i read that we won't remember Earth or bad things when we're in Heaven. but our experiences, good and bad, make us who we are, how can we be us when we won't have our life's memories? and also, why do we have to forget our non-Christian friends? i never want to forget my friends! the problem is i have no way to contact them so i haven't even got a way to bring them to Christ!

I recommend reading The Shack by William P. Young. This book answeres all of the question I had about Christianity. Also I have read the book Heaven is for real about a 4 year old boy who goes to heaven for 3 minutes while he is in surgery for a burst appendix. In this book which is a true story, The 4 year old boy lives with his Grandfather while in heaven and his Grandfather knows him even though the grandfather died before the 4 year old was born. Also the grandfather talks of things that have happened in the past to him on earth. This book is written by the 4 year old boy's father but tells of everything the little boy said about when he went to heaven for 3 minutes. Because of this book I believe that we do remember our life on earth when we go to heaven. I know that the Bible says we won't remember anything bad things but according to this book, we do remeber some things. READ THIS BOOK! It is AMAZING!

ok, I've heard of it and I think my grandma owns it... I'll look into it at any rate!

I don't know if I really believe that stuff about them going to heaven or hell, but I do know that I have never heard that you forget about things. And I haven't seen it in the Bible, so as far as I'm concerned, it isn't that way.

you kinda have to believe it, that's kinda what our doctrine is based on; Jesus saving us from Hell.

Well, no, I didn't mean that. I meant people who are still alive going to heaven or hell in a "vision". I don't really believe in that kind of stuff.

oh, that maketh more sense. I don't know, I guess we'll never know til we get there I suppose.

I guess, lol.

that's totally my philosophy on everything...
if some asks "do animals go to Heaven?"
"idk, we'll see when we get there, won't we?"
