    1 perspective
    Reason for
    ?

    • 2.A character fixed eternally in heaven removes the ability to make new free choices that could alter one's moral disposition.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak

    • 3.Genuine libertarian freedom requires the real possibility of choosing otherwise; predetermined heavenly character eliminates this.
      ?

      Think about whether this reason is strong or weak
