I don't mean to be nasty or offend anybody, but will we be able to have sex in heaven? | ||||||
2 | Heaven | Matt 22:30 | kalos | 2186 | ||
Matt 22:30 (ASV 1901) "For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as angels in heaven." This is neither doctrine nor dogma. It is merely my own observation on the above Scripture and related Scriptures. 1) The Bible does not SAY there will be no sex in heaven. WHAT IT SAYS is there will be no marriage in heaven. 2)Because of what the Scriptures tell us of Jesus' post-resurrection body, we know that our resurrection bodies will have the capacity to eat and drink -- normal biological functions. 3) Therefore, one can infer that if our resurrection (glorified) bodies can eat and drink, are they not able also to perform other natural biological functions, e.g. having sexual relations? Yours is a very good question. I don't even claim to have the answer, let alone the one right answer. But until it is proven otherwise, this is how I see it. |

3 | Heaven | Matt 22:30 | Hugger | 2190 | ||
I am new to this forum and just want to say I have enjoyed the questions and answers. I, too, think this is a good question and agree with JVH0212 that the Bible is "silent" on a clearcut answer....but my next comment is.....if it could be that there will be sexual relations...does that mean the angels do this in heaven, as the end of the verse says "...but are as angels in heaven." I would be hard pressed to imagine there being sexual relations in heaven. I think (and this is not from scripture but by the witness of the Spirit that lives in me)that we will not need the physical expression of sexual relations in heaven because we will be in love with the Lord and we will be the bride of Christ. The pure joy and ecstacy of being in heaven with the Lord is much more satisfying that anything we can experience with our bodies in sexual relations. Just a thought from a Hugger. :) |

Dear Hugger: . . . In general, I tend to agree with you when you write: . . . "I think (and this is not from scripture but by the witness of the Spirit that lives in me)that we will not need the physical expression of sexual relations in heaven because we will be in love with the Lord and we will be the bride of Christ. The pure joy and ecstacy of being in heaven with the Lord is much more satisfying that anything we can experience with our bodies in sexual relations." . . . To add to my earlier answer, our bodies in heaven will be *capable* of eating and drinking, but I don't see where we will *need* to eat and drink. The same could be true of sexual capability vs. sexual need in heaven. Maybe we will be *capable* of sexual activity, but will not *need* it because of "the pure joy and ecstasy of being in heaven with the Lord." . . . To all our master debaters let me say: Save your angry postings to me, folks. I started out by saying that what I originally wrote re this question is neither doctrine nor dogma, but is merely my observation on the subject. I do not claim to have the one right answer to the question. As Americans we have the right to debate this topic endlessly, but, frankly, I don't know why anyone would want to. . . .Your brother in Christ, JVH0212 |
