Is there sex in heaven(paradise) (virgin, procreation, creation, God)

[logician]

I have not doubt that death means non-existance - somewhat scary, but that's what life and death are all about - all living things must eventually perish - so make the best of it while you're here.

I rather like the idea of non exsistance to that.

I kinda touched upon this focused topic before, in the thread entiled "So what's so great about a Christian Heaven?" [replies remain invited, as always].

I'll simply repost a part of my summary from that OP in reply:

"Let me see if I get this heaven deal now...

I get eternal life in a place with no pain or sorrow.
I get to be happy all the time, for trillions of years, nonstop.
I get a house with no purpose to live in...forever.
Beyond constantly and for all eternity praising the Almighty for His generosity and compassion in providing these fabulous heavenly digs, my eternal existence serves no purpose.
I don’t need a job.
I don’t need to eat or sleep.
I don’t need to strive for anything.
I don’t need to learn anything.
I don’t need to know anything.
I don’t need to solve anything.
I don’t need to aspire to anything.
I don’t need to create (or repair) anything.
There’s no where else I need to be, even if I wanted to go there.
I don’t need to protect anyone, for there is no evil.
I don’t need to cheer or support anyone (excepting God Himself, of course), for everyone is eternally filled with joy.
I don’t need to mend anyone, for all are impervious to pain, injury, or sorrow.
I may get to spend eternity with my loved ones, but am I permitted to love them more than anyone else - and if so, what forms of expressed affection are OK with God (if you think going without sex for six months is an eternity - try a billion years on for size and see how it suits you)?

Never again a dull moment in heaven. Joy, joy, joy. Never a need for the simple pleasures of tilling a garden, singing along to favorite Eagles song, watching a sunset over the sea, playing fetch with your dog, or preparing a special breakfast-in-bed for your spouse. No plumbing to fix, no shingles to replace, no lawn to mow. Joy, joy, joy.

No heroes. No villains.

Perfection forever.

FOREVER.

And then some....

Heaven as paradise? Sounds like Hell to me.

Excuse me while I pour myself a nice hefty snifter-full of cognac, fire up a decent cigar, sit back in my comfy chair, and watch a TiVo’d Bill Maher on my wide-screen TV in rich Dolby Surround.

While I still can..."

Eternal sex would be great. Maybe in heaven I'd have a shot with my ex again.

Is there sex in heaven ???

It's hard to imagine sex in heaven if there is no lust/desire to have sex in heaven or is the term "lust" used by the Savior to describe only an unhealthy sexueal desire.

Will sex be different (a different tyoe if experience) in heaven ???

Can we reconcile this scripture, which states the lusts of this world will pass away, with the fact that there might be a different type or way of experiencing sex in heaven ???

1 John 2: 17
And the world passeth away, and the lust thereof: but he that doeth the will of God abideth for ever.

[FFH]

Do these scriptures give us a clue ???

Romans 6: 12
Let not sin therefore reign in your a mortal body, that ye should obey it in the lusts thereof.

Romans 13: 14
But put ye on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make not provision for the flesh, to fulfil the lusts thereof.

On the contrary, with eternal sex would come eternal division and conflict. It would be terrible...oh wait, it IS!

I agree, therefore I believe there is no lust associated with sex in heaven which creates so many conflicts between men and women.

In heaven our spirits will put on immortalized flesh (flesh that has no blood running through it, whcih makes us no longer subject to death)

Yeah, I remember that thread.

I'll simply repost a part of my summary from that OP in reply.

And I'll post a part of your part of your summary, since it doesn't describe my view of heaven at all!

Beyond constantly and for all eternity praising the Almighty for His generosity and compassion in providing these fabulous heavenly digs, my eternal existence serves no purpose.
I don’t need to strive for anything.
I don’t need to learn anything.
I don’t need to know anything.
I don’t need to solve anything.
I don’t need to aspire to anything.
I don’t need to create anything.

Maybe that's how you see Heaven. I plan to have a life filled to overflowing with purpose. I see myself as being given the potential to strive, learn, known, solve, aspire and create just about anything I want to. Enjoy your cognac. If you believe that's as good as it's going to get for you, I'm sorry. On the other hand, to each his own.
