I never said there would be. If you go back and read the thread title it says will there be sexual desire in heaven and that can mean a lot of different things to a lot of different people.
Sexual desire often starts out with a chance meeting or friendship and then grows into passion and romance and usually ends in kissing and sex. I'm pretty sure there will be friendship and kissing in heaven. I can't see God banning that. lol
'Greet ye one another with a kiss of love. Peace be with you all that are in Christ Jesus. Amen.' 1Pet. 5:14
If we'll have sexual desire in heaven, then it is logical to assume that we'll have all other desires as well: greed, hunger, pride, etc. If that is true, then what is the point of heaven and resurrection? An eternity of lust?
When we are raised up to be in heaven, it will be in perfected bodies. That doesn't mean "buff, healthy, and pretty". It means perfected in a way that we have a hard time even imagining, and most people can't imagine it because they are too tied to their flesh.
Spending eternity satisfying the desires of the flesh is how muslims view heaven, because their religion celebrates the Natural Man. God calls his people to desire greater things than the needs and wants of the flesh and when we join with him one day, he will be our only desire.
