If I go to heaven, can I visit relatives who might be in hell?

If we all died tomorrow, presumably, grandma doesn't want to go to heaven as her old frail self, but instead, a younger version of herself in her prime. And my young niece would feel cheated if she can't take a more "grown up" form.

Someone will be disappointed.

So my question is, what age are we when we get there, and if it's whatever age we want to be, my niece will likely take an older form than my grandma which would be very confusing. How will everyone tell each other apart?

Why is it my homework? I don't feel that I need to be providing Biblical quotes. I just provided my opinion based on what i understand of Christianity. If you don't agree then tell me why.

ah.
I understand now.

Unfortunately, I cannot answer that question.

Because you made the claim and I know of no part of the Bible that confirms your claim.

Fair enough.

Again: Fair enough.

I do not agree nor do I disagree.
I am fine with being honest enough to admit I do not know.

You were the one who answered his question as though you knew.
I was just hoping to increase my knowledge of the subject by learning of the verses that support your opinion.

My opinions are based on what I hear from Christians again and again. I'm surrounded by them. But I have not read the Bible.

My apologies.
You gave the impression from your answer that you knew.
I assumed that you did.

There is no heaven or hell, you'd better party now.

Given that Heaven and hell are spiritual conditions, not places, and that our scriptures say we'll still know each other and interact with each other in the Next Life, this should be no problem whatever!

Peace, :-)

i don't think the Xian bible says any of this, some church doctrine might.
