I have no idea what we will be, what I know is, our gender won't matter

There is neither Jew nor Gentile, neither slave nor free, nor is there male and female, for you are all one in Christ Jesus.
Well if we're neither male nor female, maybe we're simply ale.. :rolleyes:

Does that mean there are no males or females? Or we would all be males? Or what? Thoughts?
In the Bible it says that there will be a "new heaven and a new earth"; and from this, I get the impression that people don't really go to "Heaven" in the very common way that Christians like to think.

It is just my personal interpretation, which could very well be wrong, that after we die we will have a "second chance" in this "new earth", but the really great things about it is that there will be no sin, and we will be able to have a closer relationship with God. We will still be human, we will still have free will, but because there will be no sin, and we have THIS life to learn from...we will have no desire to do evil...even with free will.

With that being "said", it is very possible that there will still be men, still be women; we will still have the capacity to fall in love and get married. The difference is that, again, because there will be no sin, our thoughts and actions will be more pure...like it was meant to be in the beginning. The sanctity of marriage will have a much stronger meaning.

I like to have a beer. Two is usually my limit although I don't live under some law that says I can't have 3 if I choose.

Exactly. Where did that harp in the clouds idea come from anyway? Yes we will live on a new earth!

Can you imagine, standing there watching the first dawn of a new creation, knowing that this time it'll evolve GOD'S WAY!?!

Well, the Bible says there's no marriage, so that part is out. I've often wondered about us becoming one thru spousal intercourse and becoming one in Christ. There won't be need for marriage, because we'll all share in the perfect union that is life with God

The New T does say to be sober... so I guess it goes to where your tipping point is. Bring me another and let's find out :) (jk)

Lol....on the rare occasion that I have had more than my limit I'm still the same person. I don't get more brave, start cursing and I obey the law and get a ride home. :)
