Something I've been curious to know...

It's said that when you die, you go to heaven (hopefully) and rejoin or wait for your loved ones and significant other and spend eternity with them (as far as I know/have been told).

What is supposed to happen if you die before your husband/wife and they end up getting remarried?

Do you end up with the first person or second person? End up with whoever is your soulmate?

Or does this concept not even exist in heaven? Does everyone have an equal love for each other and the idea of a partner is completely irrelevent?
 
Your problem is that you think heaven is going to be just like earth, but it's not. It's going to be so great that you can't even begin to imagine it, in your mortal stage
and it's the opposite for hell

What am I having a problem with? I'm just asking a question. I didn't state I thought heaven would be like earth.

Didn't mean it like that...
 
Is there a difference between 1 and infinity or 1 billion and infinity? You would think yes, 999999999, but the correct answer is no. It?s hard to understand something?s beyond our realm of comprehension. Maybe we will find out what happens when we die, but I?m sure no one here knows.

Well, that's a bit ambiguous as well. Do you get to choose the 72 virgins? Because if you didn't... you'll have to ask why are those women virgins in the first place?

Exactly, they were virgins because no one wanted to be with them. I say let them have the 72 ugly, fat, one toothed virgins. I'm going for the sexy models that everyone wanted to have sex with and a few did.

What religion is that? I'm interested if it doesn't involve circumcision.
 
I don't believe in the concept of heaven, but I do have some thoughts on it.

As someone else said, you can't project the physical reality of mortality onto heaven. In a spiritual sense, heaven would present you with happiness as it occurs in your mind, not that of others. Wounds healed, families reunited, and lost loved ones wholly yours again. There are no legal or physical boundaries between your feelings and what would be possible.

That said, that only makes sense if it is you that died before your spouse. If the spouse remarries they would have the conflict of whom with which to realize their eternal vision of happiness.
 
Mark 12: 24-25

24Jesus replied, "Are you not in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God? 25When the dead rise, they will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.

Is that supposed to say that when your partner dies, you do not remarry?

Edit: I think I read that wrong 😛

Welcome to agnosticism. These are questions religion can never answer. Even the greatest things in the world/afterlife would get boring after a while. If there is no concept of boredom or enjoyment in heaven then there is no concept of the human mind/thoughts/feelings in heaven, thus there is no concept of you(the decision making person) in heaven, and thus no concept of heaven, since you won't be in it. Thanks for bringing up a dizzying topic. 😉

It means that when you are in heaven, you will not be married.

If you get a second and want to know more, read Mark 12.

If he believes in God, it certainly isn't agnosticism.

Exactly, how most people describe heaven is what I think of as hell. Doing the same task for the millionth time, having the same conversation with the same person for the millionth time, etc, is my defintion of hell. Heaven to me cannot be infinitely long.
 
The correct answer is that nobody has a fvcking clue. Some people, like the guy above, will quote passages from the bible, but anyone who has any opinion on the matter is guilty of wishful thinking, as there is no evidence whatsoever to support any kind of afterlife.

Either that or they were too young when they died to have had sex, making him a pedophile.

I believe your answer is found directly in the Bible...
I have to find the passage, but i just read it recently


Found it
Matthew Ch 22

Marriage at the Resurrection
23That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 24"Teacher," they said, "Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and have children for him. 25Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27Finally, the woman died. 28Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?"
29Jesus replied, "You are in error because you do not know the Scriptures or the power of God. 30At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven. 31But about the resurrection of the dead?have you not read what God said to you, 32'I am the God of Abraham, the God of Isaac, and the God of Jacob'[a]? He is not the God of the dead but of the living."
33When the crowds heard this, they were astonished at his teaching.

There is no evidence whatsoever to the contrary also. Its called FAITH for a reason.
