There are so many different interpretations about what Heaven looks like. (I'm thinking about it because I'm watching the episode of Supernatural where Sam and Dean die and run around heaven haha)
Anyway, I just wonder how different people think Heaven is like. My boyfriends description of Heaven, for instance, is very depressing in my opinion. He has been taught that our loved ones don't look down on us from Heaven. They aren't watching over us. They don't even remember us. He has been taught that, because there is no such thing as sadness in Heaven, that people who go there cannot look back on their loved ones on Earth and be saddened by what we go through.
He has been taught that when we go to Heaven, we don't remember our lives. We don't remember our family members, or our children, or or lovers. No pets. We are just....there. Happy, but there's nothing to reconnect us to each other.
That sounds incredibly sad! I'm really hoping he's wrong on this matter. I hate the thought that my little brother doesn't hear me tell him I love him and miss him each night. I hate the thought that the connections I make in this life will mean absolutely nothing in the next life.
Do all Christians believe this? Or is it just a person by person kinda thing?
