In a few days, my 81 yo mother will be going to an oral surgeon to have two rotted rear teeth removed. In mid December, my dentist will extract a split tooth of mine. (I'd have it done sooner if not for my commuting schedule and the fact that she is booked solid on the only day of the week I'm available for the next few weeks.)
My mom and I are believing Christians (MO Synod Lutherans). Will we Christians get our lost body parts back when God takes us home? Please cite Scripture.
I ask this because my belief that we will have perfect bodies in heaven was shaken by a conversation my mom and I about that verse in Revelation “Behold I will make everything new”. Does that verse include the saved souls?
I ran a question to that effect past mom and she said (perhaps not paying attention), “I don’t think God’s worried about that.” This has shaken my faith.
Will my mom and I lose the teeth we’ve lost and are about to lose for eternity? What about amputees such as my mom’s aunt/my great aunt, who died in her 80’s in 1981, legless and blind from diabetes? Will they remain limbless in heaven?
Please help me on this.

How about foreskins for us guys? And if so will we then need to go through circumcision again?
Do women’s hymens get restored?
That is an incorrect interpretation because it is out of the context of the question asked by the saducees of jesus.
If you want to know what the bible says, then Read the bible, not what people say about the bible.
The question asked of jesus concerned marriage in heaven, not sex in heaven.
That same day the Sadducees, who say there is no resurrection, came to him with a question. 24 “Teacher,” they said, “Moses told us that if a man dies without having children, his brother must marry the widow and raise up offspring for him. 25 Now there were seven brothers among us. The first one married and died, and since he had no children, he left his wife to his brother. 26 The same thing happened to the second and third brother, right on down to the seventh. 27 Finally, the woman died. 28 Now then, at the resurrection, whose wife will she be of the seven, since all of them were married to her?”
If none of us will be cisgender in heaven, then does it matter if jenner shows up as bruce or caitlin?
(I have to say goodnight at this point, as I have to get up pretty early, but I think these are interesting questions to ponder.)
Thank you for explaining!!
Thanks!!
Can I beat up Jenner in heaven?
I’m joking...sort of.
And his stripes.
I’d like to be 4 inches taller.
At my dad’s funeral, when the pastor asked if anyone wanted to share memories of my dad, one by one, people piped up with stories of how he came when called and killed whatever critter was “scaring” them.
I was mortified.
Of all the innumerable good things he did for people, his generosity, his hard work helping them, killing “scary” critters was what they said.
Like his whole life was summed up as an animal assassin.
It was surrealistic.
You, my dear, are perfect just as you are.
The rest of us will just have to get used to being 4” shorter...
Never know what is going to stick in people’s heads and then it squirts out at weird times - funerals being a prime time for it.
*blushing furiously*
:)
I was speechless.
I just turned around and stared at them, each in their turn.
It was like some bizarre and dark comedy skit.
