Lol

Read vs 16 of that chapter, reference was made to the former troubles being forgotten, not the human beings you interacted with being wiped off your memory. You will be forgetting the sorrows, the pain, the animosity and troubles between parents and children, all those things will be things of the past to be forgotten and remembered no more in the new heaven and the new earth.

This scripture even has a follow up scripture in Revelation 21.

I know . Let's look at this this way

1. People who you interact with can cause you pain , grief , sorrow even predicaments

2. People who you interact with can cause bring joy to you . And you need to bear your predicaments caused by 1 in mind to enjoy your happiness and be thankful .

3. People you interact with can bring both sorrow and joy .

4. What about loved ones who didnt make it to heaven ?

etc

So how would the memories of these events involving 1, 2 , 3 and 4 be expurgated . Let's be realistic cos you'd be having flashes of happy life on earth without remembering how you got there . E.g Loved ones that who made you happy but failed to make heaven . I mean you'll feel sad and sorrowful immediately and that's not in accordance to what is written .

I think a divine awareness of a new life would be installed in us , not needing to remember our past lives . You know like a new born baby , no memories , just ready to start his life

Mmmh...
I really can't say but there is no scriptural backing to this thought pattern though. However, those books that give testimonies of people's visit to heaven and hell (I don't call them authority in the subject but...), they testified of seeing people they know and even recognizing Abraham and Enoch and other patriarchs the moment they saw them in Heaven.

I believe when we get there, it will be like a reunion sort of *smiles* and for those who may miss it, their loss won't steal our happiness full time. It may just be like meeting your mum for instance and after the excitement of reuniting with her, you ask of a cousin or someone and she says something like, 'oh no, I haven't met the fellow yet' and you both will just shrug and hope for the best or be sorry he missed out. I still want to go back to Lazarus again, it wasn't Lazarus who felt depressed seeing the rich man in hell but the rich man was the one crying 'Had I known'.

Sister amicable , you don forget say na Abraham's bosom not Heaven oo .

I ready buttressed my point with a bible verse . People who visited heaven are on a mission by God , the aforementioned bible verse is talking of what happens before the eternal reign of Christ . The heaven the op is talking about is the one we'll be in when God will be with man eternally

The question of Time.

All through the book of revelation, we see the bible prophesy about 7 years of tribulation and 1000 years of reigning with christ and various other emphasis on time. Now my question is this:

How would you be able to estimate days, weeks, months and years in heaven? On earth, we get our idea of day and night, and time in general, by the effects of the earth's rotation and revolution around the sun. So, how would you calculate 7 years when you are in heaven? Is heaven also a planet that orbits the sun?

stop lying for god jare
what of angels no be heaven they day and some are fallen?? lie lie ediots use ur brain

GoodMuyis:
The best answer to all these question is try to experience it, you know what i mean?

You might gives good explanation, if you have the opportunity

Decker:


If you can only understand by experiencing it, then how are you sure it's going to be an enjoyable experience, enjoyable enough to spend your whole life seeking for, or even sacrificing for?

GoodMuyis:


Do human look like angel OR are we created in the image or nature of angel?

In Heaven we will be like God not angel. Am not telling you where this is in the bible, but go and read the book 1st John, all of it

Stop Lying Jare Pls Bro What Are Angels Made Of?? Wait!! Didn't God Create Us In His Own Image B4

No . Its not scriptural . And its because of purgatory Catholics are morally depraved . They are culpable for any decadent society where Christians are preponderant . They believe peccadilloes will be dealt with mild punishment before they'll go to Heaven - now that's the reason they commit sin .

Can't you see Latin America and the high crime rate there ? Its mostly Catholics that perpetrate these crimes and every damn time I defend Christians there knowing fully well that its because of their doctrine - purgatory - their adherents engage in vices .

Sorry for digressing , I just wanted to let that out of my system .

Should we now proceed to the next ?
