Zone1 Is God Really Going To Give Us New Names In Heaven?

[Road Runner]

I was just listening to something where the guy was saying that. What if we like our names and don't want a new one? Or does it even mean our birth names?

Mine will probably stay the same as my mother issued.

Revelation 2:17
17 He that hath an ear, let him hear what the Spirit saith unto the churches; To him that overcometh will I give to eat of the hidden manna, and will give him a white stone, and in the stone a new name written, which no man knoweth saving he that receiveth it.

I don't think there are any names in Heaven April as that would imply individual identities and ego. In heaven, you return to and become one with the Supreme again, on Earth, you have a separate physical identity, the basis of sin--- separateness from God.

Then what would we all call each other?

You're still thinking in a limited, finite earthly sense. In heaven, there is no need to call each other anything because you are all one, like drops of water returned to the ocean. There is no individual identity, no passage of time, no up, no down, no distance, no space, no birth, no death, just one mind, one consciousness which encompasses all.

It is an entirely different, higher plane of existence. Your brain is made of billions of cells but they are all one mind, there is no separate identity for each cell.

Because you fret over trivial things. You think you know better than God.

When I stand before God, and He does ANYTHING for me, including eternal life, I will just stand in AWE of Him including me into His family.

I still like my name.
