Wisdom. Someone here once said, and I use it a lot... "Knowledge is knowing a tomato is a fruit. Wisdom is knowing not to put it in a fruit salad"...

I don't believe that. I believe when we obtain our new bodies, we will be wired so differently that we will not overlook anything, or have to really remember anything, for we will know as we are known. Thinking we will continue in the same style of bodies is something I do not find in scripture. 1 Corinthians 15:35-54 But someone will say, “How are the dead raised up? And with what body do they come?” Foolish one, what you sow is not made alive unless it dies. And what you sow, you do not sow that body that shall be, but mere grain—perhaps wheat or some other grain. But God gives it a body as He pleases, and to each seed its own body. All flesh is not the same flesh, but there is one kind of flesh of men, another flesh of animals, another of fish, and another of birds. There are also celestial bodies and terrestrial bodies; but the glory of the celestial is one, and the glory of the terrestrial is another. There is one glory of the sun, another glory of the moon, and another glory of the stars; for one star differs from another star in glory. So also is the resurrection of the dead. The body is sown in corruption, it is raised in incorruption. It is sown in dishonor, it is raised in glory. It is sown in weakness, it is raised in power. It is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, “The first man Adam became a living being.” The last Adam became a life-giving spirit. However, the spiritual is not first, but the natural, and afterward the spiritual. The first man was of the earth, made of dust; the second Man is the Lord from heaven. As was the man of dust, so also are those who are made of dust; and as is the heavenly Man, so also are those who are heavenly. And as we have borne the image of the man of dust, we shall also bear the image of the heavenly Man. Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; nor does corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I tell you a mystery: We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed— in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible has put on incorruption, and this mortal has put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written: “Death is swallowed up in victory.” Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe we will get those big heads like little green men so we can store everything. Guess what.......it's worse then you think: but just as it is written, "THINGS WHICH EYE HAS NOT SEEN AND EAR HAS NOT HEARD, AND which HAVE NOT ENTERED THE HEART OF MAN, ALL THAT GOD HAS PREPARED FOR THOSE WHO LOVE HIM." I Cor 2:9 I guess its hard to learn and hide my ignorance at the same time, chuckle on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even Paul stated that he didn't have all the answers. 1 Corinthians 13:12 For now we see in a mirror, dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part, but then I shall know just as I also am known.

When I wrote chuckle, I put the silly face to try and show how I meant it. I posted the verse that tells us that absolutely none of us, according to God Himself, can imagine all that He has planned for those of us who are in Christ Jesus, His Son. I'm not thinking you are ignorant at all. I think God Himself puts questions in our hearts so we will search His word and find answers. That's how I really meant things. I guess those smilies, cute as they are, just don't always convey things right. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Im not upset with you Sevenseas, you didnt say that, I said that to let others know that I know im really short on knowledge about this subject and I am. This subject is not something to put a lot of time into I know that too. It was just a thought and I wanted to here others thoughts. I kind of thought you had a chuckle because I said massive amount of knowledge, which caused the thought to pop into your mind of big heads. I see how you could get a chuckle, thats cool. I was not offended and sometimes im to direct I apologize for that. The fact remains I think we will need quiet a bit of info we do not have now before we can oversee angels. which still leaves me pondering how quick it will be given to us. To me it seems odd we could be in Heaven less than 24 hours and be overseeing angels. I do sometimes make my responses to short which can be mistook. And other times I just can not find a better way to express my thoughts. alls good Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
