    Some members of our forum believe that memories of pain, suffering, loved ones left behind and so forth are no longer experienced in heaven.

    Would the logic follow that memory in hell would be a certainty? After all, how better torture the unfaithful than to have them suffer untold anguish in the knowledge that they are forever separated from all that is good, especially loved ones!

    Seems like quite a paradox!

    In what way does it sound like truth?

    Doesn't sound much like a paradox to me. If you can believe the one you can believe the other just as easily. Personally, I don't think that memory as we know it can survive death. No more brain, you see. As the man says, you can't take it with you!

    How would it not be paradox to have memory in one eternal state and not in another? That would imply that God has set up greatly different mental recollective capabilities according to one's ultimate destination.

    How could anyone know this? Do you know someone who has been to heaven, then returned to tell you these memories are no longer experienced?

    I don't think eagle is claiming this. Check out "Is heaven all that great if there is a Hell," for people who will claim to know this claim and may give you a reason. Notice I didn't say a good reason . . .

    It would indeed, but as god is supposedly onminpotent, this is not out of his league. I see no paradox here.

    I've been to heaven.
    I got hella drunk there too.
    Obviously I don't go to nightclubs anymore, but the ladies were scantilly dressed. I was well impressed.

    You didn't go to heaven the previous night if you don't feel like hell the next morning, right Shavixmir? 🙂

    Wouldn't you think that God (not wanting to confuse we feeble-minded mortals) might stick to the same laws throughout his creation, including heaven and hell? Is God sensible and if not, why not?
