possible here.
I am told free will will exist in Heaven but what does that mean and what will cause people claiming to be Christian who are prejudiced, argumentative, selfish etc to change or will only the perfect be in Heaven? We are told there will be no temptation. James says temptation comes from within. Having our sins forgiven does not change the desire for sinful things. What will cause us to change?
Are we sure we have a clue?
