Relative Standing in the Afterlife

It’s actually a good question, how could we be in heaven if our loved ones aren’t. I stopped believing in hell a while ago, it just never added up with my knowledge of a loving God.

I personally believe everyone has to answer for the way they lived and treated others on earth. I also believe everything we do is important, and one day we will give an accounting of how we lived our lives and the difference we made while here, and I believe there will be justice. I also believe God is a good and loving God, and the next life will be the best one.

This shows a fuckin lot about who you are.
Newfound admiration... it is not noticed. And thank you.
I love paradoxes and see them everywhere. Some are more troublesome than others, ime. But are they...? 😄

If there is an afterlife I do not feel I will be in overwhelming suffering. May not be bliss. Maybe it's the same as it is now. I won't pretend to know.

Ptsssssst: My honest thoughts? We all gonna be in the same "place" and remain who we are. Who and whatever that may or may not be. 😁
 
Idk about afterlife...fuck idk even about this life.one is dying,another one is born.that is a circle of life...till human being exist on this earth.the Death will come inevitably...somekind excited about this.the greatest trip....along with Birth..Hope i will now about afterlife someday....but there is something after death..,some kinda feelin' I got

Apologies because I’m sure this is a well-trodden path… but…

Christians generally believe there is a possibility they will enter Heaven. Conversely others will be condemned to Hell.

Obviously, sometimes the Heaven-headed will inevitably have friends and/or family sent to Hell.

How can this be? Surely Heaven is not heavenly with the sure and certain knowledge others are in Hell.

Even going with the obvious - Hitler, Jeffrey Dahmer, Stalin, Donald Trump (;)) etc - finite evil is, by definition, infinitely less evil than eternal damnation.

So how do the Heavenly get to feel truly Heavenly knowing others do not? Personally I would feel thoroughly vile knowing I was in heavenly bliss whilst others were not… which is clearly paradoxical.

I know this is probably a pretty basic question but I don’t have much - if any - interest in apologetics, I really want to hear personal takes if possible cos this is a question that has never gone away for me.

Heaven, hell, countries, houses, these are all concepts. Before you conceptualize anything,
you are, even before the knowingness, you are.

Don't appreciate you including Trump's name in your list - regardless of your attempt to wink, or whatever that is. That, right there, tells me you have no idea what is going on in politics and you should probably stay quiet on the issue.
