I understand what you are saying, it is an important
issue
But I think you may be misreading or misunderstanding
what is said
I can tell you this, some have tasted heaven, I being
one
I hated Jesus but then he woke me up
He answered many questions
One thing I can tell you for sure, we are still us in
heaven
We will still see hear smell, have feelings and
emotions and even have memories.
We will be us.
We will have our same personality, minus the bad
Only the bad stuff will be taken away
So don't jump to conclusions
From what I read he is not talking about earning
salvation
But that if we realized how we may have wasted our
time on earth that we would have lived life differently
Jesus says that David was a man after his own heart,
The same could be said of every one of the redeemed
There are parts of our heart that belong to God, God
created us
The good things he has put in our heart that is part
of our personality will go with us to heaven
We will be individuals in heaven, but only the good
will remain, because the good came from God in the first
place.
We are not talking about being born good or not
asking God to forgive us, don't jump the gun here
