When you go to heaven and meet up with your deceased loved ones, what do you expect you'll be talking about

Question

..for eternity.

Answer 1

The only thing that is so complex that it will be a never ending task to know God... Jim

Answer 2

I think the values and perspective will be totally different from the material illusion so I don't imagine we'll be talking about the materialist things that concern us here. It won't be for eternity anyway, just until the next incarnation in this place of intense suffering.

Answer 3

We will talk about this last lifetime together - what we did, how we felt, what we might have done differently, how good we looked when we were teens, etc. When we get done with thoroughly rehashing this last existence, we start making a plan to come back. We pick a time and place and we all choose roles - then back we come. I think this must be the best ride in the park...

Peace!

Answer 4

Granted that talking is a physical activity that one must perform with their mouth, since "heaven" exists outside of physical space and time, there cannot be physical activities, emotions, pleasures, or pains. Our consciousness, or soul, or whatever survives death to "live" in the spiritual realm must experience spiritual activities, not physical ones. Why do you have the impression that we will be with our family anyway? Who is our family in "heaven?" Ma and Pop are being eaten by worms down in their graves, even if you are somehow communicating, it won't be with "them," it will be with some abstract spiritual aspect of them. When we go to "heaven," we will recognize "ourselves" as God's children, not the son of John and Jane Doe. I don't think we will really care where our parents are, since we will be in spiritual union and bliss with the greatest parent of all, God.

Answer 5

It is not like that in heaven we are one family.no one is meeting the deceased.

Answer 6

How is that possible if the dead is in their grave, and awaiting the resurrection?

Where are the dead? According to the Bible:

Gen. 3:19: “In the sweat of your face you will eat bread until you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken. For dust you are and to dust you will return.”

Eccl. 9:10: “All that your hand finds to do, do with your very power, for there is no work nor devising nor knowledge nor wisdom in Sheol [“the grave,” KJ, Kx; “the world of the dead,” TEV], the place to which you are going.”

What is the condition of the dead?

Eccl. 9:5: “The living are conscious that they will die; but as for the dead, they are conscious of nothing at all.”

Ps. 146:4: “His spirit goes out, he goes back to his ground; in that day his thoughts [“thoughts,” KJ, 145:4 in Dy; “all his thinking,” NE; “plans,” RS, NAB] do perish.”

John 11:11-14: “‘Lazarus our friend has gone to rest, but I am journeying there to awaken him from sleep.’ . . . Jesus said to them outspokenly: ‘Lazarus has died.’” (Also Psalm 13:3)

How did Jesus demonstrate what resurrection will mean for mankind in general?

Read John 11:11, 14-44, If Jesus had thus called Lazarus back from a state of bliss in another life, that would have been no kindness. But Jesus’ raising Lazarus up from a lifeless state was a kindness both to him and to his sisters. Once again Lazarus became a living human.
And Mark 5:35-42, When the general resurrection takes place on earth during Christ’s Millennial Reign, doubtless many millions of parents and their offspring will be overjoyed when they are reunited.

Who will be included in the earthly resurrection?

John 5:28, 29: “Do not marvel at this, because the hour is coming in which all those in the memorial tombs will hear his voice [the voice of Jesus] and come out.” (The Greek word translated “memorial tombs” is not the plural form of ta´phos [grave, an individual burial place] or hai´des [gravedom, the common grave of dead mankind] but is the plural dative form of mne·mei´on [remembrance, memorial tomb]. It lays stress on preserving memory of the deceased person. Not those whose memory was blotted out in Gehenna because of unforgivable sins but persons remembered by God will be resurrected with the opportunity to live forever.—Matt. 10:28; Mark 3:29; Heb. 10:26; Mal. 3:16.)

Acts 24:15: “I have hope toward God . . . that there is going to be a resurrection of both the righteous and the unrighteous.” (Both those who lived in harmony with God’s righteous ways and people who, out of ignorance, did unrighteous things will be resurrected. The Bible does not answer all our questions as to whether certain specific individuals who have died will be resurrected. But we can be confident that God, who knows all the facts, will act impartially, with justice tempered by mercy that does not ignore his righteous standards. Compare Genesis 18:25.)

Rev. 20:13, 14: “The sea gave up those dead in it, and death and Hades gave up those dead in them, and they were judged individually according to their deeds. And death and Hades were hurled into the lake of fire. This means the second death, the lake of fire.” (So, those whose death was attributable to Adamic sin will be raised, whether they were buried at sea or in Hades, the common earthly grave of dead mankind.)

Answer 7

There will be no tears no sin to remember and other happy things to do. It will be a place of wholesome activity without getting tired. Joy in worship. and other joys that we cannot imagine

Answer 8

Everything. Life, the here and now, eternity, God, Jesus Christ, our earthly families.

Answer 9
