How old will you be in Heaven?

[Kfox]

If you die young and strong, will you eternally be young and strong when you get to Heaven? How about if you die when you're old and weak? WIll you eternally be old and weak in Heaven?

As far as I can see, when you get to “Heaven” you’ll relive your same life on a new earth.

So you don't get to connect with your loved ones who died before you? Is this new Earth as painful and full of suffering as our current Earth? Do we start as babies and eventually die of old age on this new Earth in Heaven?

With loved ones, yes.
Painful and suffering, yes.
You start as you started this world which could be from zygote to 100+.
Die, yes

 

[Soandso]

With loved ones, yes.
Painful and suffering, yes.
You start as you started this world which could be from zygote to 100+.
Die, yes

My thoughts

 

[InChrist]

If you die young and strong, will you eternally be young and strong when you get to Heaven? How about if you die when you're old and weak? WIll you eternally be old and weak in Heaven?

I believe that those in the heavenly, eternal state will be ageless and in a new resurrected bodily state or form which is perfect.

My thoughts

Our own thoughts can simply be our imagination or deceptive.

What is "Heaven?" Is it a physical destination?

What is "you" when the body dies?

Everything depends upon how God remembers you and possibly how people remember you though not necessarily. A Christian going to heaven expects God to remember the good not the bad. In ancient times the most important thing in many cultures is to be remembered, and this also was (and probably still is) important in Jewish culture. Most Jewish scripture to me seems to place a lot of import on being remembered, though this could be a turn of phrase referring to having children and not strictly memory. Whatever our interpretation of heaven, memory is important: what God remembers, possibly how we are remembered by people, too. You can see that the Christian is strongly influenced by the Jewish though is not the same. Its just one interpretation of Christianity; but when something is not remembered it is truly gone and when remembered: not. Even if you are talking about having a spiritual body etc there is still a lot about how God chooses to remember you. In most interpretations of Christ the memory of you is important. The following are poetic or lyrical passages, but in mystical religion they are relatively important:

[Job 24:20 KJV] 20 The womb shall forget him; the worm shall feed sweetly on him; he shall be no more remembered; and wickedness shall be broken as a tree.​

​

[Psa 136:23 KJV] 23 Who remembered us in our low estate: for his mercy [endureth] for ever:​

​

[Isa 65:17 KJV] 17 For, behold, I create new heavens and a new earth: and the former shall not be remembered, nor come into mind.​

​

[Psa 109:15-16 KJV] 15 ... that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth. 16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart...​

As it transcends any worldliness, it is likely that “heaven” be both timeless and formless. It is your “soul” (your pure being) and not your body that dwells there.

So you don't get to connect with your loved ones who died before you?

I’d say that in Heaven, you’d connect with all that [is and] has been - including the “souls” of your own loved ones.

There is no way to possibly ever know

I don't think it is even worth thinking about

It cannot ever be answered

Does it take much effort to maintain those barriers you've built in your mind?

They are well worth it as they exclude pointless speculation

Like angels on a pin-head etc

What exactly happens beyond death is behind a veil of ignorance and that goes for everybody

You’ve not read of any of Jimmy’s over 11,000 posts on this forum before now?

 

[Stonetree]

A Catholic priest told me and a friend that in Heaven we would be 33 years old. The reason for that is Jesus died when he was 33 years old.

Because you choose to reinforce and remain content behind that veil of ignorance, it arrogant to presume everyone else does.

 

[Eddi]

The veil of ignorance cannot be lifted

By anyone

To think it can is a delusion

At least not before you pop your clogs

Personally I like things that way

I like surprises
