Will everyone go to Heaven?

This is a highly controversial question. Yet, the answer is actually much more obvious than people realize. If you've read the previous questions in this series, you can probably already answer this question for yourself. To understand the answer, we need first to understand the difference between heaven and earth. Naturally we could anticipate many differences. Yet, as we saw previously, one of the most significant is that heaven is God's dominion where He has total authority. God sets the rules in heaven and everyone submits to them and abides by them - period.

Mankind has dominion in this reality. We set the rules. We have independence from God in the sense that we don't have to do things God's way. Our freedom of choice allows us to defy God's choices in favor of our own. In heaven, that cannot happen. We will not be able to defy God's authority when living within His dominion.

This leads us to the next logical question. Will God force anyone to submit to His authority in heaven? Consider that the answer to this question may be found in our reality. It appears evident that God is a big advocate of free will. After all, it seems apparent that this entire universe was created so that we could experience freedom of choice away from God's authority and dominion.

Of all of the traits that He could have given us, the ability to freely make our own choices was perhaps the most supreme. Given His prioritization of our free will, it doesn't seem consistent that He would force everyone to submit to His authority in heaven. So, the question really isn't Will everyone go to heaven? - but Will God force everyone to submit to His authority? The answer to that question is apparent - God honors our choices at all costs.
