Well, people are not going to be walking around in heaven gaping and lusting after nude people. I would think that is pretty obvious.

No argument brother. I am always open to a good discussion.
Okay, you win the argument based on Job 1:6 alone.
Yes, we will all be purified of that Vice and made innocent as children before enteringWell, people are not going to be walking around in heaven gaping and lusting after nude people. I would think that is pretty obvious.
Oh, and regarding our particular faith view on the definition of the sons of God in Gen 6. The Baptist faith that I was raised in taught that the sons of God in Gen 6 was talking about humans. But even as a younger person I did not think that held water. I thought, 'what is special about a human to human breeding that causes giants?' They were described as "giants", and the "mighty men of old".
I remain undecided on that. I try not to read into scripture for fear I'll read in something that isn't there.
That's actually a good practice to have.
The only verse mentioning angels in white is John 20:12 where the angels were down on earth, not in heaven. For all you know their white garments are simply traveling-while-away-from-heaven clothes.No. Each time the Bible depicts people or angels in heaven they are always dressed in white.
Don't confuse a lack of marriage with a lack sexual identity.Also, there is no sex, i.e. male-female, in heaven as Jesus said:
Matthew 22:30
At the resurrection people will neither marry nor be given in marriage; they will be like the angels in heaven.
I had the good fortune of having been blessed with an excellent Bible teacher.
I will not argue with scripture. As far as I'm concerned it is absolute and perfect.

"And she saw two angels in white sitting there, one at the head and one at the feet, where the body of Jesus had lain."

That is good. Unfortunately for us English speakers, unless we are educated in the original languages, we are at the mercy of the translators. For instance the word translated as giants in the King James bible was 'Nephilim'. I think that means something like "fallen ones". Someone correct me if I'm wrong.
My version of Heaven isn't based on ancient myth.So let's just say that originally God did create Adam and Eve and they were naked in the Garden of Eden.
As I've heard it told, because those who make it to heaven have no need for food they will have no bowels, or stomach, or esophagus, or butt hole, or pee-pee. And because there is no baby making in heaven women wont have vaginas, estruses, ovaries, or boobs.The belief is that we will have glorified bodies. So there will be flesh in heaven. I hope bowel movements don't smell as bad. Maybe they will be pink and smell like roses and incense
So let's just say that originally God did create Adam and Eve and they were naked in the Garden of Eden.
If the original state of human beings before the fall was nakedness, don't you think that will be the status of redeemed and glorified human beings in heaven?
I would imagine if the Garden of Eden story is true, that Garden was a prefigurement of the gardens of paradise.
Do you think there will be a dress code in heaven? Is there anything indecent about the public display of the human body?
No! No! No! No opinion at at all. Thing is, you simply have no evidence that "Each time the Bible depicts people or angels in heaven they are always dressed in white.." And as it turns out, the Bible depicts angels dressed in white only once, and that's while they were on Earth.Opinions noted.
Assuming there is a God, I would say the female body is his Masterpiece of Art... Such a thing should not be hidden in a place like paradise, where Joy, perfection, and pleasure are at its Heights... After all, scripture says the body is a temple... A Temple should be on display not hiddenI certainly hope so...just sayin'.
Why?I certainly hope so...just sayin'.
