Bible Question: I don't mean to be nasty or offend anybody, but will we be able to have sex in heaven? |
Bible Answer: 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. |
