1 | Do you know people in heaven? | Bible general Archive 1 | Goldengirl | 2929 | ||
I believe we will know all our family in heaven and I also believe whole-heartedly that my animals will also be with me in heaven! I know many disagree with that and it is their right too, just as it is my right to belive my way. Why would God create us and the animals to be together and interact if when we died and went to heaven we did not know anything about each other?! I also think we will NOT remember our lost loved ones. | ||||||

Paul wrote the Corinthians: Ch. 14:12 "For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known.." We have been known better than we know anything! Everything is going to be completely different. The cares of earth will not be ours in heaven, how could we really be concerned about things of this earth or even the people we know now in time? Our trust in going to heaven must be in God Himself and not in the experience we will have or not have. We will know God also as well as we have been known. If we really think about such full knowledge of God we are likely to be consumed with Him and not with anything we know now. Remember to factor in the Luke 24 account of the risen Lord was not at first recognized by two men who knew him before He was risen. |

You said it your self, was not AT FIRST recognized. He did not want to be recognized until the proper time. Every thing has a proper time. I respect your right to interpret Scripture as the Spirit leads you, and the same applies to all Christians. It is interesting and enjoyable to get differing spiritual understandings of Scripture, but it all fits together like one perfect puzzle in the end! | ||||||

Really? I wonder why ask the question--that is what I was really challenging with my answer. Anything short of the other worldly desires is playing up temporal experience, a great error in much of Chrisitian life. Why would we really care who we see or know in heaven, like submitting our own questionaire to see if it is good enough for us? What a let down if I don't get just what I want in heaven, and I'll define what I want on this side of glory! A sham of real glory at least! Who do we think we are? God has us (those who trust Him, not religious experience) with Him in eternity glorified and without pain and without sin and most of all in His presence, and we'll know Him. We'll know Him! What else matters! Nothing!!! NOTHING!!! |

I do not believe there is anything temporal about wondering what heaven will be like, as a matter of fact I feel that it is a benefit to dig and dig for spiritual depth in the Bible. We were given minute details about many things in the Bible, and it is my belief that it may have been done that way, #1 because God chose to do it that way and possibly to make us keep digging for more to learn in His Word. I get great spiritual blessings and enjoy pondering about the "mysteries" of the Bible. my wondering about heaven has nothing whatsoever to do with questioning whether or not it's good enough! I know without a doubt it will be far greater than anything we could imagine because that's what God's Word says. Yes, we will have glorified bodies and dwell with the Triune God, but I believe part of my happiness will also be having my loved ones as part of the heavenly family also!!! | ||||||

Hoping for what is known only from earthly experience is hardly a quality example of truly wondering what heaven is like! I sure hope you are not under the impression that you have given scriptural evidence to back up your idea that your pets and loved ones will be known in heaven. My observation is that you talk lots about your belief's but you don't evidence these so they can be shared by someone else. Mysteries are mysteries. By the way which position is truly embracing the "hope of glory and mystery of godliness", the one that wants heaven inclued knowns from now or the position that doesn't know who will be recognizable or not and doesn't care? Which position is most consistent with the gospel of grace, the the (first) example that wants specific things to be part of the experience or the (second) example that hopes for God only, and that by faith. An experience is what heaven will not be because experience is in time and space. When we are in eternity we will be outside of time and space in dimensioned history. The whole thing is upside down from our current thinking. How could it really be any other way... |

I base my beliefs on the entire Bible, which I have read more than once, not just a few verses taken out of context. Just because I am not J. VanImpe, who has memorized practically the entire Bible, does not mean I don't have Scripture to back up my beliefs, which I have the right to by the way. I do know where many things are located in the Bible, but there is one thing I do not believe in and will not do, and that is argue over the Bible. I learned a long time ago to not respond to insults and argumentative attitudes regarding beliefs, and I can and will give you Scripture to back that up!! 2 Tim.2 and Titus 3:9. I may not agree with yours or the beliefs of some other individuals, but as a fellow Christain I respect your right to your opinions and only ask the same Christ-like behavior in return. God Bless! |

Where was the insult you referred to? Who's arguing over the Bible? I asked questions and gave clear points on texts. Its called point and counterpoint. You do this all the time when you read the Biblel or anything, but now it isn't interesting because somebody believes something different for clearly demonstrated shared reasons, how could I have been more reasonable? | ||||||
