Subject: What would prompt these tears? |
Bible Note: NO GROUNDS FOR THINKING THAT... Will we remember the sins of this earthly existence in Heaven? "Now pose the question in its toughest form. Imagine a believing spouse or parent who loved, prayed for, and agonized over a dear one who resisted the gospel and died suddenly in an accident. THERE ARE NO GROUNDS FOR THINKING THAT THIS OR ANY OTHER MEMORY WILL BE ERASED IN HEAVEN" (Hell's Final Enigma by J.I. Packer, emphasis added). ____________________ "To read the rest of Dr. Packer's thoughts on this subject, visit: http://ChristianityToday.com/ct/2002/005/27.84.html "J.I.
