Bible Note: 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. :) |
