Heavenly Matters
Toilets are uniquely designed for one purpose only,
And as we know them, they are dispellers of waste.
Our human waste is a byproduct of consumed food.
The body extracts useful nutrients and expels the rest.
We excrete the waste into toilets that deliver to sewages.
Such tools as toilets would have no useful function in heaven.
God never intended for us to be informed about every heavenly matter.
So far, I have not read any scholarly dissertation about heaven's waste.
Of course, my reading has its limitations, but basically, by God's own choice,
heaven houses things celestial, and earth is equipped for things terrestrial.
I cannot imagine toilets nor waste products in the present nor new heaven .
There will be a new heaven and a new earth-emphasis on the word 'new'.
For one, we will have, not mortal, but immortal bodies in heaven. Some
might infer that our bodies will be like Jesus' resurrected body, but we must
keep in mind that although it was raised a different body, he still was able
to consume earthly food at breakfast with his disciples. Therefore, still
an earthbound human, Jesus had components required for earthly existence,
even if for only 40 days.
I suspect, and I can easily imagine, that the foods we consume in heaven
will be foods having all nutrients, fully consumed and processed, with no waste products. In other words, whatever our immortal bodies require from the heavenly foods, energy for example, our bodies will fully absorb, leaving nothing wasted. By the way, I find the entire question very interesting and fascinating. I commend the contest sponsor.
