Sex on Earth as It Is in Heaven: A Christian Eschatology of Desire

[Edward1]

This book invites the reader to consider sexual desire as a heavenly gift with immense earthly purposes. The author does not shy from discussing the abuses of a misplaced understanding of sexuality, but opens the way to seeing sexuality from an incarnational divine perspective. Spirit and flesh find harmony together in this book. While an academic work, it is quite accessible, and a book that can be devoured in a single day of study. It provides good fodder for sermon-writing on relationships and the God-given power of healthy sexual desire. Take this opportunity to exercise your eschatological imagination, discovering that erotic desire belongs not only on earth but also in heaven.

So If gender will continue to be a significant aspect of our lives in the eschaton, what will be relationships and roles in the new creation?

I think I'll pass on this one.

Christ Himself said that we will be like the angels in heaven, in terms of not being married or given in marriage. I assume that means that sex is off the table as well.

Well this fellow or what ever, does not have to worry about sex in Heaven,,, I am sure he most likely will not get there.

I checked out the book and what few pages were available to read

She (Patricia Jung) could have saved herself a lot of work because there is no need to procreate in heaven therefore no sex,

but then she would not have a book to write would she, if she had started with this truth in mind

I think Jesus’ answer to the Sadducees that “at the resurrection they neither marry nor are given in marriage”could have simply been about marriage as a contract, a contract which terminates on death. Relationships are a different matter, whether sexual or otherwise.

Mat 22:30 For in the resurrection they neither marry, nor are given in marriage, but are as the angels of God in heaven.

There is no and will not be any sexual relations in heaven. No marriage between men and women as it currently exists on the earth. There will be no child bearing in heaven.

That's the message!
