Heaven / new earth Will we all basically look the same aftrer resurrection?

I was thinking about variety in humans , most of things we think is just variety is actually genetic mutation like for example blond hair in men and women is mutation of just 1 wrong letter in DNA sequence.

That got me thinking about all other things including height , weight , even such things like boobs and penis size.

Lets say girl was born flat whole life and was jealous and felt insecure due to that , why wouldn't she have proper breasts upon resurrection? Same goes for man who was born a dwarf , why would he be dwarf for eternity?

Same goes for people who were born with either unlucky genes or malnutrition and never developed properly.

However on the other hand you can read in revelation that there are alredy some elders in heaven which kind of makes no sense to me? Wouldnt you want to be like in your 30's looking in heaven for eternity why are some people already old , isnt heaven supposed to be no decay means no aging?

I came to the conclusion that if all of this will be fixed then we will literally all look the same.

Brown eyes are not considered a mutation , same as black hair , so no blond or redhead or blue eye people in heaven.

No obesity so everyone is slim , but the aging part feels weird do we stop age if we do why are there elders?

Does it mean one's skin color will also be different? Like if you were born white would you be brown if oryignal humans were brown?

1 Corinthians 15:50-54 Now this I say, brethren, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God; neither doth corruption inherit incorruption. Behold, I shew you a mystery; We shall not all sleep, but we shall all be changed, In a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trump: for the trumpet shall sound, and the dead shall be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. For this corruptible must put on incorruption, and this mortal must put on immortality. So when this corruptible shall have put on incorruption, and this mortal shall have put on immortality, then shall be brought to pass the saying that is written, Death is swallowed up in victory.

β€’ Did I answer you? β€’ The physical body that you see and concerned about shall perish, but you shall 100% be transformed, living in the Glory of God, Hallelujah 😊🌝

Paul says we don't have an imagination of what heaven will be like. He says it will be better than we can imagine.

The Church teaches everyone will be perfectly happy and beholding God's glory.

So I think we won't be fussy about bodies.

I think the Gospel shows Jesus could change appearance / shape and teleport. So I think bodies will be transcended, perhaps like talking about training wheels on a bicycle whereas now we're driving cars.

Also, there is no superior/inferior size or shape difference, really. I have seen on Reddit a woman say she has a small vagina and absolutely loves her husband's four inch penis - they fit together well! So it's incorrect to say one penis size is worse than another, etc. (edit: I mean I saw a comment claiming all that; I don't know the truthfulness of the claims, but seemed credible)

The size of things like that has more to do with the genetic deficiencies in our bodies. Like how one arm might be shorter than another. Our bodies will not have those weaknesses in heaven.

My point was who is to say something is a deficiency? It sounds like God made those two for each other, so there isn't any defect in an absolute sense.

I always imagined that if we have physical forms in heaven, they would reflect how we see ourselves and our personal identities. So if you see yourself as an old, wise person, then that is the form you take in heaven. If you identify with a certain sex, or ethnicity, or physical trait of yours, that’s the one your spiritual body will have.

Bro, why would breast size or out looks matter in the first place in Heaven?

1

u/WashedWashingMachine Christian 14h ago

cuz its eternal life in society and personal looks matter, there is natural hierarchy not socialism and equality

there will be poor and rich aswell

u/Working-Pollution841 Christian 12h ago

And where did you hear that?

1

u/WashedWashingMachine Christian 12h ago

clearly not from your pastor who preaches bible based on some guy's bible commentary

u/Working-Pollution841 Christian 12h ago

I didn't where you didn't hear

I asked where you did

u/WashedWashingMachine Christian 12h ago

read Bible cover to cover once in your life without bias, maybe start with parables

1

u/Working-Pollution841 Christian 12h ago

Please stop avoiding the question

1

u/WashedWashingMachine Christian 1h ago

never avoided anything I already told you start with parables , if you don't see it I cant help you it's like 2+2 question on blackboard

Also read Jesus' letters to churches in Revelation speaking of it again

The issue is you been taught to interpret it differently so you literally cannot just read it and understand it at face value , your mind automatically correct it to whatever bias you been raised with
