Cause the old will be made new
There will be a new heaven and a new earth

The passage is Numbers 22, it was the story of Balaam. This is James Patrick Holding's take on Dan Barker's critique on Balaam's donkey. Basically, God was trolling Balaam through Balaam's donkey.
Okay ill look it up
Oh but exactly who would be in heaven and who would be in New earth?
Does it say that anywhere or are we unsure?
Christians?
Maybe
It talks about it in Isaiah
Oh
It says animals like lions will eat hay with the lambs
Stuff like that
I have to find those verses
Imma search New earth in my Bible app
Might find something
Oh Jeez! It talks about it multiple times!
Lol ya
Cause is says Jesus is preparing a place for us
Isaiah 65:17, says the former shall not be remembered or come into mind. Do you have an idea on what it means by that.
Cause if it means we'll forget our life on current Earth, I dunno if I want to forget it
The New Heavens and New Earth is a merism to refer to the New Creation. We would still be in Planet Earth as Resurrected Bodies.
It may be better that way
Lest we remember sin
I guess...
But we'd remember something right? Like our Names and that there was an earth before?
Im sure we will
Aw okay
Works for me
Some are given a new name
Makes sense
If I am not mistaken
From the revelation passage
I think Isaiah is being hyperbolic and ironic about it. We won't literally be wiped out of our memory of the previous life before the Resurrection. We would basically pay no mind to the past. Much like how some of you had a horrible past but don't make it part of your identity nor pay too much attention. That attitude will be adopted by us in the Eternal State about our current life.
βHe who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To him who overcomes I will give some of the hidden manna to eat. And I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written which no one knows except him who receives it. β β
Revelation 2:17
Oh
Much like how God doesn't look at our past since when jesus paid the price for them
