Revelation 21:4
He will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed away.

No problem...ha! I do not know how Calvinists do it. They can "bring up a child in the way they should go" but if they were not chosen to be saved, won't matter how good Christian parents bring up their kids.
My guess is that after God wipes our tears away, we will see everything differently. He will show us perhaps, what He sees in an unsaved person perhaps? And, seeing them as He does would change our hearts and minds. But then again, there is a scripture verse saying we will remember no more the things of the earth, or the "world". ¯\_(ヅ)_/¯
Personally, I believe it is the punishment of eternal fire, not the eternal punishment of fire. Otherwise, wouldn't that make God a monster, considering He has all foreknowledge? He is either the God of love or He isn't. I believe He is. Shalom
Well, how can we be happy knowing that some of our loved ones are suffering horribly in Hell?

You won't know, you will be made to forget.
What is Hell?
Oh, I see. Hell is where babies come from.
Can I get a confirmation?
Matthew 23:15
"Woe unto you, scribes and Pharisees, hypocrites! for ye compass sea and land to make one proselyte, and when he is made, ye make him twofold more the child of hell than yourselves."
Yep. Even Jesus said it. Children come from Hell.
How about another Witness...
Isaiah 51:1
"Hearken to me, ye that follow after righteousness, ye that seek the LORD: look unto the rock whence ye are hewn, and to the hole of the pit whence ye are digged."
Wait... people come from the Pit? I thought the "Pit" was Hell?
Isaiah 51:2
"Look unto Abraham your father, and unto Sarah that bare you: for I called him alone, and blessed him, and increased him."
Oh, I see. Sarah, or rather her Womb, is the 'Pit'.
Well, what do you know? Hell is simply a parable for the place we all came from.
I wonder how we got there to begin with?
That has nothing to do with it. Understanding the difference between "dead in trespasses and sins", and, "alive in Christ" will answer your question.
Much love!

Will we lose our free will or gain God's and be of one accord in all things?
Heaven is going to be awesome...
All have the same opportunity.
I won't be missing anything or anyone.
God has been more than fair. Always faithful and consistent.

If He says there will be no more mourning or crying there won't be so you'd better believe.

This is a silly question, IMO.
Of course, no one here wants to think our loved ones will end up in hell! The fact is we don't know for sure who will end up there. Only God does. You never know if someone has repented as they are dying.
In heaven, God will wipe away every tear and there will be no more sorrow, no more crying....

I'm another person that doesn't believe a non-believers fate is forever being bonfire-fuel.
Rather, I believe that after a time of torment, a non-believer will be able to receive the most happiness from God that they are comfortable with. That's not the crown of a glorious co-heir with Christ-- such a person won't be comfortable with that because it's not the type of life they've lived or person they are.
As to my feelings on it: obviously I would like every person to have the full happiness of embracing Christ in this lie and the next. Yes, it makes me sad that some people don't want that and choose lesser things. But I also do move on from that feeling, acknowledging that such is their choice.
Erasing one's fond memories of a loved one violates their free-will. I don't believe that God does such a thing. My GUESS is that nobody goes to Hell permanently.

Everyone gets to have their own opinion!
Do you remember the birth canal? Your first look at your mother?
No?
Who would DARE erase such wonderful memories??? I can't imagine!
But then, I can't think of any place where the Bible says God will erase our memories. But it does say we won't remember.
Much love!

The memory of them will have been forgotten. In Ecc. there is a verse that says the dead know not anything under the sun.

Charles "Taze" Russell had so many fears and concerns about Hell that he started a religion that denied the existence of Hell and printed a Bible to deny the Deity of Christ...amongst other things.
Life is not fair and reality is harsh.
Considering heaven is sort of a reward there is very little in the scriptures that describes it.
There been times I have been tasked to explain elements of Astrophysics and Quantum mechanics to groups. I get the deer in the headlights look if I get into the details. So i learned to explain things in simplistic functions. I am thinking that is the same reason that we only get short and simple explanations about Heaven because most of it would be hard for us to comprehend.
But were told that there will be no sadness or tears in Heaven so if we are going to trust God this far, it only makes since to figure He has plan.
