RE: Whispering Hope #7 - Sex in Heaven?

in #story8 years ago

Thanks, friend, for your thoughtful response.

"I assume angels don’t have male and female, nor do they have sex."

I would agree that this is an assumption on your part. I can't think of any particular scriptures that address the matter clearly one way or another, though I would be glad to be directed to any.

Some think Genesis 6:4 speaks of angels having sexual relations, though I do not agree with that view.

I'm not sure whether you may have noticed, but within this post there are quite a few "hot links" to various scriptures that I believe will provide some of the support you are looking for. I'd appreciate it if you would check those out, consider whether or not they seem to support my view, and then come back with a response?

This is, of course, a fictionalized theological fantasy, but it does in fact represent to a great extent my personal beliefs about the future kingdom age. I may also try my hand at more of an annotated theology essay at some point.

My general thesis is this: The nearly universal conclusion about what Jesus said is incorrect, is a misdirection. Jesus did not intend to say we are neutered in heaven. His point was that marriage is fulfilled in heaven. And while I don't profess to understand his reference to angels, my post presents one possible understanding of that. Namely, angels are beings with an indefinite life span, and we will be like them in the sense that the limitations and restrictions on interpersonal relationships no longer need be restricted due to lack of time.

I look forward to further discussion if you're interested.

Thanks mate. I missed the links to the scriptures. I will have a read of the post again. Thanks for your detailed reply.

You're welcome!

BTW, I will be on the God Waves Radio program this afternoon, FYI, discussing this series...
