sex is one (though i can't say the main one) of the eternal aspects of the soul's nature, don't ask me how it will be in the Kingdom of God or the Paradise (because it could turn out to be in a form different from what humans living in this world have known about it - let's say for example angels perceive it in a way different from what is known in this world), but it will be there in some form, so it is just not possible that the One Who created the human being with sex as a part of their nature made a mistake, hope this will help you overcome your fear...

anyway, this doesn't matter if there is not enough sanctification for humans to have normal life - crisis means crisis after all - may God not allow there to be crisis any longer!, however, some people have been right about preferring not to have sex rather than there to be complications, but sanctification is better and best resolution to the problems...

Blessings

Luke 20:35

“But they which shall be accounted worthy to obtain that world, and the resurrection from the dead, neither marry, nor are given in marriage:”

1 Timothy 3:2 "An overseer, then, must be above reproach, the husband of one wife, temperate, prudent, respectable, hospitable, able to teach",

1 Timothy 3:12 "Deacons must be husbands of only one wife, and good managers of their children and their own households.",

Titus 1:6 "namely, if any man is above reproach, the husband of one wife, having children who believe, not accused of dissipation or rebellion."

so Luke 20:35 says that there is no unfavorably binding marriage in the "Heaven", not that the ones that will be found worthy to receive that heavenly reward must not marry in any case at all

Blessings

Did you feel the same way when you were 5 years old? Things will, indeed, be different for you 20 years from now, 40 years from now, 60 years from now. How much more different after you're in your raised, immortal body. (by the way, we recently found out my 20 year old son has aspergers...oh and he's never even kissed a girl yet. i'm assuming he'll be in his late 20s before that happens)

It appears that you are making an idol of Lust and Sex.

I'm still very choked up. I feel kind of like I'm being minimalized. I'm not convinced. I don't think I can convince anyone else here either of my loneliness and desire for a partner. It hurts too bad.
I know what you mean.

"Judge not, that ye be not judged." -- Matthew 7:1 (KJV)

Twist not scripture, lest you be like Satan.

What is the context of Matthew 7:1? Jesus is referring to hypocritical judgment. He is not forbidding have discernment in a given situation in the light of His truth from the Bible. Matthew 7:1 is one of the most abused and decontextualized verses that people refer to, often with the motivation to justify their own sin, by refusing to identify sin based on scripture.

From the original post, I saw the person was overly focused on lust and sex. You can disagree with me, but can you demonstrate how I was hypocritically judging? If you can demonstrate that, I will retract my statement.


John 7:24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment."

I'm not twisting anything; you're the one putting words into others' mouths (which is indeed "hypocritically judging," as you said):


I don't see any admission of fornication, etc., ^there^ (at most, the phrase "fleshly lustful drive" -- which, to our knowledge, he's never actually acted on, so...); just heavy concern and worry over a common (yet not necessarily correct) interpretation of Matthew 22:30 that sounds unfair.

The last thing people like him need is to be told off by modern-day Pharisees/Sadducees -- and speaking of which:

"Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more." -- John 8:5-11 (KJV)

.... I think maybe God does hate all sex after all. I can't deal with the thought of not having a fleshy lustful drive. I just can't. ....
God has blessed the first couple (Adam+Eve). The marriage happiness is great only because it fulfills the God's Plan. In Heaven people will be perfectly close to another, which also fulfills the God's Plan. In Heaven is pure happiness. Look: man dates the woman, he is happy to touch her hand. The great happiness!
