He said there won't be genders either. I know a girl named Randi and knew one named Andy.. And cousins wife is spelled Gabriel( pronounced gabrielle) so names don't always specify/reflect gender. I don't know I think some things are beyond are comprehension. I think in some of Daniels visions he saw an angel with multiple eyes or one with two heads. That might have been a prophet in the Old testaments vision.

What is your point by bringing up those names?

There is no longer Jew or Gentile, slave or free, male and female. For you are all one in Christ Jesus.
That's Galatians 3:8

I feel this could mean it in the literal sense...like there will literally be no male or female genders....or it could mean that everyone will be equal to each other.

I think its a bit of both. As to the angels being called the sons of God.,I think they're called that because its easier for our finite minds to understand.

No there's so much more. God wouldn't put mansions in heaven for nothing :) I think it would be infite, the things we could do.... Plus, even though it would be weird(can't lie) we have to be grateful this man/God gave us live and created the world we are currently one, give us breathe each day, clothes on our back, food to eat and created a new place in heaven for us.. As well as new eternal bodies for us... He has done so much ...that we really should praise him forever.

But what about people who we cared about but we might not see in heaven there with us? One verse says that there will be no more sadness, pain, etc., so doesn't that mean that we'll just forget those we loved before and will only thinking of where we are then? That's stripping us of free will, assuming we have it in the first place, which the Bible seems to indicate more often than not that we have no free will.

True, but it shouldnt be idolized.

Besides, the wonders of eternity are infinitely better than worldly pleasures.
Who says it's a "worldy" pleasure? If it happens in heaven, it wouldn't be "worldly". Also, not everything that is worldly is bad. :)

The reason, I ask because it said we are no longer given in marriage and we are like angels. So are just stop being sexual brings? Sex is big part of being human after all. Your input brothers and Sister in Christ.

I don't think there's any need for sexual gratification in heaven. I really don't find any evidence to support it.

Havent read the thread, so it may have already been discussed, but Matthew 22:30 can lead one to believe that sexuality is null and void in heaven.

Marriage and the marital act are both images of what our eternal relationship with God is meant to be. We will continue to be male and female in being, as we are now. We will all, male and female, continue to be Feminine in relationship to God, as we are now. Our relationship with Him will not involve a sexual act as between a man and wife, but nonetheless will be more sexual in nature that we can possibly imagine; we now experience an analogy of the reality, we will then experience the fulness.

If we will keep our bodies. But a transformation in our bodies will take place. The Bible doesn't say much detail about it but basically, it's indestructible. If we cannot die then there's no need to reproduce. The role of reproduction is to perpetuate our species. If immortal then what's the point of reproduction, the effect will not be sustainable and even detrimental to the Universe.
Now why would reproduction be detrimental to the universe? I studied the verse concerning angels not being married nor given in marriage and it says that the angels are not married nor are they engaged to be married, in other words they are SINGLE. The woman would not be married to any of the seven men because death has nullified her covenant of marriage with them. I'm by no means saying that the angels in heaven are allowed to marry but they are quite capable of having sex with women and reproducing, Genesis 6 states this as a biblical fact in history!

I am also well aware that this has been explained as the sons of God being the sons of Seth who were the followers of God but the bible does NOT say that. They produced hybrids the Nephilim or giants, men of renown or men of great ability and strength. My point here is that being "like" the angels, being spiritual beings will not eliminate our ability to have sex or reproduce. But why? What would the purpose be for spirit beings to reproduce? To fill the whole creation, the entire universe of endless galaxies and endless solar systems and endless planets with endless perfect, sinless children of God, God beings. God says that when Christ returns and the faithful are resurrected (or changed for those that are alive at His coming) as the first fruits and we will be like Christ, children of God and brothers and sisters of His first born Son. The bible says of the increase of His government there will be no end, it will spread out from earth to the vast endless universe. We are the FIRST fruits the greatest harvest comes after and just as the creation has no end planting and harvesting will have no end.

I believe that we will marry again for eternity, I also believe that the bible means what is says about Christ marrying but it's not to all of us or to the New City of Jerusalem, these are allegories, but to one woman who has made herself ready through the Spirit of righteousness. At the resurrection we will be a new creation, new beings with Christ, who having gone before made a path for us to become as He is literally. Living spirit beings who can become flesh and bone, eat and drink and become spirit again at will. The bible is filled with spirit beings appearing as physical beings. If you think it's not possible for spirit to become flesh or to impregnate think again, this is what God did to Mary but without a sexual relation. He did it in-vitro.

As far as the angels that had sex with woman and they became pregnant the problem there was they were not supposed to! Only God the Creator has the ability to combine Spirit with flesh and blood to produce a perfect child and He only did it once. But God allowed it. The offspring of the angels were distorted mentally and physically but in many ways superior to human beings. But they were vile in thoughts and deeds and are the originators of mankind's perversions. Noah was saved from the flood because he was perfect in his generations, his blood was not mixed with the fallen angels or their children.

I did not come to these ideas without much prayer, research and study of the Word of God and sound reasoning. Prove what you're told whether it is of God or not.

I'm not sure, obviously there's no real information with which to formulate any kind of reasonable hypothesis. But, I will say that if I were in heaven and God said, "And now, I know I didn't mention it before, but surprise: here are 70 virgins" I wouldn't complain. So sue me.

Oh yeah, cause teaching 70 people how to have sex for all eternity sounds amazing!! :confused:

My wife and I were both virgins on our wedding night... we've both agreed on this, while it was a beautiful experience, worst sex of our lives.

The spiritual side of sexuality is enormous. It definitely won't disappear, although what a person thinks sexuality is may disappear. However, if it does, it's only because it is being upgraded to something better.

I'm just saying I wouldn't complain. I'd say, "God, this is going to be a lot of work. But I'm up for the challenge."

Roll credits. Cue outro music.

I have a severe problem with that last part. Not the "no sex" thing because Id be perfectly fine with sex not existing. My problem is the "just us worshiping Jesus" bit. Is seriously all we'd do in heaven nothing but worshipping Jesus, forever, for all eternity, doing nothing but that? I don't find that comforting, I find it disturbing.


well the bible says their is a tree with fruits...and roads paved with Gold....etc.


But I assumed you knew all that so didn't mention it. And for real you (assuming you're old enough for this/married basically) never enjoyed sex? God made eros love for us humans to enjoy...don't dismiss it.

But yeah we will have a spiritual marriage with JESUS.


And trust me man get saved/ if you are saved sanctify yourself and grow more and you'll see worshiping God is wonderful man, you won't have a problem with it after that. And besides heaven is better than the alternative right? I mean I heard a preacher say it like this, "if you don't like heaven you can always go to hell".

Rather than nitpick and critique heaven to a degree I think we should thank God for even giving us another chance. For the forebandence of God

No, we do not keep our sexuality in heaven.

Sexuality exists for procreation, without which the whole concept is meaningless. In heaven there is no procreation.

I'm not quoting the Bible.

I'm quoting biology.

You don't need the sexes and sexuality for "fun" (as bisexuals and cake both show). You only need them for SEXual reproduction (the clue is in the name).

Jesus did not eat food for fun. In a human body, He still became hungry and still have to eat for sustenance. There are even times He was offered food but He refused.

Besides, how can Jesus preach about "self-denial" if He indulged Himself or if he's fat? Wouldn't that sound hypocritical?

This is a Christological error called docetism. Jesus' humanity suffered all the things that mortal flesh is prone to, except sin. In short, he ate because he was hungry, just like everybody else.

You guys are forgetting what time we are talking about. Why would I be talking about jesus before his resurrection when we are talking about things of the resurrected body. I'm talking about christ after he was risen when I speak of eating for this is what the word says.
luke 24:41-43
41 And while they still did not believe it because of joy and amazement, he asked them, “Do you have anything here to eat?” 42 They gave him a piece of broiled fish, 43 and he took it and ate it in their presence.


Jesus Christ here was already risen from the dead. He clearly had no other reason to eat here but he ate anyways. Why? Was it to prevent himself from starving? To prolong the human race with his basic survival instincts or did he do it for pleasure. For pleasure indeed, so he could show the disciples he was indeed risen. He did not need to do this but he did it anyways. Why? Because food is a good thing God created likewise sex is a good thing God created and we have no reason to believe if we are to break bread in heaven we aren't to have sex as well. Food and sex, two things basic to our human survival, two good things God created, two good things that go hand in hand. To have one without the other seems almost blasphemous.
