Spent some of last night sitting outside on the fence of someone's house with a friend, looking at the stars and feeling slightly cold. Must have looked like druggies since we had our hoods on and my friend was holding a beer. Ah well. Started a conversation about what the soul of an unborn baby would look like in heaven, and what age our resurrected bodies would be when we got them.
Will we have personalities in the new creation? What about children/babies who die really young? Could you somehow use their DNA and extrapolate out a persona? Even if you could extrapolate, could you have a true personality without having experienced any environmental factors besides your mother's amniotic fluid?
How weird would it be if our resurrected bodies came back as the age we were when we died? There'd be heaps of old people and embryos and foetuses floating around in heaven. So strange. What if we all came back with young healthy bodies, but with the wisdom of old age? More than that, we would know God.
"Why did I not perish at birth, and die as I came from the womb?....Or why was I not hidden in the ground like a stillborn child, like an infant who never saw the light of day?"
~Job 3:11,16
Sigh....the burdens and the joys of being chosen to be more than a fluttering heartbeat on an ultrasound screen.
