The Question is:-
Pastor in the new earth, will we get the chance to fall in love? Will i get a romantic feeling for a woman? If no one will die there, then no one will be born because of overcrowd, Please explain.
The Answer is:-
There are various views on this issue.
- On the one hand there are those who say that whatever was in the Garden of Eden will be restored therefore, since marriage existed there then so will it be in Heaven or the Earth made new.
- On the other hand, there are others who say there will be no marriage etc. in Heaven or the Earth made new. They cite Matthew 22:25 – 30 which says:
“Now there were with us seven brethren: and the first, when he had married a wife, deceased, and, having no issue, left his wife unto his brother: Likewise the second also, and the third, unto the seventh. And last of all the woman died also. Therefore in the resurrection whose wife shall she be of the seven? for they all had her. Jesus answered and said unto them, Ye do err, not knowing the scriptures, nor the power of God. For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.”
I am afraid that all we are able to do now on this issue is speculate, and it is only when we get to Heaven we will get that answer. However, rest assured that the Bible does indicate that whatever God has in store for us far surpasses anything that we have ever experienced or will ever experience on this earth. (1 Cor. 2:9)

The Question is:-
I have spent most of my life in England (43years), but, to me, Trinidad will ALWAYS be HOME. So, when I read in the Trinidad online papers about the 'slaughtering' of soooo many young Black men; I wondered what the SDA church is doing to give/bring 'alternatives', hope, and peace to the various communities of TnT? Especially the young! There is desperation! Have you guys been to the 'trouble spots' to give different types of aids, spread the WORD etc. ? Just asking. (With pray and supplication........) Thank you for a response. Blessings.

Greetings Sandra,
Thanks for your concern. The church has been doing quite a few of the things you have suggested. Of course, we will be the first to confess that there is definite need for greater efficiency and effectiveness.
It is my view that we need to more visible in the community being seen as those who really care and are interested in alleviating the ills of society.
I will point out that it is critical for us to get to the children and impact their thinking and attitudes before they get set in their ways. If we do so, maybe in 15 years time we should be witnessing a wonderful change.
Do keep praying for us and offering suggestions as we really try to impact lives for Jesus.
Pastor Roger Edwards
