Think we'll know each other in heaven?

[for_his_glory]

I'm sorry, but I have to respectfully disagree with you there on that one. I find it really hard to believe that once we both get to Heaven that Joey and I won't recognize each other.

Since scripture says we will not know what we will appear like other than having new glorified bodies and not this fleshly body I have no idea if we will really know even our own family members nor will it even matter as we are all brothers and sisters in Christ. There really is no way of knowing until we get there what we will look like other than knowing we will be like Christ in His glorified body.

True, but I just think that it would be considered really sad if we didn't recognize each other and since sadness doesn't exist in Heaven then I really do think that we'll know each other.

I am not sure, but I would hope so! I can't think of a reason we all wouldn't recognize each other.

I believe that's carved in stone that we will. I mean, think about it...one body, one faith, finally unified in Christ and Christ in us...we will know each other. You may be a hand of the body, but you know your own foot...right?!

 

[JPPT1974]

Oh yeah we will know each other in heaven. And that when your names in the Lamb's Book of Life. We will be like brothers and sisters in Christ.

 

[Edward]

Yeah, one big family.

I believe all of our beloved pets will be there too.

1 Corinthians 13:12

Verna, who misses her beloved Ronnie very much, quotes this to me often. I dunno...in Heaven, the past will be wiped away, we'll be perfected and made...truly whole, Real, even. New names, the whole shebang. And yet...

as brothers+sisters in Christ, it stands to reason that we'll somehow be made to know that the glorious creature before us was once..."your sister lisa" or "your brother Edward" or...all that. I don't know how exactly it will work out, but it will be a joyful sort of knowing...knowing that so and so from the fallen world is also an overcomer, in Christ Jesus.

 

[LovethroughDove]

We'll know each other. There is a guy on here that we were debating eternal hellfire and he doesn't think there is, but we agreed that it really didn't matter cause we'll be seeing each other on the other side. So yeah, we'll know who's who.

 

[for_his_glory]

It's just one of those questions where we will find out when we get there.

No Disney in heaven ,as in Disney corp

all Eve had to gain from eating that fruit was the knowledge of evil.

Amen! That's what He showed me.

I also kind of hope that we're all wrong about Bible prophesy to some degree - whether we're pre-trib, mid-trib, no rapture at all. One day we'll see it all played out and be like "Oooohhh! so that's what it meant!"

You know it! This is one of the things I want to talk about with Enoch; what did he think it meant when he wrote all his prophecies about Christ? Did he see it happen in real time, looking from heaven as it was fulfilled? What things surprised him?

I know God will have many surprises, for all of us ... the big thing is to be living in such a way that we avoid any unpleasant surprises, and that's a communal thing

what if my wife wants to see me but I don't want to see her?
How does that work?

All I know is that if Paul is going for a boat ride...I'm not going... even if it's on Noah's boat.

 

[Razeontherock]

Maybe he can get Peter to go with him? Lol

 

[Razeontherock]

All I know is that if Paul is going for a boat ride...I'm not going... even if it's on Noah's boat.

Paul shipwrecks the boats, Peter gets out of the boat and assesses the damage, walking on water in the process; who runs the business of raising the boats up out of the water, Lazarus?

 

[OzSpen]

I do. I think every ability we have now will be enhanced. I think every reality we can experience now will be more real. In short, I think our eternity has already started ...

I need biblical support for such a view. Can you defend it from Scripture?

When on the Mountain of Transfiguration Peter seemed to recognize both Moses and Elijah...and he had never seen a picture or met these guys before. (Obviously)

How did he know who these guys were?

 

[Rollo Tamasi]

I owe a guy $10.00 from 1971.
I haven't seen him for almost that many years.
When I get to heaven, will I still owe it to him?
With interest?
what are the current rates up there?

Knock a chunk off the street pavement...it is gold...all will be good.

Do you call that experience knowing one another in heaven? Was Peter in heaven?

 

[JohnDB]

Well...I know that I don't know how Peter recognized the two patriarchs he never met or seen a picture of. But I assume that it has something to do with the "knowing" that will happen in Heaven.
