I'm not exactly sure where to go with this thread.
Some time ago I was contemplating the 'mansions' that are being prepared for arrival to Heaven and I started to think about what I imagine they may look like. In Abraham's day, a mansion would conjure up an image much different than it would in Roman times, and again something far different in contemporary times. So I've resigned myself to the thought that the architecture might just be so far different than anything I'm capable of conceiving at the moment.
But then it occurred to me that no matter what age a 'mansion' has existed, they've all had the same basic element, rooms. For example, functional rooms, leisure rooms, kitchens, bedrooms, bathrooms....
That's when it hit me...BATHROOMS? Will our glorified bodies require bowel movements at regular intervals just like our current bodies do? The Bible has examples of angels eating, manna is described as the food of the angels. Jesus, Himself, had a meal after the resurrection. Scripture talks about the trees of fruit, and the Marriage Supper of the Lamb. It's obvious to me that food will be consumed. So, will we need bathrooms?
I'm very curious about your opinion on this subject because my imagination is running a bit wild for whatever reason. Such as, is there a restroom just down the hall from the Throne Room where Gabriel occasionally relieves himself. I simply don't know and for some reason I just can't let it go.
I'm asking a real question, seeking real opinions. I know this isn't some heavy-hitting topic so if that's what you're looking for then feel free to move on without comment.
