Ever expanding family of God

Hi Gena,

Actually we do have a first hand account of someone (other than Jesus Christ) who did personally experience the heavenly "paradise." It was Paul from whom we get most of the New Testament teachings from.

2Co 12:3  And I know that this man was caught up into paradise--whether in the body or out of the body I do not know, God knows--
v. 4  and he heard things that cannot be told, which man may not utter.
v. 5  On behalf of this man I will boast, but on my own behalf I will not boast, except of my weaknesses.
v. 6  Though if I should wish to boast, I would not be a fool, for I would be speaking the truth. But I refrain from it, so that no one may think more of me than he sees in me or hears from me.
v. 7  So to keep me from becoming conceited because of the surpassing greatness of the revelations, a thorn was given me in the flesh, a messenger of Satan to harass me, to keep me from becoming conceited.
v. 8  Three times I pleaded with the Lord about this, that it should leave me.
v, 9  But he said to me, "My grace is sufficient for you, for my power is made perfect in weakness." Therefore I will boast all the more gladly of my weaknesses, so that the power of Christ may rest upon me.

He certainly is a good enough withness for me.

mercy, peace and love

Speaking of family, I remember wondering ( back in my church years) how in the world were all the people who are supposed to go to heaven going to get along when even small familes can't be at peace under the same roof. Even more confusing was the idea that we were all going to be happy while we could visually see our "lost" family members in hell. What a mess we were taught and all of it was supposed truth!  :o
