Since heaven is eternal, I’m curious what is the age of the soul in heaven?

I read of a vision of a saint where he saw the angel who has an age of around 17 years old I think. Any writings from saints who said about what could be the age of our souls (in earthly terms) in heaven

Age is an attribute of the timebound body. It does not attach to the soul.

The resurrectional body (pneumatikon soma) will be renewed, but presumably have an “age” of development, which some have speculated as the age of our LORD, 30-39 years.

I’d think the age of the glorified body in heaven would be whatever is fully grown but without the negative effects of “aging.” I’m not sure how this applies to children, however… whether they stay children or grow up…

However we idealize childhood, it is still a deficiency of the body, in the sense of incomplete development; and there is no imperfection in the pneumatikon soma. They won’t remain kids, any more than babies who die would remain babies.

Presumably however, they’d keep the innocence of their minds.

I have read from private revelation that people in Heaven are the same age as Jesus when he died, they are 33 years old.

Our priest states around age of Christ as well. I do not know how this is known,is it bible scripture? others in this thread say this too.

I can,t imagine a heaven without little children and babies. 🤷

Jesus calls to the little children Luke 18:16

No-one will be born in Heaven; that is what natural life is for.

And the growth process and the ageing process are two sides of the same coin. Without collinear time, there can’t be either one.

The idea of being our LORD’s age (by bodily development, not elapsed time) is conjecture, based on this being the perfection of human body development without yet any signs of ageing.

It was St. Thomas of Aquinas who wrote that we would be 33 years old in heaven, the age of our Lord when He died.
