Thread Name: BS: An Easter Question
Subject: RE: BS: An Easter Question
Raggytash, I seem to recall that in the Bible, Jesus was asked that very question. It was put to him that if a woman had a series of marriages, each leaving her a widow, what should she do on arriving in heaven and having several men claiming her? He replied along the lines that in heaven there's no such thing as men or women, and no marriage. I take this to mean it's a different dimension altogether, and human parameters don't apply.

Regarding our own resurrection, I have an idea we have to wait for the Second Coming (unspecified time) whereupon we'll be given new bodies and join God in heaven. Meanwhile we're in an intermediary holding position, until he arrives once more.

I just don't know what to think about all this. My atheist friend says, "Look mate, when yer dead yer dead!" In fact, as my father used to say, nobody knows, nobody can say, so you just have to get on with your life as best you can.

I've had many delightful cats over the years, that I loved very much. I do hope they can be resurrected too. Maybe at the Second Coming, they'll materialise in front of me. Trouble is, most of them had bad habits. I reckon the angels wouldn't relish a pack of Siamese cats weeing on their harps.
