Excrement in Heaven?

I’m amazed at the extent
of human curiosity as well as the sources of our conflict.

I recently stumbled upon a series of old theological treatises. One that caught my attention questioned whether two angels could occupy the same physical space. Another asked if excrement could exist in heaven.

At first, these issues strike me as superficial, even silly. And I’m amazed at the extent of human curiosity (as well as the sources of our conflict).

But I think the question of excrement in heaven could point to a deeper issue. For instance, are natural body functions — eating, defecation, flatulence, perspiration or intercourse — unclean? Will we somehow lose the physical aspects of our existence when we enter eternity? Sure, on the surface, it seems a waste of thought. But the implications are huge.
