text: is emotion that causes sadness allowed in heaven or is it something that god would not control because of free will?  please, serious answers.  thank you. it's not that he wouldn't "allow" it, it's just that there will be no cause for it.  isaiah 65:17  for, behold, i create new heavens and a new earth. and the things before will not be remembered, nor come to mind.  psalms 16:11  you will make me know the way of life; in your presence is fullness of joys. at your right hand are pleasures forevermore.  revelation 21:1  and i saw a new heaven and a new earth. for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away. and the sea no longer is.   2   and i, john, saw the holy city, new jerusalem, coming down from god out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.   3   and i heard a great voice out of heaven saying, behold, the tabernacle of god is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they will be his people, and god himself will be with them and be their god.   4   and god will wipe away all tears from their eyes. and there will be no more death, nor mourning, nor crying out, nor will there be any more pain; for the first things passed away.   5   and he sitting on the throne said, behold, i make all things new. and he said to me, write, for these words are true and faithful.   6   and he said to me, it is done. i am the alpha and omega, the beginning and the end. to him who thirsts i will give of the fountain of the water of life freely.   7   he who overcomes will inherit all things, and i will be his god, and he will be my son.
