If we are not subject to death, need rest or the material things of life, why should we need a room of our own?

You would need to ask Jesus that question
He is the One Who said...
Jhn 14:2 In my Father’s house are many mansions: if [it were] not [so], I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you.
Jhn 14:3 And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, [there] ye may be also. John 14:2, 3
place... in those verses...in the Greek is topos... a spot, a location, a home..
mansion in the Greek....monay...a staying, (residence) a mansion..
so Jesus has mansions in Heaven ready for us

I didn’t question the existence of Heavenly mansions. The poster to whom I was responding had asked a question about logic in Heaven and I responded with another logical question about the need for those mansions. We will all someday discover the real meaning of that scripture and we will all praise the Lord for His goodness and mercy, even those of us who many of you believe will end up in Hell since every knee will bow and every tongue confess the Lord, regardless of where he or she ends up. Peace to you and may your mansion be bigger than anyone else’s.;o)
Thanks for an excellent post and the original Greek word “topos” and “monay”.
