Whatever.
This is a lighthearted thread.
Lighten up a bit.

Oh ok.

Sorry.

The Bible is quite clear that you will have no memory of your Earthly existence when in heaven. You won't even recognize your exes.

Really???
I won't recognize loved ones, that have died, and I miss greatly?

Are you sure?

Fear not Chaney. The Bible is so full of contradictions that if you search hard enough you may find a quote saying the exact opposite.

Cool.
Besides, that's OT....nobody cares about the OT anymore.

It's an Elvis song.

Dude, you're letting down the thread.

Whattya want from me, I was born "In the Ghetto".

Old Shep

When I was a lad
And old Shep was a pup
Over hills and meadows we'd stray
Just a boy and his dog
We were both full of fun
We grew up together that way
I remember the time at the old swimmin' hole
When I would have drowned beyond doubt
But old Shep was right there
To the rescue he came
He jumped in and then pulled me out
As the years fast did roll
Old Shep, he grew old
His eyes were fast growing dim
And one day the doctor looked at me and said
"I can do no more for him, Jim"
With hands that were trembling
I picked up my gun
And aimed it at Shep's faithful head
I just couldn't do it, I wanted to run
I wish they would shoot me instead
He came to my side and looked up at me
And laid his old head on my knee
I had struck the best friend a man ever had
I cried so I scarcely could see
Old Shep, he has gone where the good doggies go
And no more with old Shep will I roam
But if dogs have a heaven there's one thing I know
Old Shep has a wonderful home.

What do you mean:

"Not the same God"?

Hardly specific enough to claim that “the bible is clear”

Interpret it as it fits your own ideology.
That's what all Christians do.

There was a twang of sarcasm in my post. (In relation to another Christian who has previously put forward that proposition).
