Oh I do not expect you to. I just was postulating that it makes more sense if we are going to be for All Eternity on the New Earth, why would having families be prohibited?
I posted some Bible references somewhere in this thread , maybe they will help , eventually we won't have the same kind of bodies that we have now . We have to remember that God is righteous and all knowing and wiser than we can ever imagine . It's ok to wonder why things r the way they r , however we must trust in God and accept that His judgements r always correct . Trust in Him 😁 He knows what He is doing .

Except our bodies will be like Jesus' Resurrected Body and He ate food,
"So they gave Him a piece of a broiled fish and some honeycomb. And He took it and ate in their presence." (Luke 24:42-45)
If you can still eat food, and be touched (Jesus had Thomas feel his wounds), then why would you not in the new body be able to have families?

We will have resurrected spiritual bodies in Heaven that can enjoy the spiritual foods there but will not have reproductive organs. We will have our families and friends there who made it, as they also are 'in Christ'. So if you want babies, start praying, believing and seeking. See Mk 11:24🙏🙌👨‍👩‍👦

How can we be male or female if we do not have reproductive organs? How can the Son of God, be male if he no longer is a Man? It even says, "There is One Mediator between God and Man, The Man Jesus Christ."

It you remove our reproductive organs, we all become transgender.

This makes me think of the song by Queen that goes something like, "give me somebody... (somebody)...somebody...(somebody)...Somebody to loooove!

But there's so much trouble in choosing somebody isn't there? How hard will that be when absolutely everyone will be, relatively, the 'perfect' choice?

Here's part of the response; The scripture verse that describes resurrected bodies being "like the angels in heaven" is Matthew 22:30. This verse is part of Jesus' response to the Sadducees, who questioned the existence of resurrection. Jesus states that in the resurrection, people will "neither marry nor be given in marriage, but will be like the angels in heaven".
Uhhh no on the transgender issue, more like beautiful spiritual bodies in white robes. Many people who claim to have went to Heaven and back say we'll all be about 33yo, after dipping in the River of Life, with babies and kids there also. We obviously don't know everything yet. Does that help🙏😂👨‍👩‍👦

Uh, no. God is always given in the masculine. Does that mean he has sexual organs? I doubt it. Nor does it make Him trans.

But Man and Woman were made in the Image of God,
"So God created mankind in his own image, in the image of God he created them; male and female he created them." (Genesis 1:27).
Which means male and female anatomy comes from God...

Like angels is not angels, key point there. Also we are already like angels in the servant role,
"Then I fell down at his feet to worship him, but he [stopped me and] said to me, “You must not do that; I am a fellow servant with you and your brothers and sisters who have and hold the testimony of Jesus. Worship God [alone]. For the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy [His life and teaching are the heart of prophecy].” (Revelation 19:10).

I went straight to Jefferson Airplane, myself.

Don't you want somebody to love
Don't you need somebody to love
Wouldn't you love somebody to love
You'd better find somebody to love

I know that Christ is our ultimate husband, as we are His bride (Ephesians 5, Revelation 19). But yet still, I long for my God ordained husband and priest of our home. It’s this deep yearning that words cannot express. 🥲 I know that I am not alone in this. Please keep me in your prayers. I could really use some comfort. God bless you 💕
Actually, the bride for the ultimate husband is the church.

God is Spirit. and we are also Spirit, with souls and bodies. thus it is not at the level of flesh. it is at the level of being spirits. and we have communicable and non communicable attributes of God. He loves and we do too, ..... it is at this point that we are in His image. would have said more but I am in class
