[QUOTE="bbsam, post: 4816688, member: 22662"] I seem to remember reading C. S. Lewis years ago and his description of sin seems appropriate here. I think he referred to man’s natural earthly instincts gone to the extreme. If that is the case, why would it be assumed that those same instincts would be active in heaven? They say, “you can’t take it with you”. That’s earthly possessions. But sin is directed toward earthly ends, is it not? Lust, greed, etc. So if the body is not in heaven, how would those natural world instincts be in play on the spiritual plane? Of course the one sin, that of false pride, is a special case and perhaps is also in play here. It may be that God is unable to accept the spirit that does not concede his supremacy. In the abstract that seems like an awful low bar, but I have seen a lot of people who are terribly proud of themselves. [/QUOTE]
