Biblical Characters?

[Dennis1209]

Eternity is going to be a very long time. As a Christian, we are a member of the family of God. Families interact, talk and socialize. I cannot prove it, but I think in our glorified state, we will have not only jobs, functions and assignments; but plenty of opportunities to meet, greet and socialize with everyone there. Why would we need our own mansion [room]; get out of the weather, for privacy, sleep / rest? That does not seem logical?

Who is one of the biblical characters, you would first like to sit down with and have a discussion, and ask questions of him or her? What question(s) would you ask, and why?

My person of choice would be Samson. You know the story, the Philistines did not have a clue why Samson was so strong. This strongly (pun) indicates there was nothing special about Samson's physical appearance. I picture Samson as this wiry little scrapper. If he was built like Mr. America or Mr. Universe, it wouldn't be hard to figure out, this man is not to be trifled with. 

I'd like to ask him; what were you thinking? From the beginning of the story, it was obvious to me what Delilah was fishing for. Do you sleep so hard, that you didn't realize you were having a bad hair day?

Your turn...

Firstly: I wish to talk with Jesus with zero sense of guilt or condemnation.

Secondly: Isaac. I'd like to ask him what he was thinking when he and his dad were preparing for a sacrifice.

Third: Moses. What was it like on Sinai.

Fourth: Paul. Desribe your time with Christ after Damascus.

There are so many that I would love to speak to, but I suspect that may not be what is important.

Hey that sounds great but I imagine it different because

 “But as the Scriptures say, “No one has ever seen, no one has ever heard, no one has ever imagined what God has prepared for those who love him.” Isaiah 64:4”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭2:9‬ ‭
 

I feel like I have no idea what it’s going to be like, but it’s gonna be great!?

I'd like to sit with the Lord Jesus; although, I'd want to listen, rather than speak, except to say, "Yes, Lord.", to whatever he tells me to do; "I'm so sorry for all the times I've failed you."; "Thank you, thank you, thank you, Lord for going to the cross for me and giving me new life and forgiveness."; and, "I love you Lord.".

This is fun to think about.

1Cor. 13:12 (ESVS) For now we see in a mirror dimly, but then face to face. Now I know in part; then I shall know fully, even as I have been fully known.

God the Father. God the Son and God the Holy Spirit. Heaven will be amazing with many possibilities.

John 14:2 (KJV) In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.

Mansions, better translated rooms. I've pondered; in our glorified state, when the New Jerusalem descends to earth and is our home. Why do we need a room? For privacy, that doesn't seem logical? To shelter and get out of the weather, that does not seem reasonable either. To rest, sleep and rejuvenate? That does not fit? 

I do not know, but it seems plausible, having our own space to socialize, entertain, and talk with loved ones, and those related to the subject of this thread? It's just a thought with no biblical support. I can think of no other logical reason we would need our own personal space. A 1,500 x 1,500 x 1,500 mile glorious apartment complex in modern terminology.
