So, depending on the response to Deception (because I’ll find out whether readers like Ollie), Lord willing, there may well be one or more other Ollie stories to come.

The Bible in its entirety is clear on sexuality. Words have meaning in context. 

So what is “ours” is ultimately God’s, including whatever he gives to us. But that is every bit as true here on earth as it is in Heaven. And the fact that God owns whatever is “mine” does not mean there is no distinction between what I own and what others own.  

Returning to the prefall-Adamic state is not our destiny. The glorification we'll experience in the resurrected state will entail the righteousness of Christ which is far beyond the innocence known by Adam and Eve. But the Curse placed on the Earth because of the fall will be removed and the natural world will have an Eden-like quality, as we see from Revelation where the Tree of Life that was in Eden will be on the New Earth.

Whether or not Heaven operates outside the scope of earth’s time sequence, clearly the inhabitants of Heaven track with events happening in time (Rev. 2-3).

The existence of our own individual dwelling places implies privacy. We are also told Christ will give new names to the righteous, known only between him and them (Rev. 2:17).

This was just my imagination. I actually said “If God wishes, He may create new beings for us to rule.” 

I believe that the Bible has greater authority than nature. Creation is “general” revelation only. The Bible is special, much more specific, revelation.

No. Angels and human beings are entirely different creatures.

You are not a conservative or a liberal; you are a follower of Christ.

As a father who loves his children goes out of his way to help them, God promises that he will always give of himself for us. Why? Because he loves us and wants to show forever his appreciation for our loyalty and service to him in this life. Does that mean we deserve God’s grace? Of course not. By definition, God’s grace is something we don’t deserve. If we deserved it, it wouldn’t be grace!

If the New Earth is all the best of the old earth and more, then we should expect it to contain animals.

Will infants who die continue to be infants on the New Earth, or will they grow up? Will everyone appear to be the same age at the resurrection?

If you do not worship God seven days a week, you do not worship Him on one day a week.
