Will There Be Obese People or Dwarfs in Heaven, Since God Made Man to Have Variety?
1) Direct Answer
No. In heaven there will be no obesity, no dwarfism, no deformity, and no effects of the fall. All the redeemed will be changed into a perfect, glorified body—balanced, whole, and in the prime of life—yet still themselves.
2) Scriptural Explanation
- The Bible says our bodies will be changed to be like His: “Who shall change our vile body, that it may be fashioned like unto his glorious body” (Philippians 3:21).
- The resurrection body is “raised in incorruption… raised in glory… raised in power… a spiritual body” (1 Corinthians 15:42–44, 49). Corruption and weakness are gone.
- “God shall wipe away all tears… there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain” (Revelation 21:4). Pain, disease, and defect do not enter there.
- The Kingdom promise is restoration: “Then the eyes of the blind shall be opened… the lame man leap as an hart” (Isaiah 35:5–6). What was lacking is made whole.
- “We shall be like him; for we shall see him as he is” (1 John 3:2). Like Christ—recognizable, real, but glorified (Luke 24:39).
3) Simple Clarifying Logic
- Obesity, dwarfism, and every bodily defect are marks of the present fallen order. The resurrection removes the fall’s damage and restores God’s original intention.
- Variety is God’s delight in identity, tribes, tongues, gifts, and glory (Revelation 7:9; 1 Corinthians 15:38–41). But variety is not deformity. God’s diversity remains; the curse does not.
- We will still be ourselves and know one another, but without any excess, lack, sickness, or limitation.
Short Reinforcing Statement
You see, God doesn’t carry the scars of the fall into glory. He perfects His people. The body will be like Jesus’—whole, strong, and glorious. So, no obesity, no dwarfism—only the redeemed in perfect, restored bodies to the praise of His grace.

Now, when God made man in His image, he was a spirit-man. And it was then there was no man to till the soil. Then He created man out of the dust of the earth. Now, chronologists and so forth, and these people that search and get old bones and so forth, and believe in evolution... I believe in the right kind of evolution. Man evolutes from himself, but not all from one cell. No, sir. Because a bird has been a bird ever since God made him a bird, and a monkey's been a monkey, a man's been a man. That's right.

CAB 9:E-28
Before we close this section on the messenger of the Laodicean Age, we must seriously consider these two thoughts. First, this age will have ONE Prophet-Messenger. Revelation 10:7, says, "When he (singular) shall begin to sound." There has never been an age where God gave His people two major prophets at one time. He gave Enoch (alone); He gave Noah (alone); He gave Moses (he alone had the Word though others prophesied); John the Baptist came ALONE. Now in this last day there is to be a PROPHET (not a prophetess--t...

Now that we have come this far, let me try to crystallize your thinking on this subject so you can see the necessity of our going into the 'serpent seed doctrine' as I have. We start with the fact that there were TWO trees in the midst of the garden. The Tree of Life was Jesus. The other tree is definitely Satan because of what came forth of the fruit of that tree. Now then, we know that both of those trees had a relationship to man or they would never have been placed there. They must have had a part in the sovere...

He as ever ... keeps His promise to us. Every promise that He has made He's kept it. Has He told you what would happen, and did it happen? I bring heavens and earth before you today in a challenge: Has God ever said anything that He has not fulfilled and done exactly what He said He would do for us? Has He done it just the way He said He would do it? That's exactly. So will He continue to do it. Just don't add to it. Don't take from it. Just believe it and walk humble before the Lord your God, for we're nearing the...

I've heard that discussed many times, and around the world; discussions come up on that. Now in Genesis 2:7, watch what He did here. All right, here it is: And ... God formed man out of the dust of the ground, and breathed into his nostrils the breath of life; and man became a living soul. Now, what kind of formation... The questioner wants to ask: QUESTION: What connection does this Genesis 1:26 have with Genesis 2:7? God created two men. And which was the man, and what connection does that have? How does it conne...
