Hi Gena,
I saw this in your post.
What is the purpose of being a family if we are in a spiritual vastness called "all in all".
Maybe if I can share what I think about this it will help you. To be "all in all" is when all come to be perfectly one with the Father. Here is a scripture that shows we are to be 'one' with the Father, as Jesus and the Father are one.
John 17:21 that they all may be one, as You, Father, are in Me, and I in You, that they also may be one in Us,
The Elect are now in the process of being made into the image of God, so when we are born into the kingdom, we will become perfectly one with Christ and the Father.
John 17:23 I in them, and You in Me, that they may be made perfect in one;
Jesus was perfectly one with the Father on earth and everything He did was exactly according to the Father's will. But Jesus Christ is a separate being from the Father, even as they are 'one,' He came from the Father.
John 16:28 I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
So anyone born into the kingdom at the first resurrection will also be perfectly 'one' with the Father as Jesus christ is. But we will remain separate beings with our own personality, even as Christ is one with the Father, He is not the Father.
When all of mankind is brought into the kingdom to be one with the Father, then we will have "all in all."
1Co 15:28 And when all things shall be subdued unto him, then shall the Son also himself be subject unto him that put all things under him, that God may be all in all.
I hope that was of some help
I also have a couple of emails from Ray concerning the life on other planets.

peace,
Is it possible that God has at some time created life on other planets?
Christian
Dear Christian: Well, certainly not in our Solar System. No planet in our Solar System can sustain life. For what purpose would there be life on other planets? Jesus died for the sins of "the WORLD," not the sins of interstellar space.
God be with you,
Ray

Dear Azza:
The statement is based on science/astronomy, and the Scriptures.
Jesus died for the sins of the "world," not the sins of the "universe."
Eve is the "mother of all living," etc., etc., etc.
I should think that all people know that interstellar space travel is
physically impossible. Even traveling at millions of miles an hour,
there are very few places that one could go in less than a thousand years!
Everything is TOO FAR AWAY.
God be with you,
Ray
