so when a saved person goes to heaven

shadowman · 10-03-2006, 02:44 AM

do they mourn their comrades in hell?

does god make them forget?

or is the rapture of heaven so great that they no longer care?

or maybe they view the people in hell as their enemy in anticipation of armegeddon?

do they mourn their comrades in hell?

No. They see sin as exceedingly sinful and sees things as God sees things and they glorify God. Moreover, they praise and worship God for they seen how God saved them when they were no better than those in Hell.

does god make them forget?

Nope. They see sin in its true light as well as see Holiness in its true light. They praise God for His Justice!

Right, you got it! No, Im just messin'. Ummm...ahhhh...was that a serious question, or were you just bored?

when a person goes to heaven they are changed. they no longer have the same desires as men did, they are given new incorruptible forms, and they praise the lord and worship him in his presence, and he is their light. as far as the past, it is no longer part of them. they are no longer married, they are all one family. and they are all glorified saints that god has called them to be.

Either way it is still the same side of God (He is not Janus). Just because we may become emotionally distant from God does not mean He becomes emotionally distant from us.

Lucky for us too, I suspect.

a. it appears to me while some of us answer with authority on this...it is all conjecture.

b. isn't it true that no one yet has gone? ie all of those going to heaven who have passed are still in the lobby waiting for the doors to open?

Some think so, others think differently. Both get their ideas from bible passages on the matter.

God does not damn man. Man makes his own choice.

When Jesus was on the cross with the 2 other criminals, he says to one of the criminals: "I assure you, today you wil be with me in paradise." (Luke 23:43)

After Jesus dies the doors then become open.

Or is it: "I assure you today, you will be with me in paradise." ?

Well mine sure do not. God is willing to forgive you 100% of everything you ever did wrong. So how does he not have compassion for you?

Ok cause you do not want to make that 1 choice you have to.

if a man says i will hit you unless you chose to love me. isnt that a little weird?

almost as weird as your divine creator saying i will send you to a place of unimaginable torment for an unfathomable ammount of time if you dont beleive in me. except that you dont have the opportunity to even hear him say it. and he created a ton of people that view him differently. and are going to be sent to hell for it!

Stay of the world and live the fun sex, booze and all for myself life for 70-100 yrs and die.
Live for him and live with him forever with everything.

Easy choice. Yep I am baffled why anyone would choose to die.
