Here's a question for those that believe they will be re-united with "loved ones" in heaven when they pass away. What happens if you don't want to be re-united with certain "loved ones"..... ever again? You know, like once in a lifetime was enough, more than enough. And what if they want to be re-united with you? How is that supposed to work?

This is actually a question of great concern for many believers that have had less than desirable relationships with so-called "loved ones." There is a need to be selective with those that you are going to spend the rest of eternity with.

Since heaven exists only in a postulated form, one may also postulate any operating rules one wishes.

I'd say that if the "loved one" wasn't really a "loved one," you probably don't need to worry. God wants you to be happy in heaven, not miserable.

The Law of Attraction works for this. You will be around people aka spirits who have the same soul condition as you have when you first pass over and if there's somebody you don't like, then I'm sure they won't come around. But eventually, we will all find forgiveness for those people who hurt or "irritated" us in this world... it's just the way it'll all spiritually evolve.

The focus in heaven is God.

Your right.
So.

Not to worry, God will give all believers a spiritual lobotomy.
Then he can send all of us to hell and we'll have no idea why.
lol, he's such a jokester. (in a sick sort of way)

1. What if you love all the wifes you've had but one of them would love only their first husband, but had to settle for you once he died, but wouldn't want two husbands in heaven?

2. Another one had loved only you and wouldn't like to share you with your previous wifes that passed away, nor future wifes.

3. Also you want to be in heaven with your youngest child but they only want to be with their husband, not with their father.

4. What about babies that want to be raised by 1000 yr old angels instead of the mother that aborted them and then felt bad about it?

5. How would you be re-united if you lost your memories, what if you got a whole set of new ones after you forgot the original?

Five simple questions that every Buddhist should ask if they lust for Purelands.

So Jesus kills your autonomy and personality once you enter his Anti-Krishna and anti-marriage kingdom?

Excuse the crudness and radical inquiry, but what sort of personalities would aborted fetuses posses if it's the choices we make which reveal our true nature?

Also what was the point of Jesus' bodily resurrection if all we really are is spirit and not matter? If God will change you to like heaven, why not have originally designed you perfected?

Same answer as before: God wants you to be happy in heaven, not miserable.
