Knowing your family in Heaven

[Old Timer]

Do I sound angry in these posts? Do I sound annoyed? Am I being un-Christian-like?

It may very well be.

The hope of the Christian, the desire of the Christian, the longing of the Christian should be the return of our Lord and Savior.

Titus 2:13 Looking for that blessed hope, and the glorious appearing of the great God and our Saviour Jesus Christ;

Heb 9:28 So Christ was once offered to bear the sins of many; and unto them that look for him shall he appear the second time without sin unto salvation.

2Co 1:9 But we had the sentence of death in ourselves, that we should not trust in

ourselves, but in God which raiseth the dead:

1Th 2:19 For what is our hope, or joy, or crown of rejoicing? Are not even ye in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ at his coming?

And I see Christians writing, talking, dreaming, inventing fantasies about what they will be doing when they get to heaven. Can you blame me for being angry, annoyed and un-Christinal-like?

Seeing as family is of great importance to God, why wouldn't we know each other in Heaven? It is our home! We are the same creation that God set into the Garden. In Heaven, we will be a restored Creation, restored to the untainted beginnings that were ripped away from us by the enemy! God is going to establish a New Earth for us to dwell in perfection with Him! Of course we will be together in families and in friendships! These new relationships will be of a different, perfect and sublime order.

2 Peter 3:13...

13But in keeping with his promise we are looking forward to a new heaven and a new earth, the home of righteousness.

Don't be angry--there is no sin in what we are doing.

Now another topic with Christians wondering if their pets will go to heaven.

Need I say more?

Perhaps not, but it can definately be a source of distraction, and a frustration to spiritual growth.

Absolutely. Cults have created entire theologies on this kind of thing. Why do you think Mormons get "sealed"?

I don't care what Mormons think...it would be wrong, of course! I was just wondering to whom your comment was aimed...to me or to Old Timer.

Well....I don't aim my comments - like a gun.

I was responding to your comment, however.
