Yeah, I can understand the point and I agree we certainly could not have all the sinful abuse of it occurring in the next life. Use to never give this a second thought and assumed we would not. Still don't give it much thought unless someone raises the issue like the OP did, but now I wonder if we might......I don't think sex will be in Heaven. I hope not anyway. Sex can sometimes lead to issues here on earth, and that can be bad.
I think we'll be perfect and unbound by physical desires, surrounded by the purest love that negates any earthly lusts.
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.

Wow, I hadn't heard that since my dad would say it when I was a kid. It was usually mingled with much French dialect that can't be repeatedWhat would be the purpose of gender in a fully desexualized world?
Wouldn't gender become as redundant as teats on a boar in such a world?
Well we must grant this is all speculative, but this is part of the speculation of why not sex.What would be the purpose of gender in a fully desexualized world?

So we can be who we are; as God created us maybe? I tend not to question the wisdom of God; if it makes no sense to me, it is only because I do not understand.What would be the purpose of gender in a fully desexualized world?

I am not questioning God's wisdom so much as pointing out why it is inexplicable to me that this would be so.So we can be who we are; as God created us maybe? I tend not to question the wisdom of God; if it makes no sense to me, it is only because I do not understand.

That is purely Greek thinking, not Biblical in any way. The Greeks believed that the physical, which was changeable corrupted the spiritual, which was changeless and eternal. Christ's resurrection, and ours to come where we gain incorruptible bodies, are clear statements about the nature of our future life.

Will will be ageless like fantasy novel beings?
Immortality means that we don't age.

The idea our bodies morph into something no longer reflecting exactly what He made us seems counter intuitive to the dignity and honor He has given our race among all created beings (we know of). So either we become androgynous yet somehow recognizable versions of our current self or we have all the same parts we have now. Then we ask if the body is same, what functions remains. Appears eating and breathing are still involved though am sure will have a much better control and wholeness or completeness of it, perhaps including more abilities...etc. all of which we obviously lack now. And so we could look at other functions as well. Reproduction seems out for the same reasons we would suggest it better He made the angles that way.
Once we get past the various sins related to the sexual aspects of our nature and we recognize that we can validly enjoy that right now following His Command and assigned order for us without sinning, then it seems why not becomes a valid question. Why would that necessarily stop and if it didn't stop why couldn't it be done even more perfectly perhaps in the next life without sinning. Again all speculative.
nothing more than the way a most mannequins (at least most use to) have no obvious genitalia or even nipples for example. So the idea was either we have the parts or we do not in the next life. If we don't have those parts then we obviously would look much less obviously maLe or female.What do you mean by androgynous?

Can be and also to someone looking rather gender neutral. That was not my meaning, simply without the gender parts we have now, we would look much less male or female.so we look neither or both?
Isnt androgynous a perverted thing, like cross dressing?
