ok lets say u have a friend when ur a kid, then u move away and never see him/her again. but then u die of old age and u look real different from when u was a kid. how would u find ur friend in heaven or the afterlife when u still remember him/her as a little kid and never saw them change into an adult? what would they look like? how could u find ur friends and fam, there has to be trillions of ppl in heaven. my dad brought this question to me and it got me stumped.

yeah that what i always thought. its heaven, u gonna "know" everything about everyone. but my dad is always questioning what god says, i think hes aetheist. but im not and i think hes just confused and too stubborn to find answers. and how would you be able to talk to every1? theres so many ppl in there!!! i wanna talk to the first person who started my fam, and i wanna talk to all the great ppl in the world. what language would they speak up there? lol, i know im gettin ppl pissed off cuz i ask too many qustions that no one can really answer
When I was in another dept. here at HP, I met two guys in their 50's at least who met at work. Turns out they recognised eachother - from kindergarten! They had grew up in the same small town and both eventually moved away only to cross paths again almost 50 years later. And still recognised eachother. That's amazing.
Now, whether or not we recognize each other after we die, who really knows. I doubt its a matter of looking in the mirror and even recognizing yourself (in the physical sense, of course). Is it neccessary to be "ourselves" only with our bodies? Or are we more than this physical structure? Flesh weakens with age. And there is no such wisdom or doctrine spoken of "eternal flesh". If we be a spiritual people, we understand spirit as that which manifests itself as what we know as physical reality. Basically, the physical world is a manifestation of the spiritual. Perhaps, when we die we will have the ability to manifest ourselves in more than one way. But that's all speculation..............
reality
Faith is an attitude... There is no after life, once you're dead, you're dead... Your brain and your conscious (the awareness of yourself and the environment around you) stops functioning and that is it... All thoughts and beliefs no longer exist except for your dead body; this is the only reality/truth... It is hard to think this way because the human conscious is so strong that it makes it hard to think of the nonfeeling in nonexistence... I came to this conclusion after knowing a kid who was normal before he suffered a substantial amount of brain damage from almost drowning. Anyway he wasn't the same person at all. It was like he had been replaced by another person. Point being is when you die your brain is damaged permanently and you no longer know shit about anything because your brain no longer functions.
