You might be particularly interested in 4 and 6...Timmy might
not be particularly interested in 8.

Re: Will Heaven be better than Earth?

Sex is an animal response to physical stimuli for procreation

Seeing that we will be spiritual creatures, the idea of animalistic procreation won't even enter into your thoughts. We will be new creatures not driven by carnal instincts and desires.

So, bb, what do you think will happen after you physically die? Will your consciousness find itself "somewhere else", even if that is perhaps not a physical location? Will that "somewhere" be better than this "somewhere"?

Well, "No one knows where they go when they die," so I don't try to guess. And "Lazarus and the rich man" tells us that the A to part II is also open...while the extremes are presented, I know we tend to think in B&W, and I think it is a bell curve. Strictly imo, there.

You don't try to guess, really? Not even about that "place" Jesus said He was going to prepare (*)? The house with many mansions? No speculation on what that really means (if it's not a real house with many mansions -- maybe "suites" is a modern word for it?)

After that part, I don't think I quite follow. A to part II? Open? Bell curve? Oh, you mean some will be at one of the extremes, but most will be somewhere in the middle? Not as many tears? Streets paved with aluminum? Nice Stetsons instead of crowns, maybe?

* And remember: if it were not so, He would have told you!
