A question about the Christian belief regarding death and heaven?

Question

According to biblical belief, when a Christian dies and is going/does go to heaven... then when a family member dies and is going/does go to heaven... are these 2 individuals reunited in the same feeling as they would have had on earth? Will they know they were related and be excited with full undertstanding of their reunion and seperation on earth? Or will everyone think everyone is the same in general? This is a hard question to word perfectly, I hope you get my meaning.

Please no long winded answers; I have just lost my dad and haven't the mental concentration for anything elaborate. Just a simple yes or no and a few brief comments will help me the most. Thanks.

Answer 1

First I want to say that I'm sorry about your dad. I am sure that you miss him very much. I would like to say that it will get easier but when I lost my mom, it didn't however remembering the better times became easier and the hurt of her death eased. You won't fill that void he left but it will soften in time. I'm so sorry.
The rest of this is kind of for the others who have opinions about heaven etc.
See this is a problem for me too. At all the funerals I've been to they preach a sermon about being reunited in heaven but then the bible says that in heaven we will be all praising of the father. You can't have both. Are we just there to praise, praise, praise or are we going to be reunited. And if we are reunited with our loved ones, then what about when a spouse has died and you remarry, and then when the three of you are dead, is it a threesome cause you are married to both.

Answer 2

This is one of those questions that people don't find out until they're dead. So until then, just live your life as happy as you can possibly be, and don't think about what happens when you die. People have gone crazy in the past trying to figure out life, and it's meanings and what to expect for the afterlife, but no one really knows. There is nothing that is 100% completely true about our existence, and if there is, there isn't enough evidence to fully back it. Thats just life.

I'm really sorry about your father. I lost my dad when I was twelve and I have to tell you, that even though the experience is causing you ALOT of pain in your life right now, just know that you will be a stronger person because of this. No matter what anyone tells you, or how you truley feel inside about it, it helps to talk about it. Keep your head up. Your father's in my prayers.

Answer 3

I'm so sorry for your loss, I too lost my father years ago and I can tell you the pain never goes away, but you learn to handle it with time.

Mayhap I can give you a visual that will help you understand. Think of your soul as a big ball of shining purity on top of the big hill of life. At birth, your soul is tossed down the hill and what happens to it - whether it's tossed down the smooth side or the ragged cliff side - helps determines its condition when it reaches the bottom.

A lot of it depends on us, and what we do with the experiences we have as we roll on down the hill. At the bottom of the hill of life, what is left of your soul is what goes to heaven. Not your feelings, not your body, but that pure part of you that is your soul, that part of you that is uniquely you. If nothing is left, there is nothing to go to Heaven.

Will we recognize each other? Yes, and no. All of the negative emotions, the physicality of the person, no, that's gone. All that is left is the Love. When you get to Heaven and see your father, you will see his soul and recognize it.

Answer 4

Sorry you lost your dad. I lost mine too. The Bible says we go to the grave when we die, awaiting a resurrection to life on a papadise earth. See John 5:28, 29 and Acts 24:15.

Answer 5

first of all there is no hell and speaking what's is heaven it's state of mind where took saints hundreds of years to reach that statement so heaven means god realized men women and it means u r mastering physicality u have to earn and pave ur pathway to this state of mind even jeseus probably achieved that state or even few u can count on ur fingers .so the soull goes to this level what left it off and they continue to grow on other side they are fine overther and r with u all the time u can talk with ur father thru medium and u have a piece of mind

Answer 6

Yes. If you are a Christian - you will see Heaven. I believe and I don't have evidence to back this up, that you will know your father and there will be a reunion. Blessings to you.

Answer 7

I am sorry for your loss. If youknow your dad was a christian then you know he is in a better place. As far as knowing each other as father and daughter I am not sure but it says we will know the people there and everyone will love one another. God Bless

Answer 8

Well since there will be no pain in heaven and no bad things at all yes I do think we shall know one another minus anything bad we might have had with them.I cannot prove this without searching.

Answer 9

sorry if i wear you out, but in the book of Job man dieth and return to the dust of the earth and the breath returns to God. No family relatives are in Heaven presently looking down on you. just make sure you live/die in christ and you will be ressurected with him in the last day and if your father died in christ you will see him again, but we will not know oneanother like now. but we will be happy because God will wipe away every tear from our eyes.
