Question about people when they die

Post by Swimmy »

We always hear that they will be watching over us from heaven,etc.

Is this true? For example. People make facebook groups for loved ones.Basically a place to celebrate their lives with pictures, and comments from those who wish to say Goobye or whatever.Do they know? Or are they oblivious to what happens on earth?

I don't think we'll really know until we get there, lol. The Bible doesn't really talk about it, so we can't say if we will be able to or won't be able to, but people like to just say we will to make themselves feel better I imagine.

Non biblical evidence for this.

But personally I believe you will not for 2 reasons

1) Their is no pain in heaven, looking back on people still living will bring back human emotion, maybe they do something that they promised you they would not before you died, causing pain.

2) Time does not exist in heaven, I know it sound svery trippy, but honestly It will not feel like very long before you see them again.
