Karl, this question has come up in church many times. Remember that as a
spiritual being in a new body, you will retain some of the characteristics
you have now, but there will also be many differences. Remember, there is
to be no pain in Heaven, so you may not even know or care that others are
being punished. We know it's going to be quite different as the lion will
be lying down with the lamb. Therefore, even enemies on Earth will be at
peace in Heaven. It will be quite different and it is understandable if we
don't quite comprehend everything as a living person.
