Opus 2025-388: Will Heaven Be Perfect?

I am currently of the mind that heaven will not be perfect, at least not in the sense that we tend to think of perfection.  God is certainly capable of creating a perfect environment, but the problem He has is He’s working with us.

As close to being what God wants us to be as we can get, we will still have massive differences based on our personalities, our preferences or perceptions.  We will always disagree on something.  If we don’t, it means that we are robots with no free will.

Based on that, I’m assuming that there will be some trade-off even an eternity.  It won’t be a big issue.  Even the trade-off situation will be designed by God to work in a harmony that allows us all to rejoice in the God of our salvation.  But don’t expect the celestial choir to always sing the hymns you like.  There might be a time when they go with contemporary music.  They might present something from a culture you have never heard of.  God will give you the patience to deal with it and might even work a miracle and give you a spiritual gift of interpretation when it comes to contemporary music.

Whatever it is going to be like, it is going to be glorious.  I hope you join me there.
