How old will you be in Heaven?

[SalixIncendium]

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

First, you're stating beliefs as fact without qualifying them as opinion.

Second, you're debating in a non-debate thread.

Third, I'll thank you not to impose your boundaries upon me that you've placed upon yourself.

 

[wellwisher]

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 you get older in this life, especially adulthood, middle age, and onward, you will still fell younger until you look in the mirror. Then you may say, "who is old dude."

It appears the brain sort of has a more youthful view, looking outward, with elderly people, often becoming younger in mind, as their body grows older and more feeble. I tend to think your mind, in heaven, will be in that timeless zone of youth, with the body; vessel, your own option.

Now we have no choice, but to be a person, young at heart, in an aging body. But heaven will be paradise, with young at heart, able to tinker with various age/avatars, as way to get more experiences, make up for lost time, and renew the older experiences.

Obviously they are only my opinion do I really need to state that?????

What else would they be?????

Everything I say is only my opinion

I'm not so big headed as to think every thought I have is objective truth

Per Rule 8, yes, you do.

Rule violations.

Good to know. But this disclaimer doesn't absolve you of following the forum's rules.

Perhaps you should include this disclaimer in every post...

...or at least be impeccable with your word.​

OK if it's really so very important I will put a disclaimer in my signature

I kind of thought it was obvious I was only stating my opinion

I only have opinions..... but maybe some of those are actual truths, how would I ever know!!!

Putting a disclaimer in your signature won't protect you from a Rule 8 violation.

Of course it's obvious to you. Not so much to everyone else.

I only have opinions..... but maybe some of those are actual truths, how would I ever know!!!

With supporting evidence, opinions can become knowledge.

Well, it's there now anyway

With supporting evidence, opinions can become knowledge.

Interesting

First off Heaven is not going to be the same as life on earth no matter what scripture you follow, second its eternal in all scriptures and lastly it only for those that are worthy I doubt the form you end up with will be anything like the form you have on earth.

 

[Soandso]

Where are you citing this? Certainly not from the bible

So you're just making things up

 

[Kfox]

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

Thanks for answering my question.

 

[Jimmy]

So you're just making things up

I’d like to call it contemplating life and finding answers.

 

[Kfox]

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

So if I currently see my deceased grandmother as an older, wiser, person that I've always looked up to, once in heaven, I will no longer see her as older, wiser, nor someone to be looked up to, but just equal to myself?

 

[Kfox]

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

What is "you" when the body dies?

What's your perspective?

 

[Kfox]

Everything depends upon how God remembers you and possibly how people remember you though not necessarily.

What does that mean? Is there only a certain time period of your life that God remembers, and he forgets the rest?

 

[Kfox]

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.

Humbly,
Hermit

Would you be able to experience and recognize other souls there?

 

[Kfox]

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

Humbly,
Hermit

If I connect with my grandma whom I currently look up to as older, and wiser than myself, will I continue to see her that way in heaven? Or will everybody be equal.

So if my older, wiser grandma wants to be 18 instead of 65, I will have to contend with her being my equal and no longer someone I can look up to?

 

[Sumadji]

Is eternity a state of time extended infinitely into the future, or a state outside of time?

 

[SalixIncendium]

What's your perspective?

Heaven is not a place one gets to after death. It's a state of being achieved through dispassion, detachment from the physical, and equanimity that is attainable in life.

Age is limited to the physical body and the mind and is limited to the world...limited to space and time. In my true nature, I am ageless. I am neither the body nor the mind.

Everybody is young in heaven
