Doesn't sound like you'll have much use for your pecker up there.

2. The concept of Heaven seems very boring. If there’s no sin or suffering or competition or disagreements or intimacy or emotions or confrontation at all up there, then you’re eliminating nearly all of what makes us human.
Heaven only seems boring to those who don’t truly understand what it means to be in heaven. Life actually wondered a good bit what it will be like to see those who died as infants and what they will be in terms of age

I just hope the form of my non-corporeal body is that of my body post penile enlargement.

I wish I was naive enough to believe there is a Heaven.

My position is one of hopeful agnosticism. NDEs indicate something happens at the moment of death. Whether it's an afterlife or neurons firing for the last time, I guess we'll find out.

On this mountain the Lord Almighty will prepare
a feast of rich food for all peoples,
a banquet of aged wine—
the best of meats and the finest of wines.
Isaiah 25:6. If no animals where will the meat come from? When we get to the new earth I think we have animals. They were in the Garden of Eden so why not the new earth?

Probably because that is how it’s described in the Bible

I think the likely answer is that our after life will bear little resemblance to our earthly lives.

So the concept of physical age probably won't even apply.

Brother you are asking a question only God knows. All we can do is just play the guessing game here on earth until we are called up and see it for ourselves. There are just some things God doesn’t want you to know until you make it there.

I will say that I don’t think we will look the same in Heaven as we did on earth.

We reach our prime physical form between 25-35, so somewhere in there.

So many thoughts and responses based on mortal, earthly conceptions.

Why is there an appearance vs an awareness? Even in this mortal existence, on this planet, creatures see appearance very differently. Some don’t use eyesight at all. We may have something like an awareness that supersedes the need for appearance.

Recognition, our current existence involves introductions & questions/answers to form an understanding- where did you got to high school? All of these things may not be necessary when we’re in God’s afterlife.

Marriage, there could easily be a more euphoric reunion ahead of us.

Family, all saved souls could be part of a much more significant family of God making the earthly concept of family insignificant.

What about the New Earth? Heaven is a transition. The New Earth sure sounds physical. Even in heaven we will know each other so I don't know how you can rule out our physical presence there. Revelation 21 and 22. Isaiah chapters about God's Holy Mountain. Micah chapter 4. As specifically to animals, Jesus and his army ride white horses out of heaven-Rev 19:11-16. There is a chapter in Randy Alcorn's book Eternal Perspectives that begins on page 427 about animals possibly being there. We'll definitely have a physical presence after the final resurrection.

God bless.

Cannot imagine heart wrenching loss of a child.

It sounds like she is in a better place. I strongly believe things happen for a reason.

All the best to you, your family and knowing she is resting in peace awaiting her family.

You are ageless and timeless.


Also lace and fineness.
And beauty and elegance.

Then what is the point?
You can go hang out with other random (angels)
And not continue the relationships and love you had while alive.
I can go meet random people now and I still prefer my family and friends.
