Here is my Problem, several years ago on Facebook, I looked up several old classmates from Elementary School & Junior High School, and they accepted me as Friends, Likewise, some other old classmates looked me up, and I accepted them as friends on Facebook , but a few old classmates I looked up were very nasty & rude and didn't want to be friends on Facebook, one completely ignored me, and another was nasty as hell, this deeply upset me and hurt my feelings, I did take it personally, Now as a Christian I try to Help Others when I can, since these few old classmates who didn't want to be Friends on Facebook, I'm thinking hopefully in Heaven , at least in Heaven, God will make it so me and them will be Friends, face to face, that God will make it so me and them will be friends, and that God will make it happen in such a way, that God would NOT violate their "Free Will" their friendship means a lot to me,
Some Christians think of Heaven as a Place where Everyone will be Reconciled to God, but also to each other, that Hatred will disappear, and that everyone in Heaven will feel only Love towards each other, so how do we speculate God would make it so me and these old classmates become Friends, without violating anyone's "Free Will"

Why is it necessary for you to be friends with these people?

People change from year to year and just because you knew someone from back in elementary school doesn't mean they are the same person (in fact, I would be concerned if they WERE).

Do you actually have friends in real life? Surely they are more important than any online ones? Treasure they people who inhabit your real world and worry about them rather than the ones who are just words on a screen.

Not that I think you will pay any attention to me but rather you'll just keep repeating the same thing over and over again hoping we will agree with you.

Rodney, Yes I have friends in real life, as well as online, but still I care about them, and I feel bad about not getting to know them better back in Elementary and Junior High School, I was shy back then, I hope at least in Heaven me and them can be Friends, face to face, and that God will make it happen without violating anyone's "Free Will"

Don't feel bad. Get on with your life and when you meet them in heaven you can apologise then- you'll have all of eternity to get to know them. They'll probably be nicer people, too.

Rodney you typed
"Don't feel bad. Get on with your life and when you meet them in heaven you can apologise then- you'll have all of eternity to get to know them. They'll probably be nicer people, too." so by this statement you think me and them will at least be friends in Heaven face to face, since it means a lot to me, in this case of my old classmates, I don't think I did anything wrong, I think they owe me an apology for being rude and nasty, but I am willing to Forgive them, I found out that some of these old classmates lived a few blocks near my Apartment growing up when I was in Elementary & Junior High School, I really feel bad about being shy back then, and not getting to know them better, well hopefully at least in Heaven, since the Bible says "With God all things are Possible" God will make it so me and them can become good friends, without violating their "Free Will" or my "Free Will" Let's all try to keep the debate civil & respectful

Give it up, Rodney. All he wants is validation for his vindictiveness.

Yes I think you're right, Scott. I'm not sure he's capable of hearing outside of his own echo chamber.

I don't think I'm in an echo chamber of any kind, I'm just seeking answers

Good for you.

Rodney, I hope to meet them in Heaven, my old classmates, I never did anything bad to them, so certainly in Heaven God could make it so me and them become good friends face to face, without violating their "Free Will" Certainly God would be able to do that, to make us see the good in each other, after all in the Bible doesn't it say
"A Heart of Stone, into a Heart of Flesh"

Yes it does.

And good for you.

Let's get theological & Biblical , what would God have against me and these old classmates being friends in Heaven ? Certainly God can make it happen, I never did anything bad to them

Good for you.

In my Church, a Sunday Program included a Prayer that said "Turn Enemies into Friends"
while these old classmates are not my enemies, they aren't my friends either , I hope in Heaven God makes it so me and them are Good Friends, As Pastors say, God can make the impossible Possible,
Tim, I know "Good for me" can we have an intelligent debate

Good for you.

Which would bring glory to God more, which would make God happier, that me and these old classmates become good friends, face to face in Heaven , or that me and them are kept forever apart even in Heaven for all Eternity, Many Christians speculate that everyone who is in Heaven will be Reconciled not only to God but to each other !!
Before Tim types "Good for you" to me, let's have an honest intellectual civil debate about this

Good for you

Hi all,
I am closing this discussion off from further comments at this time. I believe it has run its course and Jeff's questions have been debated to a sufficient point.

Thanks.
