1 | Will we recognize loved ones in heaven? | 1 Cor 13:12 | Glenn | 249 | ||
Yes is the short answer. Scripture is quite clear that we will recoqnise those we knew on earth. Equally, the bible is clear that although we will know loved ones we will not pick up where we left off in this life. We are told that none will be given in marriage in heaven. | ||||||

Would you please give scripture evidence for this answer? My Bible does not seem so clear on the point. | ||||||

I do not think any verses really address this. However, it is a reasonable assumption that our loved ones who are saved will be recognizable to us. We all have our same bodies, although they will be glorified. It is not a stretch to believe we will be able to recognize one another; but, frankly, I think we will be more interested in the recognition and worship of Christ. | ||||||

There is evidence that though we will have recognizable features of our old natural state, there are be significant changes after the resurrection. The evidence is found in the physical sighting of Jesus after the resurrection. On the road to Emmmaus, the disciples were not able to recognize Him until a moment of "spiritual unveiling" occured. The natural eye was unable to make the connection to of the resurrected Jesus to the pre-resurrection Jesus. | ||||||

That is not evidence, but a faulty presupposition. There could be two reasons, at least, why Jesus was not recognized. 1) is the reason you give: that He appeared so differently that He was not recognizable; 2) that the two on the road were supernaturally prevented from recognizing Jesus. Why this would be so, we don't know. But there is really no "proof" of either reason; no Scripture texts. We can only guess at it. | ||||||

Your note seems argumentative. If you insist on "evidence" in the Grego-Roman sense then really very little can be concluded about much of the scripture. Look at NT writers proof text when they use the OT text. They are not citing clear "evidence" but rather drawing inspired inferences from the text. My note was certainly not intend nor did for I mean for it to be the the end all and be all of the the question at hand. It is only one text that suggest that there is a legitimate "presupposition"-to use your misuse of the term-that after the resurrection there is something that changes in our physical person. If one is wanting arguementiveness then what does one say regarding the reports of those long dead being reported as being alive after the resurrection of Jesus. We can infer that there were those who "recognized" them as they had been in their old state? Certainly this "contradicts" what I said earlier. Truth ususally come in paradoxes-the way up is down, life through death etc. If you want "proof" then I suggest you are seeking after empirical evidence that is heresay and not admissible in a court of evidence. Namely-the witnesses are long dead. That's why we are called people of "faith" not people of "facts". Only the Holy Spirit can reveal truth. Jesus own words condemen those who seek to gain knowledge of God using the 5 senses and the limited capacity of intelligence (John 5:39)exclusivly. This is not to be interperted as anti-intellectual, only that we must never become over reliant on intellectual reasoning and knowledge to lead us to Truth. | ||||||

I was not trying to be argumentative, but rather to make a point. So, I suppose you could be right; my note might have SEEMED argumentative. That does not mean that it was meant to be so. | ||||||

I have often wondered why those that were closest to our Lord didn't recognize Him. One reason could be that in those days men often wore their cloaks over their heads and it was not always easy to see the face unless looking directly into the man's face. It's possible that Jesus walked up along side the men on the road and watching His steps He never faced them. As for the others, perhaps He came up to them as they were crying. Often times people won't look up to see someone who's talking to them because they don't want anyone to see them crying. Maybe the tears blurred their vision. There are all kinds of reasons. I never thought about it as being a spiritual blindness but perhaps a little more study might make it clearer for me. ...God bless .....Pixie |
