Bible Question: Thank you for your answer, but it did not answer the question I had. I'd like to know How this sin happened in Heaven which is pure. After the end of days, when we are in Heaven, could this sin happen again? |
Bible Answer: Hi again Kay, Just wanted to make a few "uneduated" comments here. As I stated earlier specifically "how" sin could have happened in a "pure heaven" is not touched upon in the Bible (as far as I can tell) as the fact that it did happened. Could this occur after the end days when all is restored? I think not for two reasons: (1) all tha angels that did not rebel against God have proven their loyalty to God by not joining in Lucifers rebellion. Such loyalty is, may I say, "eternally engraved" in their will and heart. (2) Believers have already proven their loyalty by holding on to their faith until death. They have shown that no matter what, their choice will always be made for God. As the song goes, "If I can make it here [on earth], I can make it anywhere." As such, their faithfulness is also "eternally engraved". I think the Bible makes certain hints that the above is the case but I don't have my Bible at hand at the moment. If you want some verses, let me know and, as soon as it is convenient for me, I will post them for you (although, I do think as you read this, some Bible verses may pop up to your mind). |
