Is there privacy in Heaven?

[GEddie]

If you’re old you stay old.

If you’re young, you stay young.

If you’re a fetus, you then become a fully grown person.

Wonder why the fetus wouldn’t stay a fetus?

The CW about " pneumatikon somas" is that we will all be the “age” of our LORD, approximately an apparent “age” between 30 and 39 human years.

This is the prime of full human body development without the declines of ageing.

“Age” is somewhat meaningless however, in a realm without collinear time.

ICXC NIKA.

Very good, thank you. If someone was morbidly obese, would they remain so or would you take on the bodily form that God likes best?

We will be free of any disabling or disfiguring body states.

Someone with weight problems while alive might not be a muscular ectomesomorph in his pneumatikon soma; but he (or she) will have a beautiful, perfected human body fully capable of easy movement.

Ok, thank you. You mention easy movement?

Movement through time and space, yes? So the laws of physics still apply in heaven?

If no, what ever do you mean by movement, if the laws of physics no longer apply and we are in fact dealing with a physical human body?

A solid human soma, indeed; and a real physical world to move said body around in.

But a body with a measure of command over the laws of physics (as is needed to awaken from death at all!) and a world without collinear time, which is inseparable from entropy.

ICXC NIKA!

Hey 987mk…your questions seem to be about things that are unanswerable. That’s why Jesus said there are things He couldn’t explain, because we weren’t able to understand.

You’re not trying to bait us here, are you? :tsktsk:

No, I asked questions of people and I’m satisfied with their answers.

Which body?

Of a persons life, which body will they possess, young, middle aged, old? What if someone was miscarried as a zygote or a one month old fetus?

What is the point of such a question in the context of this discussion (re: privacy)? We believe in the resurrection of the body. It will be the same body we have, but glorified. What that is, we don’t know. Leave the details to God.

 

[JoyintheCross]

While I agree with the above explanation, it leaves some unanswered questions: If Heaven consists primarily/solely in the Beatific Vision (BV), then what use of the resurrected body? Heaven is also supposed to be a physical place. Again, if all we will be doing there is beholding the BV, then what’s the relevance of the physical place?

No No No No No! One must not fall for the error that Heaven consists ONLY in the Beatific Vision. (Just as many protestants erroneously see heaven as ONLY a pleasure trip!)

Read “The Happiness of Heaven” by Fr. Boudreau. It is one of the most interesting books that I have read on Heaven, that dispels both errors. It’s pretty cheap on Amazon.

And yes, we are not angels. We are human beings destined to be reunited with glorified bodies, and our senses will receive pleasure to the degree that we have mortified them. For example, a martyr suffering a horrible death will experience more pleasure than many of us. Also, I think the more we say no to our senses too.
