There is an article
Even in Job’s case, when he had suffered without doing anything wrong, it was important for him to continue to live faithfully and humbly in God’s sight.
Do you believe he was just patronizing God. There are plenty of gods to patronize who will not mind it at all.
5 of the most sexually liberated churches or religions are 5) Hinduism, 4) Satanism, 3) Taoism, 2) Wicca, and 1) Asatru.

It is sinful for angels to take on a form with sex parts and use them.
Where does t say that in the bible?

The flood was the result of human wickedness Genesis 6:5 " The Lord saw how great the wickedness of the human race had become on the earth, and that every inclination of the thoughts of the human heart was only evil all the time. "

Nothing about what the angels did.

so that in the coming ages he might show the immeasurable riches of his grace in kindness toward us in Christ Jesus. Ephesians 2:7

Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. Luke 20:34
you really struggle with Biblical interpretation, don't you?

Luke 20:
34. Yeshua said to them, "The sons of this world take women and women are given to men.*
35. But those who are worthy for that world and for the resurrection from among the dead are not taking women, neither are women taking men.*
36. For neither can they die again, for they are like The Angels, and they are the children of God because they are the children of the resurrection.

Verse 34 is about Earth [men and women marry]
Verse 35 is about Heaven [are not taking women, neither are women taking men...because there's NO MARRIAGE in Heaven but the Church married to Jesus]

In Ephesians 2:7, the phrase "ages to come" (also translated as "coming ages" or "future ages") refers to the time period following the present age, which encompasses all of human history until the return of Jesus Christ. This period is often referred to as the "millennium" or the "new earth" in Christian theology.
The phrase is used in Ephesians 2:7 to emphasize the enduring nature of God's grace and kindness. God's saving work in Christ Jesus is not limited to the present age; it will continue to be displayed throughout the ages to come. This is a comforting thought for believers, as it reminds them that God's love and mercy are eternal.


As you can see, the phrase "ages to come" is used to refer to a time beyond the present age, a time in which God's grace and glory will be fully revealed. This is a time that believers can look forward to with hope and anticipation.

Rev 10:5 And the angel which I saw stand upon the sea and upon the earth lifted up his hand to heaven,
Rev 10:6 And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein,

that there should be time no longer.

What ages for there is no time when the saints are at the New Jerusalem but everything goes on the same with no changes, and there is no period to period.

There is no such thing as time for it is not a universal principle, but it is a made up measurement that only applies to this creation to measure events happening.

And the sun is the measuring tool that measures a day, and we break it down to hours, minutes, and seconds, and build it up to weeks, months, and years.

Before God created anything there is no time for nothing is on a schedule but all things go on the same with no changes, and nothing is different to be scheduled.

And when the saints are at the New Jerusalem there is no time for it is the same as before the creation.

Time only applies to the creation, and not before it, and not after it.

Time is not a universal principle.

There is also no such thing as space for God is an omnipresent Spirit that fills all space so there is no empty area.
So, David Byrne was right? "Heaven, heaven is a place, where nothing, nothing ever happens."

Well. i agree with you on this one, John. Scripture talks about past ages and this present age and the age to come, but is almost completely silent on what God has prepared for those who love Him beyond the coming 1000 year long day of rest aka the millenium.

Jesus replied, “The people of this age marry and are given in marriage. Luke 20:34
“who shall not receive manifold more in this present time,

and in the world to come life everlasting.”
‭‭Luke‬ ‭18:30‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“And whosoever speaketh a word against the Son of man, it shall be forgiven him: but whosoever speaketh against the Holy Ghost, it shall not be forgiven him, neither in this world,

neither in the world to come.”
‭‭Matthew‬ ‭12:32‬ ‭

“And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world.”
‭‭John‬ ‭8:23‬ ‭

“Jesus answered, My kingdom is not of this world: if my kingdom were of this world, then would my servants fight, that I should not be delivered to the Jews: but now is my kingdom not from hence.

Pilate therefore said unto him, Art thou a king then? Jesus answered, Thou sayest that I am a king. To this end was I born, and for this cause came I into the world, that I should bear witness unto the truth. Every one that is of the truth heareth my voice.”
‭‭John‬ ‭18:36-37‬ ‭KJV‬‬

I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world:

again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.”
‭‭John‬ ‭16:28‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“and they that use this world, as not abusing it: for the fashion of this world passeth away.”
‭‭1 Corinthians‬ ‭7:31‬ ‭

Now is the judgment of this world: now shall the prince of this world be cast out.”
‭‭John‬ ‭12:31‬ ‭KJV‬‬

“I have given them thy word; and the world hath hated them, because they are not of the world, even as I am not of the world.”
‭‭John‬ ‭17:14‬ ‭KJV‬‬


In my Father's house are many mansions: if it were not so, I would have told you. I go to prepare a place for you. And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself; that where I am, there ye may be also. And whither I go ye know, and the way ye know.”
‭‭John‬ ‭14:2-4‬ ‭KJV

“but the heavens and the earth, which are now, by the same word are kept in store, reserved unto fire against the day of judgment and perdition of ungodly men. The Lord is not slack concerning his promise, as some men count slackness; but is longsuffering to us-ward, not willing that any should perish, but that all should come to repentance. But the day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in the which the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat, the earth also and the works that are therein shall be burned up. ( this age ends with the world )

….( but the promise of Jesus is eternity ) Nevertheless we, according to his promise, look for new heavens and a new earth, wherein dwelleth righteousness.”
‭‭2 Peter‬ ‭3:7, 9-10, 13‬ ‭KJV‬‬

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: for the first heaven and the first earth were passed away; and there was no more sea. And I John saw the holy city, new Jerusalem, coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

And I heard a great voice out of heaven saying, Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself shall be with them, and be their God. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.

And he that sat upon the throne said, Behold, I make all things new. And he said unto me, Write: for these words are true and faithful.”
‭‭Revelation‬ ‭21:1-5‬ ‭KJV‬‬

There is this world and its time until it ends , and the next eternal one that has no end . It will persist as aman might say for ages

Eternity is what Jesus promised ages and ages Will pass in eternity
