  • Does time exist in Heaven?

    This is a question posed to me by an atheist on CAF.  I seem to have a sober ongoing conversation with Jerlak JB.  I am attempting to establish axioms so that we can move forward about Faith in terms of logic.

  • Another question posed was:

    Is one able to learn (or think) in Heaven?

  • You can find your answers in Providence by Garrigou-Lagrange which is available for free online or through TAN Books.

    What is there to learn in Heaven?

    How can time exist in eternity which is outside of time? Is is an everlasting now.

  • Yes, it transcends time, which is why eternal facts like the Crucifixion can be experienced at Mass, or why the Resurrection applies to souls which walked the earth before Christ.
