Ray,
You said in your last e-mail: ".....There is certainly nothing good about a heaven that allows its guest to view their grandmothers and grandfathers, and maybe even their own children, being tortured in a fire of an eternal hell..."
I've heard it explained many times that "....when we get to heaven, we will not remember are friends and loved ones that are suffering in hell....."
The verse that is brought up for proof is Rev. 21:4: "........and He shall wipe away every tear from their eyes; and death shall be no more: neither shall there be mourning, nor crying, nor pain, any more....THE FORMER THINGS ARE PASSED AWAY......"
They emphasize that the former (or first) things are passed away and that in heaven, we will not remember those things.
Is this what Rev. 21:4 is saying? If not, then what is it saying?
Thanks!
Ramon
Dear Ramon:
Use your mind. God just told us what it is that will "PASS AWAY": "death, mourning, crying pain" etc., etc., etc. THESE are the things that "PASS AWAY."
Of what purpose would there be for us to have a human experience on this earth, and then when we enter God's Kingdom, we all LOOSE OUR MEMORY that we ever existed in the first place??
God be with you,
Ray
