How Do You Respond To The Enduring Question?

No arguments but would like to hear your views.

How can a soul in heaven be happy with the knowledge that a loved one's soul is lost?

 

MY understanding is that the knowledge of the lost one does not exist.......

 

I think the myths and stories made up by the world's religions do not lead to any happy souls in heaven, nor even in this life now.

 

Interesting question, Boris. My mother's people are Mormon and they believe that you will know your loved ones in the afterlife. My father was not Mormon and spent many hours debating this very question with his brothers-in-law.

 

Wife's older sister is Mormon as are her kids, grandkids, and great grandkids.

Anyway, I've never gotten a satisfying answer even from members of clergy.

How you feeling these days, Beth?

 

We have a lot of Mormons in our family but my dad wouldn't allow his children to be raised Mormon; he objected to many of the teachings and had his own well-worn copy of the Book of Mormon.

I'm feeling OK for the most part, Boris. I think if I could shake off the fear and anxiety I'd actually feel fine. No pain or anything, thankfully. Thanks for asking.

 

FWIW, best wishes and prayers.

 

I never think or worry about it.

 

My sister told me just yesterday told me she'd feel bad when she was in heaven with the rest of the family, knowing I went the other way.

 

Silly stuff, to me.....

 

You can be sure of one thing when you depart this Earth:

Oblivion.

 

Millions or even billions of people are "sure". And wrong. Very sincere people, totally wrong.

Although oblivion might be the finality for them after judgment... they don't get to enjoy unlimited, immeasurable peace and joy and righteousness in this life, at all, nor in the next.

Instead they suffer from delusions now, today, all their lives, in this life, until confronted in the end after death with judgment, whatever that entails for them at their certain judgment.

 

I'm gonna miss you guys when I get to Heaven.

 

In the life to come after the resurrection, those who are raised(from the grave) and judged and nor redeemed are not remembered in the resurrected life later, by anyone, apparently, according to all the available facts, evidence, Scripture and faith and what has been revealed by the Father from heaven.

 

As written, she won't feel bad when (or if) she is in heaven. There won't be any feeling bad, any sorrow, nor any memory nor remembrance of the wicked.
