                Laurie and I talked about this yesterday:

                Adam and Eve lived in a sinless world; yet both turned away from God.  Why wasn’t that sinless environment good enough for them?  Why wasn’t the relationship they had with God—unimpaired by sin—enough for them?

                The apostle Peter tells us that the angels sinned.  They were right there in God’s glorious presence.  How in the world did that happen?  That fact scares me more than just a little bit.

                So we wondered if heaven will be different than we imagine.  We will be in a sinless environment then.  We will also be in God’s presence.  The apostle Paul says that many things will cease after Jesus returns.  Prophecies, tongues and knowledge (I assume that he means the spiritual gift of knowledge?) are the three things that he mentions that will no longer be necessary, since we will know as we are known.  However, he tells us that love will never end.  Then he says, “So now faith, hope, and love abide, these three; but the greatest of these is love.”  Does that mean faith and hope will continue?  In the light of the questions asked above, will we need them in heaven?

 

 

I recently went home to RI and was watching tv and saw that some of the former angels from Charlie's Angels (the show not the movie) would be appearing as judges on some god awful reality tv show.  This enraged me.  Well actually the mention of Charlie's Angels enrages me.  Here was one of the lamest shows in the history of television.   Three women graduate from the Los Angeles police academy.  First mistake.  No way that will ever happen.  They are hired by a detective agency and given cases by a guy via a speaker phone.  Here is where the irony hits me.  Women probably liked the show because it showed the angels as strong, female characters which was rare back then.  Whats so amusing is that for all their feminine power they still worked for a man.  God I love it.  Because of that goddamn show, 75% of girls who get pictures taken with their friends at proms or semi formal dances will strike the angels pose.  Just god awful.
