1 | family in heaven | Rev 21:4 | Lionstrong | 243361 | ||
Luke 16:27 “And he said, ‘Then I beg you, father, that you send him to my father’s house — for I have five brothers — in order that he may awarn them, so that they will not also come to this place of torment.’ Matt. 17:3 And behold, Moses and Elijah appeared to them, talking with Him. Peter said to Jesus, “Lord, it is good for us to be here; if You wish, I will make three tabernacles here, one for You, and one for Moses, and one for Elijah.†I think that it's unreasonable to think that we WON'T recognize our relatives in heaven. If the rich man in hades remembered his brothers and Peter recognized Moses and Elijah (his ancestral kinsmen) without ever having met them, why wouldn't we recognize our family? |

Lionstrong Your proof text Luke 16:27 is talking of a person in Sheol not a person in heaven. I believe we will know our relatives that are in heaven as you proved citing Matt 17:3. But I thought the question was would we in heaven know of our loved ones that aren't there but in the Lake of Fire. I think that would cause us distress and we are assured heaven will be stress free Rev 21:4 |

I don't know how stressed we will be concerning the execution of God's just punishment of sinners even on those who are our near kin, however, I do not think ignorance is a solution. Maybe it is sufficient to know that every tear (for those relatives not saved?) will be wiped away. | ||||||

Since the Lake of Fire is eternal punishment. I would think the knowledge of a loved ones suffering would be stressful. I would think it would fill us with a degree of regret or doubt, did we do everything possible to lead this person to the truth. Think of a parent knowing their child must endure such punishment even though it is just. However there may be some kind of disconnect from the physical feelings, love,hate, remorse, regret, anger,and such we now experience. It is possible that while we may know someone it won't be based on physical relationship but rather pure knowledge of the person with no physical emotions as we know them involved. |
