He was unsaved. He will be in hell forever. How can I ever be happy again, even in Heaven, knowing that he is suffering forever? It will put a huge damper on my joy.

I lost my mother, not really believing she was saved. I lost my sister, not knowing she was saved. Questions arise to confuse our trust and walk in Him. It is Satans purpose to take our eyes off of Christ and place them on our problems and distress. We never truly know if anyone is saved or not.

My pastor lost his unsaved father a couple of years ago. One thing he said of note is that he was grateful that his father heard the gospel. I read a verse in Isaiah I think it was, that we would not remember this world. Given that, you will not remember your lost brother. Revelation does say all tears will be wiped away. I dont have a full grasp on His ways, but I trust Him. He says all tears will be wiped away and there will be no sadness. We will not feel pain for the loss of loved ones.

I am sorry for your loss. 1Cr 13:12 For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. there are many things that we simply don't have the answers to in this life. However - we can place our trust in the Lord and fight the good fight while we can. Again, I am sorry for your loss. I know you miss your brother.

But what you are proposing is that we will be blissfully ignorant of the truth. Is that truth so bad that we need to be made unaware of it? Maybe so....

I'll pray for your brother, nothing is impossible with the Lord. How tragic nebula* ( I meant to say AyinJade~!), that we will not remember anything of this world including our family members? Thats very sad to me.. I really wish I could have my family in Heaven with me. I love them dearly.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There is only one thing I know about this. Jesus loves your brother more than you ever have or can. I know He can bear pain a lot stronger than either you or I can, but try to imagine how much His heart is broken over the loss of your brother. At one time, Jesus told us not to worry about tomorrow, each day has its own trouble. So in the same way, do not worry about how you will need to deal with this pain in Heaven. Here and now you are hurting, and here and now Jesus is there with you. And if you want to cry on His shoulder, He'll cry with you.
