The modern Christian idea of heaven is full of contradictions. If you go to heaven and your grandmother is there, you’ll be happy if she’s the way you remember her: old. But, she’ll probably want to be young and in her prime. And what about her own grandmother? Won’t she also want her old grandma as she remembered her? Or, what if a widower who remarried after his first wife’s death goes to heaven, will both his first wife and second wife be there? Won’t they each want to spend time around him?
Basically, the only way to make it work is if everybody’s critical faculties are switched off and they’re pumped full of the celestial equivalent of heroin. I guess that “off your tits on drugs 24/7” is happiness, but it definitely isn’t the way they portray heaven.
Jesus addressed the widower who remarried idea. He dismissed the question as ridiculous because you won’t have human emotions in heaven and will feel no connection to either of your wives.
