Should we want our loved ones to get to Heaven?

In the Eternal Life (thanks, but no thanks) thread iano and I had a short back and fort about whether we ought to want our loved ones to get into Heaven, seeing as when we are in Heaven, we supposedly will not feel any regret or sorrow over loved ones that fail to make it there with us. It was suggested that this be moved to its own thread, so here we are.Let's assume for the sake of argument the following:
1) When we get to Heaven there will be no sorrow or regret.
2) Some of those we now consider loved ones will not be in Heaven with us.
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.My contention is that, given the above and for-knowledge of the above, it is irrational to want our loved ones to get to Heaven, because the other outcome must be at least equally as desirable or we would have justification for regret/sorrow after the fact. Any desire by us to want our loved ones to get to Heaven, while understandable in human emotional terms, is not warranted.Faith and Belief? This is my first attempt at starting a thread so I'll defer to the moderators.Edited by Adminnemooseus, : In red note at top.

This topic is aimed at those who believe in heaven, or at least can grant such for the sake of the discussion. If you are not one of those people, please DO NOT post in this topic."There is no such thing as heaven" type messages are off-topic.Adminnemooseus
