If I go to heaven, can I visit relatives who might be in hell?

To some, that could be a punishment worse than hell.

It will only happen if it your karma. It doesn't mean that you will come back in the same family but if there are things unresolved between people then most likely you will have some connection with them in a future life.

Hell might be fun ;)
Seriously though, we can't make presumptions about something like this. If you disagree with the written word then disagree with it.
I have seen several opinions thus far in this thread, but not a single piece of the written word to back any of it up.

Funny that.

Really?
I must have missed that verse.

Would you please be so kind as to present the relevant verses?

I wouldn't know where to find it. I am speaking based on what I know Christians believe. Do you now of verses that contradict what I said?

What are you talking about?

For those who believe in heaven and a reunification with loved ones (which I don't), I've always wondered what "age form" they think we'll take.

If we all died tomorrow, presumably, grandma doesn't want to go to heaven as her old frail self, but instead, a younger version of herself in her prime. And my young niece would feel cheated if she can't take a more "grown up" form.

Someone will be disappointed.

So my question is, what age are we when we get there, and if it's whatever age we want to be, my niece will likely take an older form than my grandma which would be very confusing. How will everyone tell each other apart?

:biglaugh:

I am not going to do your homework.

Why is it my homework? I don't feel that I need to be providing Biblical quotes. I just provided my opinion based on what i understand of Christianity. If you don't agree then tell me why.

ah.
I understand now.

Unfortunately, I cannot answer that question.

Because you made the claim and I know of no part of the Bible that confirms your claim.

I don't feel that I need to be providing Biblical quotes.
Fair enough.

I just provided my opinion based on what i understand of Christianity.
Again: Fair enough.

If you don't agree then tell me why.
I do not agree nor do I disagree.
I am fine with being honest enough to admit I do not know.

You were the one who answered his question as though you knew.
I was just hoping to increase my knowledge of the subject by learning of the verses that support your opinion.

My opinions are based on what I hear from Christians again and again. I'm surrounded by them. But I have not read the Bible.

I have a brother who is gay and according to some, that means he is going to hell. I love my brother and I was just thinking about how awful it would be if I ended up in heaven and he went to hell. Is there any chance that I could take a field trip to hell to see him?

There is no heaven or hell, you'd better party now.

Greetings!

>If I go to Heaven, can I still visit relatives who might be in hell?

Given that Heaven and hell are spiritual conditions, not places, and that our scriptures say we'll still know each other and interact with each other in the Next Life, this should be no problem whatever!

Peace, :)

i don't think the Xian bible says any of this, some church doctrine might.
