The Dolorosa is Latin for "The Grieving." You call her Mary more than likely

The only Mary I have heard of was a foul whore.

Re: Clothes in Heaven.

I think there are standards to be maintained, not to mention sights that should not be seen in a Land of Eternal Bliss.

I've often puzzled over this question, especially when looking at other cultures, visiting their ghastly countries with enormous piles of rotting vegetables, bowel complaints and imaginary bordello heavens. Very unappealing.

MARK 12 .KJV . look up
24 [Jesus speaking] Do ye not therefore err, because ye know not the scriptures, neither the power of God?
25 For when they shall rise from the dead, they neither marry, nor are given in marriage; but are as the angels which are in heaven.

Obviously the Pharisees and Sadducees had no more interest in reality that the catholics and orthodoxes do today, squabbling among themselves from one century to the next. Whatever they're calling "God" clearly is not one Lord as Jesus said in VERSE 29. At the opposite end of this spectrum we have the harmony of the Gospels.

THE GOSPEL WITNESS .KJV .. cf original text . MATTHEW . MARK . LUKE . total occurrences (6)
MATTHEW 27:59 And when Joseph had taken the body, he wrapped it in a clean linen cloth

MARK 15:46 And he bought fine linen, and took him down, and wrapped him in the linen, and laid him in a sepulchre which was hewn out of a rock, and rolled a stone unto the door of the sepulchre.

LUKE 23:53 And he took it down, and wrapped it in linen, and laid it in a sepulchre that was hewn in stone, wherein never man before was laid.

MARK'S YOUNG MAN

Jesus was dead at last. When He became sin for us His cadaver was wrapped in a particular type of covering. It would not be in very good condition after the treatment He'd received and yet the covering is not merely a funeral shroud. Sin was cast off from humanity changing the universe forever! (Provided we as individuals accept God's promise.) We know this because as Jesus was transforming into sin II CORINTHIANS 5:21 and abandoned by His disciples a young man who'd persisted found freedom by casting off what he'd worn in his exuberance fleeing naked, leaving the old garment behind. It is the same type of garment Jesu's cadaver was wrapped in, a garment concealing the sin He had become. The power of resurrection was released into our universe setting us free at last. (But obviously condemning everyone else.)

After Jesus returned from hell (which was before His body decomposed ACTS 2:27&31) the old garments were cast aside JOHN 20:5&6 LUKE 24:12 and a young man similarly dressed was present to witness these facts.

THE YOUNG MAN .KJV .. cf original text . MARK 14 . MARK16 . Strong's
MARK 14:51-52 And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked.

MARK 16:5-6 And entering into the sepulchre, they saw a young man sitting on the right side, clothed in a long white garment; and they were affrighted. And he saith unto them, Be not affrighted: Ye seek Jesus of Nazareth, which was crucified: he is risen; he is not here: behold the place where they laid him.

Exactly as promised, Jesus was not left in hell. He came back. When the prodigal son came back from wallowing in sin he, like Mark's young man, was clothed in a new robe. God used that word twice in The New Testament firstly to describe the robe given to the prodigal son and secondly to describe what the young man was wearing in the empty tomb. When the young man fled naked as Jesus was transforming into sin, the burial cloth was cast off just as Jesus cast off His sinless nature becoming sin for us. That is why we are able to cast off our sinful nature. The type of clothing described by God before and after these transformations are different types in all cases. The prodigal son before and after his sin-wallowing experience. Jesus before and after His transformation into sin. The young man before and after fleeing naked. Jesus made clear that sub-angelic gonad obsessions will be things of the past in Heaven but in the examples I've posted the "after" conditions still include clothes, just not serving to remind us of the disgrace we inherit from Eve. Different types of clothes worn for different reasons and celebrating Redemption in Jesus.

Re: Clothes in Heaven.

I practice Christianity differently than you and tolerence needs to be learned.

Many billions of people practice their religion differently. GOD is very clear on what happens to those people. Eternal damnation in a pit of hellfire. Your salvation is lost, and you will be judged at the pearly gates just as you have on earth. Jesus told Nicodemus, “Most assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water [baptized] and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God” (John 3:5, NKJV). Also, I do not know if there is a different criteria to enter black heaven, or where a half and half person would go... black or white heaven? I require some scriptural assistance.

There is no Scriptural support for nigra heaven as Jesus has provided many, many ways that a nigra can put aside his colour for Christ.
