Hi Aware,

Let's assume for the sake of argument the following:
Why assume anything.

1) When we get to Heaven there will be no sorrow or regret.
Along with no pain, crying or death.
Aware Wolf writes:
2) Some of those we now consider loved ones will not be in Heaven with us.
Far too many.
And probably some of them not there because of me.
Aware Wolf writes:
3) The reason we don't feel sorrow or regret over #2 is because #2 is truly not a justification for those emotions. IOW, it's not because God zapped our memories or forced our attitudes to conform to this against our will.
The reason we won't have those is found in:
Revelation 21:4 And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
It seems like there has been a lot of pain that caused tears to the point God had to remove the source of the pain.
When Christ sets up His 1000 year reign on earth I will be there and I will know all my loved ones that are there and I will also know those who are missing. I then have 1000 years to regret not being the witness I needed to be or being able to convince them of their need of salvation.
On top of that I will be there when they stand before God at the Great White Throne judgment and have them point a finger at me and say why didn't you do what you was supposed to do. If you had I would not be in this situation. I would probably agree with them as I agonized about their fate as I saw them cast into the lake of fire.
Yes there would be much pain and sorrow. In fact too much to bear. Therefore God would have to intervene and remove that pain and sorrow. If He didn't heaven would be one miserable place.
Aware Wolf writes:
Any desire by us to want our loved ones to get to Heaven, while understandable in human emotional terms, is not warranted.
You apparently do not believe in God, heaven or the lake of fire, and you have no concept of what they are or mankind's standing before God the judge.
Heaven = where God and all those who receive His free full pardon will spend eternity in the new heaven and the new earth.
The lake of fire = The devils final resting place and all those who do not exercise their option of receiving God's free full pardon will spend eternity.
A Man/woman has accepted God's offer of a free full pardon.
OR
A Man/woman is condemned already to spend eternity in the lake of fire.
John 3:18 He that believeth on him is not condemned: but he that believeth not is condemned already, because he hath not believed in the name of the only begotten Son of God.
There is no choice.
Only an option.
God Bless,
