I did say that I agreed with Pilgrim, but I also believe that shouldn't stop us from asking.

Tom,
You and all us of will ask, or some kind of communication when we get to heaven. However, even when we ask and though we receive an answer we still will
not know it all about any given issue. We will always be learning ...
The theological phrase for understanding this is to understand that knowledge is a "web of multiple reciprocities." An example of this is that you may ask a question on the Freedom of man vs. the Sovereignty of God. However, though you receive an answer, and a complete one for the level you are at the present time, it still will not exhaust God's knowledge and will you still
not know it all, though the answer is from the very lips of God himself. See the "web of multiple reciprocities" means that ALL knowledge [without exception] is interconnected and thus to "totally" understand everything about our example "the Freedom of man vs. the Sovereignty of God" one would have to correspondingly understand its relationship to "everything else" [without exception]. Since, we are finite beings, we will never achieve this, however, we will be incorruptibly perfect and yet incorruptibly learning (somewhat as the original Adam was created to be, except unlike him we will not be able to sin).
So, though you may agree with Pilgrim and I, I just desired to clarify that even though one may ask a question and get a complete answer, it will only be as complete as your level of growth is at that time and there will always be more to learn about the question(s) you ask. <img src="/forum/images/graemlins/cloud9.gif" alt="" />
