Q. Is there any scripture pro or con indicating whether or not those that have died in Christ and gone to heaven still remember the lives and relationships they left back on earth? I’ve been told by several people that I respect that they don’t because that might cause them to worry or suffer grief. And although that makes sense to me they can’t give me any scripture to back this up either way. Others have said that they do remember and bring up the story of Lazarus and the rich man, but is that all there is in scripture about this subject. I am wondering what your opinion on this might be.

Q. I have years and years worth of questions written in my prayer journal that I want to ask someone, as soon as I get to heaven!  So, will I have to ask or will we be instantly infused with all knowledge upon arrival? I have a million of them! Will I even care once I get to heaven?

Q. I haven’t written with a question in a long time…but I’m still praising God everyday when I read your articles and timely responses to readers questions.  You can’t imagine the number of times I have silently “high fived” you  with a “good answer, Jack”.  You continue to bless me with your anointed insight to explaining scripture in the most elemental ways.

Q.  I have been reading a book about the end times.  The author of this book is very well known and has written several books on end-times  and prophecy. He states in his book that “we will be looking down from heaven and will watch the whole Tribulation play out”. (we will have ring side seats) I have looked everywhere in the bible and can not find this.

Q. I have read several of your articles about life in Heaven after our earthly death and still have a question that I hope you can help me with.  I was married 44 years before my wife went to be with the Lord.  After several years I was reacquainted with an old high school sweetheart and we are thinking about getting married.  The question that has been bothering me is how all this will work when we are all in Heaven.  Thank you for all the work you put into your website as it has helped me tremendously.

Q. I am trying to understand something.   Will we have the desire to sin in heaven?  I understand that our sin nature will finally be gone and the tempter Satan will be dealt with but won’t we still have emotions and desires?  Some of the angels sinned in heaven. I assume they had no sin nature to begin with. Wasn’t Satan also created without a sin nature? Is there anything in the Bible that gives us assurance that “sin” will be finally gone in the end or is that unknown? If the possibility is not gone then does that mean Jesus remains our intercessor for eternity?

Q. I have wondered about what we will know of our past relationships once we’re in Heaven.  I have read of God wiping away all tears.  Will we not have knowledge of family who were not saved and what of our relationships with those who were saved?  I am happily married and have asked if I will know of the relationship we had once we are in heaven.

Q. I have a few questions about death and about heaven and I just wanted to know if you could answer them for me

When we die do we go straight to Heaven and do we get to see all our loved ones, and others we want to meet?  Will we meet God?  What exactly would we look like? I heard that we will get new bodies, but will we still look the way we look here just without any injuries, diseases, and etc?  If we do bad things when we’re on Earth would still get to go to Heaven?  When someone passes away do they remember how they died or anything from when they lived on Earth?

Q. Just when I think I am getting things cleared I read your article about being awake or asleep at death and now I have a question.  Paul’s statements about going and being with the Lord says nothing about being awake or aware. Is it just the breath of life as some have suggested or are we there in spirit waiting for the resurrection of our bodies to be reunited with them?

Q. Thank you for the continuation of your site! I have a problem. My wife has recently gotten mad at me for reading about end times prophecy. She feels that she doesn’t want the rapture to happen because it would take away the life that we have just started together. She also does not seek out information on Jesus or what it means to be a Christian. What should I/can I do? I don’t know what I can do to console her.  Is it right to assume that the rapture will happen in the next five years?
