Feb 20, 2007 · So my conclusion is: What we will forget and what we will remember is not a simple class of bad and good.

If it would hinder our worship we will forget it. As an analogy consider this.

Further, we could say that we will know God’s justice so co...
A third view is that we will in fact retain all of our memories but we will not actively bring to mind traumatic or grievous memories. I think this view has advantages over the prior two without excluding their insights. In considering the memory retention view, I take my cue from Isaiah’s prophecy of the New Heavens and Earth in which God says: Fo...
With our memory and passions ordered, we will therefore not undergo the suffering of memory. We will have access to evil in the past. But as we often go multiple hours without thinking about past evil, so we will keep that memory in our mind’s safe. It is there and has formed who we are as a person. But it no longer tells our story for us—our past ...
Jan 8, 2021 · The second time we forget “what is behind” is when we enter heaven. Everything that makes us long for eternity now—pain, suffering, death, failure, and sorrow in this life—will be forgotten: “And God will wipe away every tear from their eyes; there shall be no more death, nor sorrow, nor crying.
In summary, the conclusions regarding Revelation 6:9–11 are fairly straightforward. Although this passage is specific to the intermediate state—and not to the new heaven and new earth (21:1–22:5)—it provides one of the clearest glimpses regarding the picture of eternal memory as detailed.
