Background of Earthly Senses

On Earth, classically it is understood that human being has five distinct senses.   There is:

  1. Sight,
  2. Hearing,
  3. Taste,
  4. Smell and
  5. Touch/Feel.
Beyond these five classical senses there is the ability to feel pain, love, remorse, cognitive thoughts of self-awareness and so much more. 

In the animal kingdom, there are several other senses / abilities such as: sonar, echo positioning and magnetic geographical positioning. 

Note that the attributes just named are just a small part of arguments against evolution.

In our lives, we sometimes have the great pleasure of giving love and feeling love in our relationships that bring us and to others great joy.  Examples:

In our lives, if we are blessed, then there are people we may have daily interaction with or only cross paths once where these people can almost instantaneously bring a sense of peace, comfort and happiness.  These can give us a small glimpse, in our imagination, of the concepts of love that will be experienced in Heaven along with many enhanced senses that go far beyond our five senses listed above.  There have been those who have had Near Death Experiences describe a peace, tranquility and love beyond explanation.  

It has been said that "it is better to give than receive" which does not have an exact scriptural reference other than possibly John 15:13 “Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends.”  God's gift of His Son payment for everyone on the Cross, besides so many other aspects such as leaving paradise to enter a sin sick world, also shows us a love that is beyond our ability to grasp in relation to the future perfect love in heaven that we will enjoy.

Classical Five Questions Regarding Perfection in Eternity

There are traditionally five classical questions often asked on how can we be perfect in eternity:
  1. The problem, that all of us have is understanding how there could be perfect unity between the Trinity of God Head of The Father, The Son and The Holy Spirit? 
  2. Furthermore, how can there be perfect peace, tranquility, love between us and God throughout eternity?
  3. Why did Lucifer decide to rebel and deceive other Angels in a place of perfection called Heaven?
  4. What is going to stop it from happening again?
  5. Lastly, there is one more question regarding eternal separation from God.  Is the Lake of Fire permanent and perfect in punishment?

First two questions: Our understanding is limited and it is difficult to comprehend with our selfish desires because of our fallen natures along with the evil that we see continuously on earth.  This author believes only a small part of the answers can be understand because we are in our earthly state of mortal bodies, limited cognitive abilities and with the sin nature.

The only early analogy that can in a small way help in conceiving the Perfect Unity of God was one that Chuck Missler spoke about.  Chuck's analogy is "a corporation which has a board that acts in unity for the best of the corporation."  Going further than that, add on that the members feel the emotions of love and so much more, from one another, which binds them in a place of infinite commitment, loyalty and cherishing one another.  More on this in the last section of this topic in the "Broad-Brush Statement".

Third question:  The possible answers to Lucifer rebellion is discussed in that topical Link. 

Fourth question: The possible answer to this question is discussed in "Why does God allow Suffering and not stop it?"

Fifth question: The Lake of Fire is eternal and there is no annihilation or relapse from it.

A Broad-Brush Conceptual Statement of Perfect Unity and Fellowship

As described in the first section of this topic, imagine if we have the ability to feel the emotions of one another and our sin nature is removed.  Once our sin nature is removed and we have enhanced abilities to feel the emotions of one another and derive pleasure from doing nice things for others then there will be limitless enjoyment, pleasures and contentment by having fellowship with God and one another! In Matthew 25:31-45, these scriptures let us know about the importance of helping everyone, but there is another more important point being made that is often unintentionally ignored.  In verse 40 and 45, Jesus Christ is letting us know that what we all do to one another is more than an observation.  The greater point is Jesus Christ is telling us:
Matthew 25:31-45 31 “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, he will sit on his glorious throne. 32 All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate the people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats. 33 He will put the sheep on his right and the goats on his left.

34 “Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father; take your inheritance, the kingdom prepared for you since the creation of the world. 35 For I was hungry and you gave me something to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you invited me in, 36 I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me.’ 37 “Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry and feed you, or thirsty and give you something to drink? 38 When did we see you a stranger and invite you in, or needing clothes and clothe you? 39 When did we see you sick or in prison and go to visit you?’ 40 “The King will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did for one of the least of these brothers and sisters of mine, you did for me.’

41 “Then he will say to those on his left, ‘Depart from me, you who are cursed, into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels. 42 For I was hungry and you gave me nothing to eat, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, 43 I was a stranger and you did not invite me in, I needed clothes and you did not clothe me, I was sick and in prison and you did not look after me.’ 44 “They also will answer, ‘Lord, when did we see you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or needing clothes or sick or in prison, and did not help you?’ 45 “He will reply, ‘Truly I tell you, whatever you did not do for one of the least of these, you did not do for me.’

Unquestionably, many of the greatest Biblical Scholars have all written and spoke about our inability to describe the indescribable aspects of God.   With the greatest humbleness, respect and fear of not writing something that is clear about the Perfection of Love, Unity and Understanding between our God in the Three Entities, this author's examples in this topic are hopefully given to stretch our insight to the possibilities and hopefully grasp a tiny fraction of the reality of Perfection in God that inhabits eternity without end.

Perfect Love Demonstrated by the Angels

We are told Angels rejoice when a sinner repents, where this author has even gone as far as to state that all of us while watching at the Great White Thrown of Judgment, will be sad to see even the most evil people in history be sent to the Lake of Fire.   This is possible for us, Angels and the emotional feeling of God because all of us will have perfect love, which as human-beings now do not know what is perfect love.  

Along with perfect love is perfect justice which requires separation from evil that condemns all human-beings who did not have Salvation through the payment of sins from Jesus Christ.
 

Luke 15:7
Jesus Speaking		 I tell you that in the same way, there will be more joy in heaven over one sinner who repents than over ninety-nine righteous persons who need no repentance.

Absence of Perfect Love

The Absence of Perfect Love is removing God from the influence of someone's life.  While we are human-beings, we still have the love of God until the point we make a choice that permanently removes from receiving Salvation.  The antithesis of this is the example of receiving the Mark of the Beast, but God knows when this is done in someone's life, where the examples of when God slew are scriptural proof.

The Fallen Angels and Demons have no love from God and that is the reason they act they way they do which is open warfare against God.  The Fallen Angels and Demons know their destiny also.  The often overlooked scriptural evidence shows that in eternity, all that are in the Lake of Fire will worship God including Lucifer, but it will be to no benefit of the prisoners there with only the knowledge of the loss of Perfect Love they wish was obtainable.

Without God's Perfect Love, we can understand God's influence removed that causes selfishness, hate, envy and murder.  Examining the lives of the most evil people of history is a witness to someone without God in all facets of their lives that often did not start off that way, and only got more evil as their lives continued. 

1 John 4:8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.

With God's Perfect Love

We are created in God's likeness where we can chose to have God's influence and eventually a perfect unity with God in eternity.  

1 John 4:7-12 7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is begotten of God, and knoweth God. 8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love. 9 Herein was the love of God manifested in us, that God hath sent his only begotten Son into the world that we might live through him. 10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. 11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we also ought to love one another. 12 No man hath beheld God at any time: if we love one another, God abideth in us, and his love is perfected in us:
John 15:4-8 4 Abide in me, and I in you. As the branch cannot bear fruit of itself, except it abide in the vine; so neither can ye, except ye abide in me. 5 I am the vine, ye are the branches: He that abideth in me, and I in him, the same beareth much fruit: for apart from me ye can do nothing. 6 If a man abide not in me, he is cast forth as a branch, and is withered; and they gather them, and cast them into the fire, and they are burned. 7 If ye abide in me, and my words abide in you, ask whatsoever ye will, and it shall be done unto you. 8 Herein is my Father glorified, that ye bear much fruit; and so shall ye be my disciples.

What to read next?

A good place to start next on reading is learning more about Adam and Eve that will give you some new perspectives.  Alternatively, what is Salvation?  Is it is possible to lose Salvation?  We have eternal life.  Evolution is not real.  When a Christian suffers is there benefits from it.  Rewards in heaven.  Do we Tithe?  What does the 3rd Commandment tell us?  What is Grace and Mercy?  Is there an Age of Accountability?  Is there a place of unending punishment and exile form God?
