Will There Be Sex in Heaven?

Your ignorance hurts: "If I label something a certain way, then that's the way it is."

Learn to let people discuss what they think, feel, and believe.

The problem is they have never been to heaven, so it's just an opinion. They don't have any scripture to support it. They have a negative view of sex.

That’s it actually. Sex is often viewed negatively by Christians. It’s one of those “lusts of the flesh” but it isn’t. It entirely necessary to be fruitful and multiply as God commanded in the beginning.

Once a commandment is given, it doesn’t cease to be in effect until stated otherwise. As far as we know, God never said “don’t be fruitful and don’t multiply.”

Absolutely. The Kingdom will be expanding in eternity just like scientists say the universe is doing now. Who knows what duties people will be given to do and for far into 'the expanse' of space the 'missions' will go? Those who think Heaven or eternity is an eternal worship service might take some clues from the different types of angels: some worship continually, but most don't and have differing duties.

I also wish Christians would take time to understand verses, not just read them in the English texts. So many verses in the Greek and Hebrew have a different intention, than the English words. Paul said "Study to show yourself approved" Also look at the context.

That’s the kingdom of heaven no doubt. With the word “heaven” being translated as literally the sky; that’s the universe. Makes sense that we would be given assignments to reach out and do whatever God said to do. It’s happening now already.

Yes, it's not one long worship service. It will be the epitome of "Eye has not seen, nor ear heard, neither has it entered into the heart of man the things which God has prepared for them that love Him" (1Corinthians 2:9). No one has yet dreamed up what God has prepared, so the speculations about sex, mansions, and other things are dim in comparison to whatever [else] will be 'there'. 1Cor. 2:9 is one promise that is definitely talking more (or all) about eternity than about life in this temporal world.

"The LORD God said, “It is not good for the man to be alone. I will make a helper suitable for him.” Genesis 2:18 That is GOD himself saying "I GOD alone am not enough for man"

People only study things they're interested in. Religion can legislate morality, but God doesn't. I'd let people do what they want, then choose which one I will or won't interact with about the Bible and doctrine.

Fascinating. If inventors, innovators, pioneers, and people who accomplished great feats cared about others' opinions and the opinions of the experts or the majority, barely anything would've been invented and most of us would be dead.

Job's friends disagreed with him and even started that the old (still alive) and the ancients (those long dead) agreed with them and not with Job. "What right do you have to believe you're right and everyone else is wrong," was their line of reasoning. They were not only the majority, but they also stated that the experts were on their side. But in the end, it turned out that Job was indeed right and his friends (the majority) and all the old men and all the ancients (the experts and majority) were wrong.

Dr. James Dobson, a supposed champion for family and children, derided the notion that satanic ritual abuse exists. That form of abuse targets mainly children. In fact, the longest and most expensive trial in U.S. history-- the McMartin Preschool trial-- was about satanic ritual abuse perpetrated in a preschool in little children by the staff who was a family of satanists who were known in the community as christians. There were over 200 child victims many of who testified in court, yet the case was thrown out (along with other strange things surrounding it). Most people thought those satanists were good christians. Were they right just because they were the majority? Dr. Dobson stated that ritual abuse didn't exist. Is he automatically right, and does he 'focus on the family, just because he's a trusted expert? (There are many more cases of ritual abuse in preschools and day cares (like the Presidio Daycare trial) that were prosecuted around the U.S., some successfully prosecuted. Dr. Dobson, arrogant like basically all christian leaders on the big stage, would surely probably say ritual abuse doesn't exist. Prideful people can afford to confirm or deny whatever they choose because their attitude is often like Pharaoh's: "Who is the Lord that I should [obey Him]?")

If I cared about the voice of the majority or submitted to experts because of their position, then I'd be like most people around me: I wouldn't respect myself. Instead, I would hate myself. I can afford to care less who says what. Way too many experts and majorities have been wrong and are wrong. (Think about Jesus and the religious leaders who were both experts and the majority.) I care only about the truth, so that's all I'm looking for. You should try it. The sun (joy) would open up inside you, and you would be more aware of the anointing in you and wouldn't need to rely on the word of teachers (experts) and others (the majority). Also, you might go on to accomplish great things in this life.

Your statements about the McMartin Preschool trial and satanic ritual abuse are so diametrically opposed to the facts that I can’t tell if you are trying to be deceptive or just astonishingly misinformed.

You are right, the McMartin preschool trial was the longest and most expensive trial in U.S. history. All charges were eventually dropped because of ZERO evidence. It was determined the children’s accusations resulted from leading questions asked by unqualified inquisitors. These events occurred at the height of the SRA (Satanic Ritual Abuse) panic. There were dozens of individuals that spent time in prison from similar panic driven nonsense. Eventually, almost all of these victims were acquitted and exonerated.

So prevalent were these situations that the FBI was compelled to investigate. After an eight-year investigation, they issued the preliminary report in 1989 if memory serves, and the final in 1992. Following is a link to the U.S. government website where the report can be found:

https://www.ojp.gov/pdffiles1/Digitization/136592NCJRS.pdf

I would encourage you to read the report, although I am certain you will not. You can lead a horse to water but…

At the conclusion of the report, it states:

“For at least eight years American law enforcement has been aggressively investigating the allegations of victims of ritual abuse. There is little or no evidence for the portion of their allegations that deals with large-scale baby breeding, human sacrifice, and organized satanic conspiracies. Now it is up to mental health professionals, not law enforcement, to explain why victims are alleging things that don't seem to have happened.”

Nearly all or all the children from the McMartin preschool claimed there was a network of tunnels under the school grounds where supposed atrocities occurred. The parents of these children were so convinced their children’s claims were true, they paid a contractor to excavate the property to find them. Guess what they found? Nothing. Even after this, many parents would not accept the facts.

Beliefs acquired from fear or desire are emotionally anchored and difficult to dislodge.

You seem like a bright guy. Why don’t you take the time to investigate the facts? I might also recommend an important book that deals with the SRA panic in depth. It's titled:

Second Thoughts, Understanding the False Memory Crisis and How it Could Affect You

The author is Dr. Paul Simpson, psychologist, and was all in on the SRA panic. He relates how he thought he was doing God’s work by treating people who thought they had been subjected to SRA. After a long transition period, he realized he was wrong and went back to all his patients to try to undo the damage. It is a remarkable story of true repentance, and he is a Christian.

You actually suggested to someone they might be under a marriage curse. You are a fair writer and intelligent. That person or others might mistakenly think you know what you are talking about. Another book I would suggest is:

The Deliverance Delusion, Exposing The Curse Deliverance Myth by Patrick Rhodes.

The author details that generational curses in the Bible were quite rare, they only come from God, and Exodus 20:5 is not a reference to them, i.e. the sins of the fathers etc.

James 3:1 says: Not many of you should become teachers, my brothers, because you know that we who teach will be judged more strictly.

Jesus ate food after His resurrection. So His bodily functions were still intact. No reason to think the other bodily functions were disabled. I’m sure He digested the food as well.
