What makes you think you are going to heaven? I pity your simple-minded ignorance

I don't have any biblical references handy (although I'll look for some) but I'm certain we will be ageless and free of handicaps in Heaven. Only our souls go to Heaven, and it is only our bodies that age and/or are handicapped. So I would think that, in Heaven, a 2 year old and an 80 year old would "appear" pretty much the same. Even if our bodies are resurrected, I think they'll be made perfect and ageless. I know there is stuff in the Bible about that...I just don't know the actual verses. Whatever we look like, it's going to be awesome !!!
By the way, please don't let the 2 or 3 really cynical postings on here disturb you. It's amazing how many really sad people are floating around out there. It's one thing to have a different belief, but another thing altogether to feel compelled to be unkind.
UPDATE! I found a link for you: http://www.christianitytoday.com/ct/2003/122/51.0.html
God Bless You !

This is not an easy question to answer, and I think there are many parts to it. The first thing I would say is that in heaven, we will not have a physical age like we do here on earth. There are a number of Bible passages I can think of that support this: Christ told the Sadduccees that in the resurrection, they neither marry or are given in marriage, but are like the angels in heaven. If we accept this, and also realize that based on the appearances of angels in the Scriptures, for example, Gabriel appearing in both the Old and New Testaments in events separated by thousands of years, yet appearing the same - it is pretty clear that the concept of age is something different in the heavenly life than in the earthly one.
The second point to make is, how does one define age? Is it only physical? Or is it also a level of maturity and experience? If it is the latter, I'm not even sure one can say that we will be a certain "age" in heaven, because our spiritual maturity and experience will not be static there - as St. Paul says, we will move "from grace to grace". In other words, we will develop and grow in our holiness and closeness to God eternally. So how can we describe a specific age?
Finally, in my Tradition, which is Greek Orthodox, the Church believes that in heaven, everyone will be as Christ was when he died and was resurrected - 33 years old. But again, this is not taken as a literal "33 years", because years have no meaning in heaven. It is taken as the "prime" of one's life - in other words, we will be at our point of perfection, becoming ever more perfect for all of eternity.
May God bless you and grant you peace!

I think that everyone will be the age that they were in their prime. I also don't think there are any infirmities in heaven, so I doubt anybody is handicapped there. I'm not sure how it all works, it's for God to decide I guess.

We will take on a new body, a spiritual body.
1 Corinthians 15:49 - And just as we have borne the likeness of the earthly man, so shall we bear the likeness of the man from heaven.
Don't worry, you're going to be in a body that's as good as new!

Heaven awaits us. When we go to heaven, we'll have no age and won't have to use the toilette. Everything will be different like our bodies and the language. We won't speak Portuguese or English or Spanish.Well, u get the point.

In the Lost Gospels, it is imparted that Jesus saw a mother nurseing her baby and said to His deciples, "This is how you will enter the Kingdom of Heaven."
