... believers in heaven will have a body like Christ's without a sin nature.
God's Plan required a human being for a test of human volition.
if god is happy with his son jesus, why would he need to test a different system.
if god knows mans system will fail then why bother putting it into action.
how do we know christ will not sin? we are given no time line on how long it took lucifer to turn and sin. at one point he was as pure as christ.
the words 'human' and 'test' put together in the context of your post are pretty sick.
why test something when you know 100% what the answer is???????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????unless god didnt know the answer...........

Here are the largest numbers I could find as a layman's point of reference:
Googol: A large number. A "1" followed by one hundred zeros.
10,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,
000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000,000
Googolplex: The second largest number with a name.
A "1" followed by a googol of zeros.
See www.Googolplex.com
Googolplexian: The worlds largest number with a name.
A "1" followed by a googolplex of zeros.

Question: Is anyone able to fathom the infinite quantitative/qualitative aspect of an eternity with or separated from God?
